Healing With Homeopathy

Although the practice of homeopathy can be dated back to Hippocrates, it is a german physician named Samuel Hahnemann who is credited with developing homeopathy into a science, and bringing it to America in the 1820′s. Hahnemann challenged the conventional belief that medicines should treat disease, by advocating that if physicians treat the person, the disease will resolve and the individual will be restored to a higher state of health.  To Hahnemann, “A single symptom is no more the whole disease than a single foot a whole man” (Organon of Medicine).  He proposed that within each person (& organism) is a vital force, which maintains us in health.  When the vital force becomes untuned we experience and show symptoms that are labeled as disease.  Therefore, physicians can best serve their patients by viewing symptoms as important clues to an underlying disturbance of the vital force, and by prescribing medicines that help restore the vital force and the patient to a state of health.

Hahnemann used a natural bark called cinchona to treat people with malaria. However, since cinchona bark has toxic properties, he diluted the bark to insure that it would be safe to administer to the infirm.  In doing this Hahnemann discovered that when diluted properly, only a very small portion of the diluted cinchona bark was necessary to help people  recover from malaria.  This was the beginning of modern homeopathy.  Today, all homeopathic remedies begin from natural substances, and undergo a special diluting process that makes them effective at minimal concentrations. Because they are so dilute, homeopathic remedies can be used safely in conjunction with other natural and pharmaceutical medicines.
