Homeopathy
by Gretta Hildebrandt
(Salt Spring, BC, Canada)
Homeopathy, meaning like cures like, was founded in 1790 by Samuel Hahnemann. It is a holistic system of medicine that promotes the body’s own healing. Over 200 years old it treats everyone as an individual. Even if two people have the same "diagnosis" or disease label they can have two different symptom pictures.
Signs and symptoms of illness are attempts of the body to heal itself. Therefore the Homeopath needs the totality of symptoms in order to choose the individual remedy that matches the picture that the symptoms present. Remedies are given according to the Law of Similars...
"To achieve a gentle and lasting cure, always choose a drug capable of provoking a disease similar to the one it is to cure."
– Samuel Hahnemann (Organon of Practical Medicine)
"Through the like, disease is produced and through the application of the like it is cured." – Hippocrates
Homeopathy uses highly diluted substances, remedies, in order to affect the individual’s flow of energy, vital force. It can be used in first aid, acute and chronic illnesses.
"The sole mission of the physician is to cure rapidly, gently, permanently." – Samuel Hahnemann (Organon of Practical Medicine)
