Homeopathy
Homeopathy literally means “similar suffering”. It is based on the principle that “like cures like”; that a similar, but stronger, energetic force can displace a weaker one. It was created/discovered by Samuel Hahnemann in Germany in the 1800’s, who observed the relationship between the curative effects and poisoning symptoms of Cinchona (used to treat malaria). His observations were not new; however, he was the first to form these theories into a workable philosophy of medicine.
Homeopathy is energetic, rather than physical. Homeopathy requires patience and commitment from both the patient and practitioner. A skilled practitioner must examine the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual symptoms of the patient to determine a suitable remedy. The chosen remedy stimulates the body’s own healing abilities such that the patient can experience significant improvement or cure.
Supplementation
Vitamin and mineral supplements have become increasingly popular as consumers take greater interest in their health. It can be confusing, frustrating, and expensive to self-treat with supplements because everyone is uniquely individual in their nutrient requirements. To achieve safe, effective, and affordable results using supplements, it is optimal to seek assessment from a health care professional trained in nutrition and pharmacology, such as a naturopathic doctor.
Botanical Medicine
Botanical alternatives to pharmaceuticals are quickly gaining awareness and acceptance due to the perception that they are safer than comparable prescription medications. It is important to recognize that botanicals can be as powerful and dangerous as pharmaceuticals. To ensure safe and effective results it is necessary to consult a health care professional trained in botanical medicine and pharmacology, such as a naturopathic doctor.
