Homeopathy is a natural form of medicine that works by stimulating the body's innate healing abilities, the "vis medicatrix naturae." Homeopathic remedies are based on the principle of "like cures like" and are made through a process of repeated dilution and shaking (called potentization), which is believed to enhance the remedy’s energetic effect while minimizing toxicity.
​Homeopathic remedies are chosen based on the individual presentation of a person's illness, as well as their presentation as a whole person. For example, ten people can come down with the same flu virus, but each person may be given a different homeopathic remedy to treat that flu, as that virus may manifest differently in each person. Anxiety is another great example of the individualization of homeopathic medicine. Anxiety means something different to each person. Different manifestations of anxiety could include: generalized anxiety, anxiety with public speaking, anxiety about your health, anxiety for other's , fear that something bad will happen, fear of failure, anticipatory anxiety, as well as various physical symptoms. This unique presentation is key to finding the right homeopathic medicine, and this individualization is what makes homeopathic medicine so effective and powerful.
​
Homeopathic medicine is a gentle, yet effective medicine that works to treat the whole person. Homeopathic medicines work in a different way than supplements, herbs, and medications, and do not interfere with how these other treatments work. In fact, over time homeopathic medicines can help to reduce the need of supplements and medications.* This is because homeopathy works to decrease a person's susceptibility to illness.
​
Homeopathy is affective at treating a wide range of health conditions, but can not replace the use of some life-saving medications such as insulin for a type-1 diabetes.
​
*You should never stop or reduce your medication unless under the guidance of a trained doctor.​
