What is Homeopathy ?
Like cures Like
Homeopathy is a natural and gentle system of medicine that uses small doses of substances that, in larger doses, would produce the same symptoms as the illness being treated. It is based on the principle of "like cures like."
Information systems
Your body is like a computer automatically running many systems of information (ie. nervous system, digestive system, musculoskeletal system, etc). What happens if something goes wrong? In a car there is a dashboard light signalling when something is wrong with the car. In humans, a symptom such as physical pain or emotional anxiety, fear, etc., show up indicating that something is out of balance in the body.
Symptoms and threshold
A symptom is your body’s innate intelligence giving you a red flag to tell you something is up, something is out of balance. As the body is incredibly intelligent, it can often adapt to the small stressors that created the symptom.
Sometimes there are too many stresses that a person is facing or they have become more susceptible for some reason, and a threshold is reached, it can no longer adapt. The body looses some of the computer programming and so it cannot run as it normally would. The homeopathic remedy would act to nudge the body to get back into more homeostasis.
Detective
My role as a homeopathic practitioner is that of a health and wellness detective. I take a detailed history of the patient to see what are the causes of the symptoms, what are the effects it has on the person, and what are the obstacles preventing healing. I then come up with an initial plan to support the patient on their healing journey.
