Homeopathy was discovered by the German physician, Dr. Samuel Hanneman in the early
1800's. He was very disillusioned by the way the medical practice treated
only symptoms and did not address treating the cause of the problem.
He intuitively knew that there had to be a medicine that could work
with the body in a team effort to strengthen and speed up the healing
process. Also to allow the body's ability to overcome illness that it
could not alone overcome.
Homeopathic philosophy says that the only reason your body can become ill is if the strength of your body's ability to heal itself is diminished. The stimulation with homeopathic medicine coordinates the vital force in your body and gives you greater resistance. Homeopathic medicine is extracted from a plant, mineral or animal substance and made into medicine by a process called potentization. This medicine is given in minute doses and stimulates the body to respond and to fight. The stimulation acts very much the same way a vaccination does in the body. A small dose of the medicine stimulates the immune system into activity, and with this increased activity, the body destroys the attacking agent and you become well. |
