Naturopathic
Physicians are licensed to practice homeopathy and use it
as an integral part of their therapies.
Homeopathy is a distinct
medical art and science which employs tiny doses of natural
medicines to stimulate the body's inborn healing capacity.
The physician strives to perceive each patient's individual
physical, mental and emotional nature, trying always to
prescribe for the person, rather than the diagnosis.
Homeopathy's central philosophical point is called the law
of similars, "Like Cures Like." People have observed
that a substance which causes an illness or a symptom can,
in very small doses, cure the same problem by stimulating
the organism to realign itself.
Homeopathic medicines are
quite safe: they are known to be non-allergenic, non-toxic,
and free of side effects. They are prepared from herbal,
mineral, and animal substances by homeopathic pharmacies,
under strict guidelines established by the FDA
. Those practicing homeopathy include naturopathic
physicians, medical doctors, chiropractors, osteopathic
physicians, as well as trained professional homeopaths.
The in-depth interview
process delves deeply into the patient's physical, mental,
and emotional nature. People often report that they enjoy
the process and the individualized care provided by their
homeopathic practitioner. The remedy is chosen by the practitioner
after an interview and analysis. Classical homeopathy, such
as that practiced in this office was originally conceived
by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843),
encourages the prescriber to offer only one remedy at a time.
Homeopathy is an advanced
natural healing science whose tremendous value has been
proven for over two hundred years and on every continent.
Homeopathy can be effective in chronic (long-term) conditions,
as well as acute (short-term) illnesses of adults, children
and animals. Homeopathic medicines are non-toxic and have
no side effects. They act curatively and preventively by
raising your general level of health. In homeopathy, micro-dilutions
of plant, mineral and animal substances are chosen based
on a healing principle called The Law of Similars. This law states that any substance that can produce
symptoms on a healthy person can cure those same symptoms
in someone who is sick.
Homeopathy is a truly holistic
approach to health; one that emphasizes people rather than
diseases. Homeopathy recognizes that each person responds
uniquely to the forces of their heredity and environment.
Mental, emotional and physical alterations from health (symptoms)
are the indications of the body's effort to defend and heal
itself. |
