| What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy as a science and an art is a medical approach to illness that respects the wisdom of the body. It utilizes medicines that stimulate the body's own immune and defense system to initiate the healing process.
Classical Case Taking and Acute Treatment
We take a person's case in great detail in order to make the correct choice of a remedy that applies to you as a unique case. The more we begin to understand you as a person, the more we will begin to understand the various subtleties of your body, mind and spirit and how to best support your own healing process.
Symptoms are not the disease.
The body speaks through symptoms in an attempt to express how the body is out of balance. Symptoms can be the effort by the body to heal itself. Treating symptoms silences that voice and does not delve deeper into the disruption causing the body to speak.
Homeopathy works by restimulating the body's own healing abilities, when a substance from Nature in minute potentized doses is introduced.
Much like a whisper, a remedy, brings the Body/Mind/ Spirit to a well coordinated focal point of listening which then allows for healing.
CLASSICAL HOMEOPATHY is based on the principle of "like cures like."
A remedy is chosen through careful consideration of each person's individual nature to balance and to support their vital force.
Homeopathy is Listening as something wonderful occurs: You remember who you are as you uncover the mystery of your authentic self.
Homeopathy is being Curious: Being curious can be curative allowing you to emerge from your depths and become visible in the light.
A Homeopath is a Midwife: To be with you. To hold the space. To be curious. To listen.
Together we use the language of symptoms to untangle what is not your nature and keeps you from living fully.
