Homoeopathy - Holistic Healing

Homoeopathy is a system of medicine that is based on natural laws. Dr. Samuel Hahnemann discovered these natural laws 200 years ago and applied them to healing ailments and diseases. In Homoeopathic philosophy, the concept of disease is a total affection of three levels: Physical, Mental, and Emotional. Thus, an illness is not only caused by a certain malfunctioning organ but dysfunctions on deeper levels as well. Homoeopathic remedies seek to cure ailments by addressing them at their roots on these three levels, rather than merely suppressing their external symptoms. Homoeopathic remedies are derived from vegetable, mineral and animal substances and are used to treat a wide range of conditions, including acute infections, injuries, chronic diseases and emotional disorders. Remedies are carefully selected, according to each individual case, to stimulate the body's own defense systems to heal body, mind and spirit in harmony, without toxic side effects.
