Why Homoeopathy

Homoeopathy is a safe, gentle, effective system of medicine that seeks to stimulate the body’s own natural healing capacity.

Conventional medicine typically views symptoms as something wrong and tries to suppress or eliminate them. By contrast, homoeopathy considers symptoms the vocabulary of disease and the body’s attempt to restore balance, however uncomfortable the effort. The goal is to understand and treat the root cause for any problems, not to mask their existence.

Homoeopathy looks at individuals, not diseases. For example, no two colds are alike. One may come on slowly and be runny; another may come on quickly and include a dry cough. In one, the person may be irritable and want to be left alone and in another, he or she will want comfort and company. A well-trained homeopath most likely will treat each cold with different remedies.

This healing system is based on the philosophy that the body, mind and emotions are not separate entities, but fully integrated. The homeopath considers all aspects of a patient’s being – physical, emotional and mental – when seeking and prescribing a remedy.

If a person suffers from a headache, the homoeopath will prescribe a substance which, in a well person, will cause a headache of the same characteristics while an allopathic doctor will treat the same headache with a substance which causes effects different from a headache.
