It can. Homeopathy can safely and effectively be used for many acute ailments such as for mild infections, coughs, earaches, influenza, injuries, pain and inflammation.

Homeopaths spend years in school. These schools are specifically designed to train students on becoming experts on homeopathic remedies. These medicines can boost a person’s health by tailoring remedies to the unique symptoms a person experiences.

Naturopaths on the other hand, have extensive training in many forms of natural medicine and supplementation. However, only some have training in classical homeopathy.

Homeopathy uses small but powerful doses of natural substances. The medicines originate from natural sources, such as plants, minerals and animals, which are prepared in a unique way through a series of repeated dilutions and succussions. These succussions leave behind nanoparticles which make the medicines more powerful, while removing any impurities or toxins from the original substance. Through “provings”, clinical experience and scientific studies we know how effective homeopathic medicines are.

Remedies work based on the principle of “like cures like”. In other words, a remedy that causes symptoms in a healthy person will heal similar symptoms in a sick person. For example, when you chop an onion you have watery eyes and a runny nose. The homeopathic remedy Allium cepa (red onion) can help with allergies where the main symptoms are watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing and throat irritation.

There are no side effects. Homeopathic remedies can be used safely by pregnant women, babies and the elderly. However, remedies should never be used carelessly and should be administered by a professional.

In order to create an individualized treatment plan for you I will need to know a lot about you besides your ailments. This includes your past medical history, family medical history, past and current treatments and other health related issues. Aside from that, diet, lifestyle, hobbies, likes and dislikes, nature and temperament will be discussed. Any emotional upsets and stressful events that have occurred will also be important to discuss. All of this information is helpful in getting to the root cause of your current ailments.

Homeopathic remedies can act quite quickly in acute situations. However in chronic conditions, where an ailment has been occurring for years, it may take much longer to see results with homeopathy.

For chronic, longstanding ailments multiple follow-up visits may be required to assess and track the healing process.

It depends. Some health plans do cover Homeopathy. Contact your provider to learn if you have coverage.
