What Is Homeopathy/A Homeopath?
Homeopathy is a holistic form of medicine that has been in use for over 200 years. It is one of the therapies that a naturopath is trained to use. Homeopathy is based on the principle “likes treat likes”, meaning that any substance, which can produce specific symptoms when given to a healthy person, can cure those same symptoms in a sick person. Homeopathic medicines work by stimulating the body’s natural defenses without producing harmful side effects. Not only can they be used to relieve immediate complaints, but also to increase one’s resistance to disease. Many conditions that do not respond to conventional medicine can be treated successfully with homeopathy.
