What
Is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy
is a natural form of healing which originated in Germany in 1796. A medical doctor
named Samuel Hahnemann developed it. Hahnemann was seeking a truer, deeper cure
for his patients. Homeopathic medicines are made from plant, animal and mineral
sources, which are diluted and succussed. This type
of medicine elicits a response from the immune system to begin a healing
action. The mental, emotional and physical symptoms of the ailment are all
given equal weight in the selection of a remedy. Homeopathic remedies are
closely matched to the individual so that a cure is as deep and holistic as
possible.
Why
Chose Homeopathy?
When
you choose to treat your body with Homeopathic Medicine you are allowing your
immune system an opportunity to work. Remedies do not overpower your system and
merely take symptoms away. Homeopathic remedies work with your body to allow it
to act and heal itself. To use Homeopathy successfully means that you will have
to become in tune with your body and all the signs and symptoms it communicates
to you. Learning to read your body like this strengthens your connection to
becoming well and taking responsibility for your health. Lastly, Homeopathy is
non-invasive, gentle and lasting. Good homeopathic prescribing can change your
life.
What
is the Difference between a Homeopath and a Naturopath?
A
"qualified" Homeopath should be a graduate of a three or four year
professional training at a Classical Homeopathy school. The training should
include an intensive clinical component. The difference between a Homeopath and
a Naturopath is quite significant. A Homeopath is a specialist in the field of
Homeopathic Medicine. The training includes medical sciences, psychology and
nutrition but the focus is on Homeopathic Medicine. Each remedy is studied in
depth and presented with a number of clinical cases to ensure that the
graduates have a solid foundation in the field. They are truly experts in the
art of Homeopathy. Naturopathic Doctors study for four years at a Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. A
Naturopath studies many areas of natural healing including herbs, nutrition,
chiropractic, acupuncture and homeopathy. Their philosophy is to be eclectic in
their approach to healing so they may use many healing modalities to address
the needs of a patient. Many Naturopaths do choose to specialize in a
particular area and may go on to take further training in that specific field.
