Classical Homeopathy

Homeopathy is based on consistent, rational and scientific principles that have proven to be effective for over 200 years. The remedies can help a person at any age including pregnant women, newborns, children, teens, adults, and the elderly and is effective in a wide range of conditions including first aid, acute, chronic and epidemic diseases. Homeopaths consider the totality of an individual’s mental, emotional and physical symptoms when selecting a remedy to address all given complaints and look deeply into the constitutional make up, health time-line, emotional traumas, genetic predispositions, response to stress and core distress of a person.

Functioning very differently from conventional or allopathic medicine, homeopathy considers the body to be an integrated whole, aiming to strengthen the entire system when treating any ailment rather than focus only on a single part or symptom. Homeopathy does not use drugs to alter the body’s internal chemistry which aim to kill invading pathogens, but rather employs remedies which become a catalyst for the immune system to heal itself, avoiding unwanted side effects. ​​

Principles of Classical Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a therapeutic system which is the result of over 200 years of careful clinical observation which has given rise to a set of clearly defined principles:

• Vital Force - the life energy that animates every living being. Homeopathy seeks to stimulate and balance this energy in order to improve health.

• Susceptibility - a person's resistance to disease. Homeopathic remedies aim to affect a person's susceptibility in order to strengthen their resistance to disease.

• Miasms - the homeopathic term to describe a person's inherited predisposition to develop certain types of illness. Homeopathic treatment seeks to reduce the impact of these predispositions.

• Proving - homeopathic drug testing. Healthy human volunteers take homeopathic remedies until they develop symptoms. This information is carefully recorded and studied by homeopaths in order to select a remedy.

• Potentization - the unique process by which homeopathic remedies are made. It is a carefully controlled process of repeated dilution and succussion (shaking).

• Law of Similars - a homeopathic remedy which gives rise to a certain set of symptoms in a proving is capable of relieving the same set of symptoms in a sick person. Homeopaths are trained to select the one remedy (out of over 2,500) that will most closely match the symptoms of the client.

• Minimum Dose - just enough remedy to stimulate the healing response of the Vital Force. Only one remedy is given at a time to address the individual's entire condition.

• Direction of Cure - as healing proceeds, symptoms improve in a certain sequence which confirms that the remedy is working properly:

  • • •  symptoms move from above downwards

      •  symptoms move from more vital organs to less vital organs

      •  symptoms move from the inside of the body towards its surface

      •  symptoms disappear in the reverse order of their appearance

• Totality - the collection of a person's symptoms, physical, mental and emotional. Homeopathy addresses the whole person.
