Many a time a patient wants clarification on what is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a form of complementary medicine and alternative medicine, in which ailments are treated by minute doses of natural substances which stimulate healing responses to diseases by administering the symptoms of those diseases in healthy people.
Furthermore, what is Classical homeopathy?
Classical Homeopathy is a system of medicine that works on health at the mental, emotional and physical levels.
It was developed by the founder of Homeopathy, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician who lived from 1755-1843.
The two types of Homeopathy widely practiced are, “Clinical Homeopathy” which matches a remedy to a particular condition, example a patient suffering from IBS will be given a remedy that covers IBS symptoms.
More often a combination of homeopathic remedies is prescribed at one time.
“Classical Homeopathy” is individualized homeopathy that involves in depth consultation that also takes into consideration the other health issues that affect the patient, so as to build up a “Totality” of all the symptoms and address them with a single constitutional remedy.
Classical homeopathy is more effective in treating chronic health conditions for long lasting results. As it involves a single remedy it can be safely combined with other treatment modalities to enhance healing modalities, by opening up blocked channels, detoxification, and overall improvement at the mental and physical levels.
The treating practitioner may choose the best method, depending on the case presented so as to bring about a relief in symptoms in the shortest possible time.
