Homeopathy addresses the body in a holistic manner, meaning it takes into account all symptoms, mental and physical, as it addresses the body’s core weaknesses and obstacles to health. The homeopathic remedy stimulates the body’s own immune system to respond and heal itself by strengthening the body’s overall constitution.
In classical homeopathy, expect the initial consultation to be approximately 1-2 hours. The homeopath may have you complete a health history form prior to your appointment. The homeopath should talk with you at length about your symptoms both physical and mental/emotional. Homeopathy looks at your entire health history as well as that of your extended family members. The homeopath may ask what foods you love or hate what position you sleep in, what you dream about, in addition to taking a time line of your health issues and injuries.
The homeopathic remedy is made by diluting a substance (plant, mineral, or animal - usually milk) and succussing it many times over. The succussions are done by banging the container against a hard surface to instill the energy imprint on the water. Because the remedy is highly diluted, it does not contain measurable amounts of the original substance and is non-toxic. The water is then infused into tiny sugar pills known as the "remedy."
The remedies are put through an experiment on healthy people called a "proving" where the common symptoms of the remedy are determined. These are the same symptoms that can then be treated with that remedy in people who are ill (like cures like). A Reperatory is used to look up symptoms and a Materia Medica gives a full description of the characteristics of each remedy.
There are several editions of The Organon, the body of work composed by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, over 200 years ago. This includes the guiding principles (called aphorisms) for classical homeopathic treatment. While the majority of pracitioners today practice from the 4th edition, there are many learning to practice according to the 5th and 6th edition which teaches giving the remedy in water. While the 4th edition "dry dose, wait and watch" method works, the 5th and 6th edition water solutions and LMs are a quicker, gentler method which significantly reduce the chance of an aggravation (temporary worsening of symptoms) before improvements are realized.
Homeopathy is receiving a ton of publicity lately. Hooray! It is a time-tested method of healing..
Classical homeopathy uses only ONE remedy at a time. You can purchase homeopathic remedies from most Medical Stores. However, I DO NOT recommend trying to treat yourself or your child without the consultation of a trained homeopath. While remedies are non-toxic, they are not harmless. Contrary to what you may read elsewhere, it may not be without consequence to down an entire bottle of remedy or take multiple remedies at once. Each one creates a specific reaction with your vital force. Homeopathy is powerful and must be treated with respect.
There are several thousand different remedies available. Many share very similar symptom pictures. It takes years of study to be able to discern which remedy may best match your constitution. So while a remedy you read about may seem like a good fit, it might not be the best one. The real tragedy is improper remedy selection may prevent you from receiving the true global healing homeopathy offers and then treatment is quickly abandoned.
Like every treatment modality - there are good practitioners and there are bad ones. Homeopathy is no different. I recommend a classical homeopath who practices according to the 5th and 6th edition of the Organon. Homeopathy is an amazing alternative "medicine." It has done absolute miracles for our family. I know that sounds out there and is quite difficult to believe but you have to experience it first hand to understand. Homeopathy is without a doubt the single most important thing we did to recover our son, along with the diet. I say the diet helped clear up his system, but the homeopathy brought him back to us
