Homeopathy... is a 200 year old system of complimentary
medicine . The remedies are very very dilute forms of substances like minerals and plants. The theory of the medicine is that
like cures like, which means if given the substance in a large amount it would produce the same symptoms that a very dilute
amount will help cure.The skill of the homeopath is to match the correct rememdy to the symptoms and personality of the patient.
The correct remedy will strenghen the person's ability to work through the healing response. The effect is on the physical,
emotional or spiritual level depending on the potency and need of the person. Sometimes the effects are immediate and dramatic
but other times gradual, especially with long standing problems. The remedies are generally taken infrequently while their
effect is deep and long lasting. Homeopathy works well with other naturopathic treatments and often helps a person overcome
previous obstacles to cure.
