Homeopathy
What are Homeopathic Remedies?
Any plant, mineral or animal substance can be used as a remedy. The
original substance is diluted in liquid repeatedly, and vigorously
shaken with each dilution. Unusual as it sounds, these very small
amounts of remedies can act very strongly when used properly. Also,
because the remedies are very diluted, they are extremely safe. The
clinical experience of homeopathy shows that the micro-dose is
effective: It works upon comatose people, infants and animals.
Homeopathy is a system of medical therapy that uses very small doses of medicines, or remedies. These remedies are prepared from substances found in nature. Nevertheless, homeopathy should not be confused with herbal medicine. These two systems of medicine are very different. Herbal medicine uses tinctures of botanical substances, whereas homeopaths use ultradilute "micro"doses made from not only plants, but minerals or any other substance found in nature.

Does Homeopathy Work?
Is there evidence that homeopathy works? There are literally hundreds of high quality, published basic science, pre-clinical and clinical studies showing that homeopathy works. These studies have been published in respected journals like Lancet, Pediatrics, Rheumatology, and Annals of Internal Medicine, among others. See http://www.homeopathic.org/content/what-is-homeopathy for more information.
What diseases can be treated with Homeopathy?
This may sound strange but in homeopathy we do not treat diseases, but treat the person who is sick. Whether a person has a chronic or an acute disease, all of their symptoms, whether physical, mental or emotional form a whole representing a state of imbalance very specific to this individual. The goal of the homeopath is to recognize through the unique expression of symptoms of a patient the pattern of disturbed energy and identify among the great number of remedies available the one most homeopathic, or most similar to, the patient's disease.
