effective and gentle
form of medicine for
the entire family

Homeopathy is a highly systematic, scientific method of therapy which stimulates the individuals own healing processes. Homeopathy is a rejuvenation of an ancient concept of health and disease. It is based on a deep understanding of the person as a unique whole, and is useful in both chronic and acute diseases. Treatment is based on the health of the entire person, not just for one part or organ system.

It is important to understand that symptoms are a sign of the individual trying to heal itself. The task of the doctor is to gather as much information as possible in order to understand all the ways in which the person’s healing forces are already acting. A homeopathic medicine that matches a patient’s symptomatology will stimulate those healing forces and lead to a resolution of symptoms.

Homeopathic medicines are prepared from over 2000 mineral, plant, and animal sources. Each medicine has been experimentally tested on human beings, called provings, in order to determine which type of individual responds most strongly to which substance. A complete picture of symptoms is compiled based on the precise physical, emotional, and mental responses of each individual. The picture represents the resonance between an individual and the medicine. The task of the homeopath during the interview is to match the total symptom picture and personality of the patient with the experimentally-determined symptom picture of one of the medicines.

What to Expect?
An initial constitutional homeopathic intake is 2 hours in length as the doctor collects as much information as possible regarding the mental, emotional and physical health of the individual. Since there are over 2000 homeopathic remedies available, it is important for the doctor to thoroughly understand the individual and each symptom that is occurring in order to accurately prescribe the most effective medicine possible. A homeopathic medicine is often prescribed at the end of the initial visit. In difficult cases, the doctor may need to more thoroughly study the case in order to prescribe the most indicated medicine. This is typically less than 3 days. A return office visit is then scheduled for 4 weeks after the remedy is prescribed to assess the effectiveness of the medicine on the individual.

An acute homeopathic intake requires far less time and is typically included, if needed, in a standard naturopathic visit. Acute cases require follow-up within 3 – 5 days. In acute diseases, relief can occur within a few hours to a day or two. In chronic diseases, however, improvement is typically slow, steady and gradual. The speed of improvement is mostly dependent on the severity and duration of the disease coupled with the individual’s vitality. It is important to understand that chronic disease did not occur overnight, so the complete resolution of symptoms usually takes some time.
