Homeopathy is based on the principle that ‘LIKE CURES LIKE”. That is if a substance can cause symptoms of disease in a healthy person, then it can cure a sick person suffering from similar symptoms. For example, a person has hay fever, with watery eyes and a burning nasal discharge. Instead of giving an antihistamine to dry up the discharge, a homeopath might prescribe ALLIUM CEPA, which is a tiny dose of ONION. The remedies are prepared by a homeopathic pharmacy in accordance with FDA-approved guidelines. Onions are known to cause watery eyes and burning nasal discharge.
Homeopathy does regard symptoms as the body’s healthy attempt to restore itself to a balance. When a homeopath uses a remedy it supports the symptoms, rather than opposing them or suppressing them as in conventional medicine.
I am trained as a constitutional Practitioner, which means treating the whole person. rather than just the symptoms alone,but I really work eclectically.
