WHAT IS HOMEOPATHY
HOW HOMEOPATHY WORKS?
Homeopathy is system of medicine that uses various plants, minerals, animal based products and chemical substances in a very small dose to trigger the body’s natural system of healing. Homeopathy is based on natural laws that were discovered, understood and applied therapeutically about 200 years ago by a German physician and chemist Samuel Hahnemann.
The word "homeopathic" is derived from the Greek words “homoios” meaning similar and “pathos” meaning disease. Homeopathy is based on the laws of nature 'Similia similibus curentur' - put simply it means 'like cures like'. The sense of this Law of Similars is that substances in large doses that are capable of causing disorders of the mind or body in healthy people can be used in dilute form as medicines to treat similar disorders in someone who is ill, whatever the cause of the illness.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE HOMEOPATHIC CONSULTATION?
Homeopathic medicines are prepared according to the instructions recorded in the homeopathic pharmacopoeia. Because the remedies are very diluted, they are extremely safe and can be used in babies, adults, the elderly and even in animals.
The key to a successful homeopathic treatment is identifying the similarity between the effects of the original substance in healthy people and the pattern of the illness in the individual who is ill.
Homeopathic medicines can be used along with other medicines, supplements and vitamins.

Homeopathic Pharmacies
Different people have different experiences following their first homeopathic treatment. For some, the results are dramatic and profound; for others, they seem mild and almost unnoticeable. This depends on your individual health problem and how your body responds. Everybody is very different.
Homeopathic remedies act in a subtle and gentle way. It is important to have regular follow up appointments to monitor progress and to assess the remedy’s reaction and how your body has responded to the remedy.
Homeopathy isn’t a quick fix but as we peel back the layers to good health you should find that you begin to feel healthier, stronger and have more energy. You may find that you cope with life and stressful situations with more ease and everyday colds, infections won’t last as long.
Remember, homeopathic treatment is a shared responsibility – while you depend on your homeopath to make a good prescription and manage your case well, they depend on you to provide accurate information and note any changes that happen.
The initial appointment can go up to 2 hours for adults and 1.5-2 hours for children. Follow-up visits are scheduled from 4-6 weeks after the initial visit and can last up to 45 minutes.
In between regular follow-up appointments, if you have questions, you may e-mail or call the office.
