There are few systems of healing as shrouded in mystery and controversy as homeopathy. You find people who have been helped by, and believe in homeopathy, and people who think its hogwash. If you’ve checked out the homeopathy page on Wikipedia lately, you find a very organized effort to discredit it. Why would people go through such an effort?

Energy

Homeopathy is very much an energetic healing modality. We know that in medicines and herbs there are physical and chemical constituents which act on a physiological level with every person’s unique biochemistry. You can study these elements under a microscope and break them down into all of their separate parts. With homeopathic remedies there are no material substances left to study. All that remains after the process of remedy making is the energy of the substance used. People often will not believe what they can’t see with their own eyes. If science and technology can’t prove it (yet!), then it cannot be so.

Modern vs Ancient

Many people believe that Homeopathy is just too new of a system of healing to be trusted. Compared to Acupuncture or Ayurveda, which have been around for thousands of years, Homeopathy is a fairly recent system of treatment. While Homeopathy itself is only just over 200 years old, the basic principles have been around for thousands of years. The ideas of like cures like and micro doses have been utilized since the time of Hippocrates. Samuel Hahnemann just figured out how to take these natural laws and put them together in an improved system of healing.

How does that work?

We know that all matter is made up of energy and has its own vibration. The earth, sun, moon, animals, plants, and humans all have a unique energetic field. Homeopathic remedies are made by taking a substance, often a plant or mineral, and repeatedly diluting and shaking the preparation in water and alcohol to the required potency. The original substance is no longer measurable, but the energy is still there ready to do its work! Energy can’t destroyed, but it can be transformed from one form to another. In this case, from physical to vibrational.

Mistunement

The human body can be compared to a finely tuned musical instrument. When healthy, it hums along in complete harmony, vibrating at its highest and best. Disease is a mistunement of the body’s vital force and symptoms are the clues that a homeopath uses to bring harmony back to the body. The properly chosen remedy energetically brings the vital force back to a state of balance.

This is all very basic, but I hope this clarifies some of the controversy about Homeopathy and helps explain how and why it works.

Bene vale!

I want to start off by sharing my story about homeopathy. I love all the different modalities of alternative medicines and have used many over the years with wonderful results. My experience with homeopathy has been special, even magical, and that is why I’ve chosen this system to devote my energy to study and share with others.

My first introduction to homeopathy was around 2005 while searching for help with my dog. I stumbled across a website and was immediately drawn to the philosophy of homeopathy. I did have success with treating my dog and continued to use homeopathy from then on. I also took some beginner online classes to learn more and, until now, I was a casual student from then on. I dabbled in several forms of natural healing, everything from herbs, essential oils, and even got off allergy medications with TCM and acupuncture. Even though I always kept that fascination with homeopathy, it wasn’t until just a couple years ago that I realized how truly powerful it is!

My oldest child has autism. She’s not just simply on the spectrum, she has full blown, will need support and care for the rest of her life autism. She’s physically healthy and has a lot of strengths, she’s bright and beautiful, and happy, so we’re very fortunate in that respect. She had been under homeopathic treatment for a few years when we went through a period of financial belt tightening. She was doing well so I thought we could forego the homeopathy.

Huge mistake, but one that opened my eyes! After a few months, we slowly descended into months of hell as my sweet girl became increasingly violent and aggressive. I’m not being melodramatic here, it was HELL. She would hit, kick, throw things, throw off her seatbelt in the car, and then start slapping me or her brother. She would have 40 minute long screaming tantrums where I actually had to stand next to her in an enclosed space while I waited out the tantrum. I had to let her hit and slap me because I wouldn’t let her run off. This was both for her safety and her brothers. They were terrified of her and she was completely out of control. She was unpredictable and I was afraid to take her anywhere. We even had to decrease her hours at school to 3 days a week, only 4 hours a day because the school days were too much for her. I have never suffered so much anxiety and fear for one of my children as I did for this one during this terrible time. It was getting to the point that I feared I would have no other choice but to medicate her because we just could not continue to live like this. She was suffering too much. Just looking into her eyes during one of her fits I could see she was in mental anguish.

You can guess what happened next. We finally realized what was going on and got her back on homeopathy! It was a long road back, but I’m simply amazed at how far she has come! She’s mentally stable, her aggression has virtually disappeared, and she’s back in school full days. She is

Homeopathy has been such a blessing for my family.

Thank you for hearing my story and I hope it conveys my deepest passion and gratitude for homeopathy!

Bene vale!
