Focusing on
the person rather than the ailment produces treatment that
needs to be experienced to be understood
Homeopathy treats not only the entire body, but also has a
profound effect upon the state of mind and the emotions.
It is this integrated approach to treating the individual
that makes homeopathy different. It addresses core issues on
many levels, thereby providing a multi-dimensional method of
healing.
A scientific solution that has
its origins in mankind's earliest history
Homeopathy's origins date back to the beginnings of
time and its principles and methods span all cultures of the
world.
The reason for its global acceptance is that generation after
generation of people have seen how efficiently it works. One
simple example is the use of sea pebbles. Naturally coated in
sodium chloride would provide a cure for the symptoms of
dehydration. By placing the pebble on the tongue, the saline
properties of the stone would pass to the dehydrated
individual and ease their symptoms, whilst treating the salt
deficiency due to excessive exposure to the sun.
The first person to give scientific credence to homeopathy
was Samuel Hahnemann. This pioneer systematically gave
potentised medicines to healthy people. The resulting
symptoms were then recorded and a medicine created that would
be applied to the disease condition that needed to be
remedied. The medicine could then be applied in a homeopathic
manner; one in which the prescription resonated with
the client's mental, emotional and physical state.
