Homeopathy and Homotoxicology
Homeopathy and Homotoxicology
You may have heard about homeopathy but are not sure what it is or how it works.
The origin of homeopathy goes back to the end of the 17th century. Developed by a German doctor, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. His theory was based on the premise that the body can self-heal when given miniscule, diluted amounts of plants and minerals. He believed in the natural law of healing — “similia similibus curantur” or ‘The Law Of Similars’. (Like cures Like)
Many people feel intuitively that this concept is so unusual that it is hard to logically make sense of it.
However, homeopathy is recognised by the World Health Organisation (WHO). In the UK, homeopathic remedies are regulated by the MHRA [Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency) and by the FDA in the United States.
How I use homeopathy in my practice
The Homeopathic remedies I use are called Complex remedies. They combine two or more homeopathic substances to address different symptoms or conditions in the body simultaneously.
All chronic conditions always involve more than one organ or system. Complex remedies, therefore, are ideal to address the different systems that are involved in your long-term problem.
What condition could indicate that homeopathy might help me?
Many people who come to the practice have lived with pain for a long time and not found any relief. At the start of our session, we assess whether toxicity might be contributing to your pain.
Toxins can cause inflammation and therefore pain, so we may need to start your treatment gently detoxing. We do this using specific Complex homeopathic remedies that are designed to work at a cellular level. This process is known as Homotoxicology which is based on the principle that diseases are caused by homotoxins.
A homotoxin was defined by Dr Reckeweg who developed Homotoxicology, as “any substance that creates a direct or indirect toxic burden in the human organism.”
Can I take Homeopathic remedies as well as my supplements?
Yes, you can. You may find that your supplements have even more benefit.
How long would I take the Homotoxicology Detox remedies?
It would depend on your level of toxicity and how your body responds to the remedies. Initially, it would probably be about 3 – 4 weeks because it takes that time for the body to make physiological changes.
Any homeopathic remedies that are suggested are based on providing you with a tailored, individualised programme for your unique needs.
SUMMARY
It’s good to remember that you don’t have to believe that homeopathy works for it to work. Dogs, cats and horses all benefit from homeopathy which speaks volumes for its efficacy.
