We are taught from an early age that when it comes to health and disease, our symptoms should disappear with medications.
We learn that we should turn over the care of our separate body pieces to various medical professionals.
Because symptoms are the problem, simple as that. Get rid of the symptoms, cure the disease. Right?
But what if our bodies are not the enemy? What if there was a better way to view health and disease?
There is a better way, and it’s called Homeopathy.
Chances are you’ve heard of Homeopathy but aren’t exactly sure what it is. Herbs? Supplements? Something natural, isn’t it?
You’re on the right track…Let me tell you a bit more.
Homeopathy is a 200+ year-old system of medicine originally developed in Germany. It uses very diluted forms of natural substances (mostly plants and minerals) to stimulate a healing response in a person, so that symptoms resolve and vitality increases.
Homeopathy means “like cures like.” This means that if a substance would cause illness in a healthy person, the homeopathic (very diluted) preparation would heal those same symptoms in a sick person.
You can heal yourself, rather than just mask or suppress symptoms.
Much of conventional medical care involves assessing symptoms, making a diagnosis, and prescribing medication to stop or lessen the symptoms. While this approach may indeed stop symptoms, relief usually comes at a high price.
Very often, when a medication is given to address one set of symptoms, it simply causes suppression on one level, causing the imbalance to express on another level.
An example is the eczema/asthma connection. Often, the use of a steroid cream on the skin will lead to the development of asthma. This is because the body is a whole, and all body systems are connected. When an imbalance is expressing itself through a particular body system, removal of the symptoms does not heal the imbalance — it just puts up a roadblock, and the symptoms have to find expression elsewhere.
Homeopathy views symptoms as clues to the underlying imbalance, and a Homeopath uses the clues to select a remedy that will stimulate the body to heal the imbalance, thereby bringing relief on all levels — mental, emotional, and physical.
Homeopathic clients report an increase in energy, vitality, and overall feelings of well-being. These are signs of healing on a foundational level.
