Homeopathy

Our bodies have an amazing ability to heal themselves. Illness occurs when the body's resistance has weakened and the illness has penetrated the body's defense system. Homeopathy strives to restore health by reinforcing the body's efforts to remove the underlying disease and heal itself. Homeopathy works on the principal the "like cures like," meaning that the same bark used to treat a fever could also cause a fever in someone who was healthy.

Homeopathy has been used for two hundred years. Homeopathic practitioners observe the symptoms of an individual, based not only on illness and injury, but on emotional responses and past history of the patient. Whether the patient would feel relief from their symptoms based on going out into the cold or taking a warm bath tells helps the homeopathic practitioner fine tune the remedy needed for proper treatment. When a consultation is done, the first one usually takes an hour or so to get to the bottom of all responses used by the patient to handle their issue, whether it is pain, a chronic condition or emotional.

Remedies are strongest based on how they are diluted. The more they are diluted or shaken, the stronger they are. All remedies can be taken while on prescription medication, pregnant or nursing mothers and infants. They are gentle yet very effective. A licensed homeopathic practitioner is also able to "vaccinate" children as they have access to very small dilutions of the vaccinations, in a natural form, given by medical practitioners. Every year the company our store deals with offers an alternative to the flu shot, based on the current flu virus recognized by the World Health Organization.

Customer testimony: My daughter was prone to febrile seizures, seizures that occur during a fever, and the only thing that would lower her fever during an illness was the homeopathic remedy Belladonna in a 30 CH strength. This remedy seemed to help control the recurrence of any future seizures, along with the administration of B-vitamins.
