Homeopathic Consultation
The practice of homeopathy is markedly different from conventional medicine in that it aims to find the substance that encourages the body to heal itself naturally. Symptoms are the body's response to a disease process and collectively they can lead an experienced homeopath to prescribe a substance that will actually cause these same symptoms in a healthy patient.
Hippocrates taught that like cures like, the main theory behind the action of homeopathic remedies. A properly chosen remedy will resonate with the body's efforts to return to balance, or homeostasis. One of the early masters of the practice of medicine, Aristotle, taught his students that “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts” urging them to treat the patient, not the disease.
According to patient studies, or provings and the meticulous notes of Hahnemann, other early and modern day homeopaths, as well as millions of people over the past 200+ years, a well trained homeopath can often treat conditions, improve quality of life and even cure conditions for which there is no cure.
Many experienced homeopaths have first studied and practiced conventional "western medicine", then studied homeopathy for an additional few years (up to four or more). In order to practice homeopathy in the United States, a homeopath must pass a rigorous written licensing exam. As is the case with conventional medical doctors, not every homeopathic doctor is a "fit" for every patient. Find one who you feel is the most qualified. Additionally, there is nothing to stop you from asking questions about their expertise. Many people join homeopathy study groups, either locally or online. I encourage you to do so if you want to self-treat for minor health challenges such as minor stomach upsets, bruises, motion sickness, bee stings, etc.
