Homeopathy
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a system of medicine that stimulates the innate healing power of the body. Homeopathic medicine treats the individual as a whole person, and on all levels. A successful homeopathic prescription is determined by far more than a person’s diagnosis, taking into account all aspects of a person’s health, history, emotions, and environment.
The medicines used in homeopathy are made from specially prepared dilutions of natural substances, including plants, animals, and minerals. They act by stimulating an individual’s innate healing ability, which is called the vital force, also known as Qi or the healing power of nature (Vis Medicatrix Naturae).
The medical science of homeopathy was founded by a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann, over 250 years ago. Hahnemann’s approach to medicine was developed as an alternative to what he perceived as the toxic, aggressive, and irrational practices of the time.

What can Homeopathy treat?
Homeopathy is very effective for a wide range of conditions, whether they are acute or chronic.
- Adult health: Anxiety, sleeping disorders, mood swings, fears and phobias, grief, injuries, flu/colds, as well as a variety of physical complaints associated with digestion, respiration, menstruation/menopause, pregnancy, etc.
- Children’s health: hyperactivity and other behavioral disorders, poor concentration, trauma, slow development, allergies, bedwetting, autism, teething, digestive complaints, respiratory problems, skin symptoms, chronic ailments, flus/colds, and common childhood ailments.
- Pregnancy and Infants: Homeopathy is free from chemical toxicity, so it is an ideal medicine for any sensitive individual, including pregnant women and infants. Difficulty in pregnancy, delivery, or post-partum, as well as symptoms in infants, can be dealt with effectively, gently, and without side effects.
Is Homeopathy scientifically proven to work?
Homeopathy is often misunderstood and maligned by the scientific community because of the extreme dilution of the medicines used. Recent research by Luc Montagnier, Nobel Prize winner, has proven that after the homeopathic dilution process electromagnetic signals of the original medicine remain in the water, which have profound biological effects. There are hundreds of science, clinical and pre-clinical studies proving the efficacy of homeopathy. These studies have been published in respected journals including Lancet, Pediatrics, Annals of Internal Medicine, etc. Click here for an abridged bibliography of these papers.
Two nobel prize winning scientists have made discoveries that help to prove how homeopathy works, and have both become supporters of this unique medicine. Click here to read more about their findings.
What to expect…
An initial consultation usually lasts 1 to 2 hours. A successful homeopathic prescription depends on understanding you on multiple levels— all the aspects of your physical, emotional, and mental life that contribute to your experience are considered when choosing your remedy. So, you will find that I ask you a variety of questions, not only about your physical complaints, but about all aspects of your life.
In a follow-up appointment, I will meet with you to discuss the effects of the remedy. Homeopathic remedies often result in immediate beneficial effects, but with chronic complaints it may take longer to restore a deep level of health.
