What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy regards health as a balance between mind and body. Imbalance in mind or body can cause disease or dysfunction. Homeopathic therapy seeks to uniquely unlock the healing process in each person.

Homeopathy, discovered over 200 years ago by Samuel Hahnemann, is based on the principal that "like cures like." This means that a remedy which causes a certain set symptoms if given to a healthy person will cure the same symptoms in a sick person.

Homeopathic remedies are tinctures of plants, minerals and other biological materials, highly diluted until only the atomic structure of the original substance remains. Since remedies operate on a molecular level, there are no toxic chemical side-effects from the medicine, making homeopathy particularly effective for infants, children, hypersensitive individuals and older patients.

To learn more about homeopathy, or to find a study group near you, please visit the National Center for Homeopathy. To learn more about Oriental Medicine, please visit the American Association of Oriental Medicine.

What happens in treatment?

Homeopathic treatment begins with a comprehensive interview to understand a person's physical and mental history, in addition to any specific physical complaints. A remedy is prescribed. Follow-up visits may be needed every two to six weeks to monitor progress or change remedies.

How long does therapy take?

Each patient is unique, so everyone has a different treatment plan. As a general rule of thumb, one month of therapy is needed for each year that an ailment has been suffered.
