Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a safe, effective and natural approach to restoring health. In accordance with natural laws of healing, Homeopathy seeks to cure by stimulating the immune system. It is used to treat ailments for which conventional treatment is neither available nor effective. Clinically, it has been used successfully in the treatment of psoriasis, eczema, acne, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and gastrointestinal disorders.

Homeopathic medicine is prescribed according to the Law of Similars, an age-old principle that recognizes the body’s ability to heal itself. The medicines, or “remedies,” are derived from natural substances: animal, vegetable, and mineral. They are prepared in such a way that they are non-toxic with no known side effects.

Homeopathy was widely practiced in the latter half of the 19th and 20th centuries. In some areas of New England, the Mid Atlantic States and the Mid West, one out of four physicians was a Homeopath. Homeopathic prescribing, demands both time and intellectual effort. The initial consultation lasts from one up to two hours. This method of treatment became increasingly out of step with the tempo of the times. With the advent of “wonder drugs” in the early 1940’s, Homeopathy appeared to be obsolete. As the side effect of pharmaceuticals become increasingly wide spread, Homeopathy is emerging as an alternative to standard medicine.
