| What is Homeopathy?
|
| Homeopathy is a system of health care
developed in Germany over 200 years ago. In the past two
centuries this completely safe and non-toxic system has
thrived in the UK, India and much of Europe. It was also
popular here in the USA until early in this century and it is
now rapidly re-emerging. Homeopathy stimulates the
body’s own healing force and allows patients to heal
themselves naturally. Most homeopathic remedies are made
from plants, minerals or animal products. Substances are
diluted so highly that the resulting remedy, after its
preparation, has few or no molecules of the original substance
left. This process of dilution and succussion, known as
potentization, allows the remedy to work on a purely energetic
level, which is why the changes that occur are so deep and
powerful.

| What to expect from the interview.
|
|
The classical
homeopathic consultation involves a 75 minute detailed patient
interview. During the interview, the homeopath collects
physical, mental and emotional symptoms indicative of the
patient’s underlying energetic imbalance. This allows
for the individualization necessary for selection of the
precise homeopathic remedy. When homeopathy is conducted
in a truly classical manner, it does not treat symptoms; it
addresses a person’s constitutional weakness. As this
imbalance heals, symptoms become unnecessary and begin to fall
away.
Telephone appointments - The initial
homeopathic interview, as well as all subsequent appointments,
can be conducted over the telephone. A significant
percentage of our practice comes from all parts of the country
and even overseas. |

| What to expect from the remedy.
|
| The healing process is gentle, yet
dramatically comprehensive. Classical homeopaths do not
seek to treat symptoms or diseases, but rather to strengthen
the patient’s vital force. This enhanced vitality can
lead to many diverse improvements in overall physical, mental
and emotional health. Many patients find that, with the
vital force strengthened, they can now cure themselves of all
sorts of conditions, diseases, etc., even many that were
conventionally considered to be incurable. There is no
limit to the possible conditions that can benefit from
homeopathic care because homeopathy treats people, not
symptoms, conditions or diseases. While the healing
process of each person is as unique as they are, there are
some common improvements that are common to many homeopathic
patients. For instance, patients frequently report
improvements in memory and concentration, increased energy and
endurance, reduced levels of stress and marked resistance to
colds and flus. Another common result is increased will
power: homeopathic patients often find themselves making
healthier choices after starting their remedy. |
