homeopathy
is a form of alternative medicine that is based on the principle of "like cures like." A homeopathic medicine (‘remedy’) is made into different strengths by a process of dilution and succussion (the application of energy through vibration). Homeopaths call this the ‘potency’ of the medicine. In keeping with its individual the potency of the remedy should correspond to the healing energy.
Remedies are believed to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. Homeopathy is used to treat a wide range of health conditions, including acute and chronic illnesses, mental health issues, and physical ailments.
Many people use homeopathy in isolation or together with orthodox medicine (allopathic). There are very few known side effects, and they are considered safe for many seeking, or who are sensitive to conventional medications. Or simply those wanting a more natural and gentle approach to healing. Due to myriad remedies and the nature of practice it is also a highly individual and treats holistically, factoring in and addressing both the emotional and physical needs.
NOTE: homeopathy is not a replacement for conventional medical treatment, and you should always consult with a qualified healthcare professional before starting any new treatment. However, many people find that homeopathy can be a useful complement to other forms of medical care.
