Homeopathy, What is it?
Homeopathy is a 200-year-old form of natural medicine that helps stimulate the body’s immune system. It is based upon the law of similars, which means, “Like cures like.” This statement refers to the main philosophy and basis of homeopathy, that a substance which can produce symptoms in a healthy person can cure those symptoms in a sick person.
For example, a person suffering from hay fever might be given a remedy prepared from an onion, because in a healthy person chopping an onion, will cause watery eyes, a runny nose and irritation of the sinuses.
When the body becomes stressed, it’s much harder for it to stay in balance. At first little things go wrong, sleepless nights, TMJ, irritability. If you do not take care of yourself, more serious problems begin to occur. The body gets a double whammy if, on top of it all, emotional traumas resurface, or mental stresses occur.
Think of it like a bank account and your body is the bank. If you have too many withdrawals and not enough deposits, you will go bankrupt. Too many stresses and not enough, downtime depletes your body’s account. Taking care of yourself is the first step to making healthy deposits in your account. Homeopathy balances the body so that it is better able to handle those stresses, keep the income and the outflow even.
