Homeopathy comes from the Greek words ”homeo”,
meaning similar and “pathos” meaning disease of
suffering. Illnesses are treated by stimulating the
body’s own healing response. Homeopathic medicine is
prepared from natural substances, plant, mineral,
and animal, which are highly diluted and used in
micro doses, which guarantees against side-effects
and toxicity.
When illness or disease strikes the symptoms are
signs of the body’s best efforts to re-establish
it’s own natural balance. Instead off suppressing
the symptoms, homeopathy looks at the natural
substances that would naturally cause these symptoms
and uses the Principle of The Law of Similars or
“like” cures like and gives the (micro doses) to
treat according. The body, mind, spirit,
environment, and the way of life of an individual
are all regarded when choosing a treatment.
Homeopathic medicines contain minute amounts of the
active ingredients, making them very safe, non-
toxic with no know side affects. Even if medication
is being used there is no known drug interaction
risks.
