How can the correct homeopathic remedy be found?
Finding the appropriate homeopathic remedy depends upon gaining a complete understanding of the patient as a whole person. This means that the homeopath must take note of the physical, mental and emotional levels of each person before deciding on a correct remedy. Homeopathic remedies have been described as “designer medicines.” While this might seem like a simplistic and trendy view of homeopathy, it is true that remedies are specially “designed” for individuals based upon their unique, and sometimes complex, state of being. Take for example migraine headaches. We could easily demonstrate that one person might have pain on one side of their head, while another person had pain on both sides. Still another person could have nausea accompanying the migraine, and yet another could have dizziness. It is important to recognize that, in addition to the persons physical symptoms, there are underlying psychological and emotional aspects as well.
A true homeopath first gains a complete understanding of the person. This means that the homeopath takes note of the physical, mental and emotional level of each person before recommending a proper remedy. Homeopathic medicines are thus given when the total continuum of physical and psychological symptoms of the patient have been identified.
