FAQ

Homeopathy works by helping the body to ·remember· how to work, gently realigning the body back to health.

Homeopathy is based on the principle that the body has an inherent ability to heal itself. The remedies used in homeopathy stimulate the body’s vital force, which is the energy that maintains and regulates health. By matching the specific symptoms and characteristics of the patient to a corresponding remedy, homeopathy aims to restore balance and promote healing. The remedies are prepared in highly diluted forms, which are believed to retain the energetic imprint of the original substance. The subtle energetic effects of homeopathic remedies interact with the body’s vital force to stimulate a healing response.

Homeopathy and natural medicine share a focus on holistic health and the use of natural substances, but they differ in their principles and methods. Natural medicine encompasses a wide range of practices, including herbal medicine, nutritional therapies, and lifestyle modifications. Homeopathy, on the other hand, follows the principle of “like cures like” and uses highly diluted remedies prepared through potentization. While natural medicine often targets specific symptoms or conditions, homeopathy takes a more individualized approach, matching the unique symptoms and characteristics of the patient to the appropriate remedy. Homeopathy also places a strong emphasis on the vital force and the body’s ability to heal itself.

Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine that originated in the late 18th century. It is based on the principle of “like cures like,” meaning that a substance that can cause symptoms in a healthy person can be used in a highly diluted form to treat similar symptoms in an ill person. Homeopathic remedies are made from natural substances such as plants, minerals, or animals and are prepared through a process of potentization, which involves serial dilution and succussion. This process aims to enhance the therapeutic properties of the substance while minimizing any potential toxicity.

Homeopathy and allopathic medicine (conventional medicine) differ in several key aspects. Allopathic medicine focuses on treating specific symptoms or diseases with drugs or surgeries, often targeting the affected area directly. In contrast, homeopathy takes a holistic approach, considering the overall health and individual characteristics of the patient. Homeopathic remedies are highly individualized and aim to stimulate the body’s innate healing mechanisms, rather than suppressing symptoms. Furthermore, homeopathy emphasizes the importance of treating the underlying cause of illness rather than just

The most important rule when taking homeopathic remedies is to always take them on a neutral palate (about 15 min away from any food or drink or strong tastes like toothpaste or chewing gum) as the remedies get absorbed through he mucus membranes in the mouth, so a neutral palate allows optimal absorption. The remedies also need to be taken an hour away from caffeine, as caffeine is a stimulant and it will ‘rush’ the remedies out of your system before they have had their full effect.
