Homeopathic medicine is a scientifically proven practice and the second most commonly used system of medicine worldwide. Homeopathy treats illness using remedies prepared from natural substances.

In homeopathy, the chosen remedy must produce similar symptoms to a healthy person as the symptoms observed by the practitioner of a sick one. Homeopathy derives its name from the Greek language “Homoios” for the same and “Patheia” for suffering.

To determine the appropriate remedy, the practitioner carefully observes and listens to the patient, seeking to understand who the person was before the illness. Practitioner and patient work together to select a remedy that supports the restoration of health.

Classical Hahnemannian homeopaths prescribe one remedy at a time. This approach allows both practitioner and patient to observe changes and adjust the dosage as needed.

The goal of treatment is to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. As the body repairs itself, symptoms gradually diminish until they disappear. At that point, the remedy is discontinued while progress toward wellness continues to be observed.
