What is Homoeopathy?
Homoeopathy is a natural system of healing which recognises that we are individuals and react individually to illness.
Homoeopathy is a unique system of treatment for both physical ailments and emotionally based conditions.
Homoeopathy can treat clinically functional and structural manifestations of disease, as well as non specific distubances of body chemistry which may not have been diagnosed as such, but nevertheless cause a great deal of suffering to the individual.
"Let like Be Cured By Like"
Homoeopathy is based on the Law of Similars, that states what a substance can cause, it can cure. This is a natural law observed as far back as 500BC by Hippocrates. The development of this law into a system of therapeutics was achieved over 200 years ago by a German physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. He tested many medicinal substances on healthy people and found that each substance produced a specific set of symptoms. When the same preparation was administered in an extremely small dose to a sick person whose illness produced a similar set of symptoms the illness would then be cured - thus like (medicine) cures like (illness).
How Does Homoeopathy work?
Homeopathic medicines are made predominantly from plants and minerals. They are made in homoeopathic pharmacies by a special dilution process so the medicine is low in concentration but high in energy. Experience has shown that the most minute doses of homoeopathic remedies are often sufficient to counteract disease. Individually selected homoeoapthic medicines act deeply, yet gently, to stimulate the body's own recuperative powers, it's vital force. The use of a 'similar' healing medicine allows the body to restore itself to a balanced state of health on all levels.
Homoeopathic Treatment
Homoeopathy treats acute and chronic illness in both their physical and emotional aspects.
In acute illness the response is often rapid. In chronic conditions the treatment may take longer, depending on how severe and long standing the illness is.
During the extended first consultation time is spent with the patient carefully listening to to all their concerns. If required a written history by the patient may be necessary. Based on the totality of symptoms and causation, a diagnosis is made and a homoeopathic remedy is prescribed.
Homoeopathy is a safe, easily administered, pleasant tasting and effective treatment for everyone from babies and children, to pregnant women, adults and the aged.
Dietary and lifestyle influences are considered and modified when necessary.
The Karuna Centre for Natural Therapies houses one of the largest stock of homoeopathic remedies in Melbourne.
