Homeopathy Is Patient-Centric Medicine

Homeopathy is patient-centric, energy medicine. A medicine repeatedly taken by a healthy person causes symptoms; but, in a sick person with those symptoms, that remedy makes the symptoms disappear. In order to find the bespoke remedy, a homeopath gets at and to the essence, finding the most similar remedy.

Why aren’t you in perfect health? Your life is a balance, and to maintain that balance, your flow of energy must remain intact. You have a life force [vital] energy that is very strong when you’re born healthy. You may have lots of energy when young, and if everything went well, you would not get sick. But, you may become susceptible to an illness for various reasons [heredity, faulty nutrition, poor diet, exposure to toxins, etc]. Your life may tip between disease and health often. As we get older, our balance may become increasingly compromised. In homeopathy, we find the imbalance through signs, or signals, your body expresses and use them to find your specific remedy.

The homeopath looks at the signals from the whole being, not individual parts. You are considered synergistically, and every part of the body is considered when coming to the correct remedy. We treat the person, not the disease; we don’t often look for tests and allopathic considerations. In my practice, I often rely on my training in Natural Health to adjust lifestyle and diet to make immediate improvements, or to avoid dangerous or unhealthy activities of which the client/patient may not be aware.

THE INDIVIDUAL, NOT JUST THE ILLNESS
