Homeopathy might sound like a modern trend, but it's actually a centuries-old system of natural healing. It's based on the principle that "like cures like," meaning that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can, in very small doses, treat similar symptoms in a sick person.
Homeopaths take a holistic view of health, believing that the body, mind, and emotions are interconnected. They use highly diluted natural substances, often derived from plants, minerals, or animals, to stimulate the body's self-healing abilities.
Homeopathy is suitable for people of all ages and can be used to address a wide variety of health concerns. It primarily works on the energetic level, using individualized and patient-centered approaches.
Homeopathic remedies are prepared through a specific process of serial dilution and vigorous shaking, known as "succussion." The result is a unique treatment tailored to the patient's specific symptoms and overall constitution. Aromatherapy can be also be used during a homeopathic treatment.
