Healing Through Homeopathy
“Homeopathy is a specific practice conceived in
the early 19th century by Samuel Hahnemann, a conventionally trained German physician, who became disillusioned with bloodletting, leeches, suction cups, purges and arsenic powders, all standard treatments at the time.”
And thank God for that!
What Hahnemann discovered:
Like Cures Like
You’re essentially taking small doses(heavily diluted) of a substance that mimics exactly what ails you.
You’re probably familiar with Oscillococcinum for the flu.
My kids were raised on homeopathy, chiropractic, herbal medicine, acupuncture and organic foods.
Their pediatrician called me up and asked me to come in and do a wellness talk for parents because she saw my kids once a year for their “welll check” and wanted me to share how I was supporting my kids health and immune system.
I was that mother that signed off on all injections and almost never accepted a prescription for anything.
This is NOT a brag. The proof was in the pudding.
Kudos to that Doctor because most are so entrenched in mainstream medical ideology that they can’t see the Forest through the trees.
Homeopathy is touted as a CURE. No other alternative system of care can claim that.
It’s gentle, non toxic(you cannot overdose) and non invasive.
The essence of homeopathy is rooted in the Classical method of prescribing. However, there are a few newer modalities that incorporate prescribing several remedies at a time in different dilutions.
I used to work for HEEL and Hyland’s Homeopathic. You may have heard of Hyland’s and seen it on the shelves. It’s my favorite company for kids’ remedies!
Boiron is a French company that pushes out the most well know remedies(blue and purple dispensers).
Homeopathy dispenses in dilutions.
There’s X’s, C’s, CK’s and ML’s (liquid dilutions that you succus upon practitioners directions).
The X’s, and 6c’s are used mainly for acute symptoms, while the 30c’s and up are utilized for deeper, more chronic challenges with a mental/emotional component.
The Materia Medica is the Bible of Homeopathy and used to choose the remedy or remedies.
If it sounds complicated, it’s because it is. It requires a lot of detective work and mapping of symptoms with the client’s constitution.
For basic homeopathy principes I suggest visiting ABC Homeopathy - homeopathic remedy store, materia medica, remedy finder and active forum. This forum is easy to naviagte and a great introduction to this wonderful system of medicne.
