The highest ideal of cure is the speedy, gentle, and enduring restoration of health by the most trustworthy and least harmful way.” – Samuel Hahnemann, Father of Homeopathy
The human body is wonderfully complex with multiple systems that work together harmoniously to maintain health. But it can become weakened. Homeopathy reinforces the body’s work of self-healing and strengthens its resiliency to stress by helping the body recover and maintain homeostasis.
Homeopathy means “similar suffering”. This is the central tenet of homeopathic philosophy. Like cures like.
It is the term used by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), the Father of Homeopathy, to describe his holistic method of restoring wellness to the body physically, mentally, and emotionally. Expanding on the classical principle that “By similar things a disease is produced, and through the application of the like is cured” – Hippocrates (460-377 BC), Hahnemann discovered that by giving specially prepared microdoses of potentized natural substances, not only did the homeopathic remedy address the totality of symptoms of the patient, but harmful side-effects were avoided.
Scientific research continues to provide new insights into this remedy of the future. For over 200 years, homeopathy has been a safe, gentle, effective, and inexpensive healthcare option used by an estimated 500 million people all over the world. Samuel Hahnemann would be pleased.
