What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is energy medicine derived from a potentized substance that has the power to heal an individual with a similar resonance to the very same substance. In other words, when a person’s energy is matched with a similar energy from a potentized homeopathic substance, it stimulates the individual’s unique and inherent healing response.

In the late 18^th century, Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician, discovered and developed homeopathy to treat his ailing patients. He established the main principle behind homeopathy’s healing response, called “like cures like,” also known as “law of similars”. Approximately 600 substances were proven and used as homeopathic remedies by the end of the 19^th century ¹. Since then, homeopathy has evolved to offer more than 6,500 remedies for therapeutic use.

Potentized medicines are prepared by liberating the dynamic energy within a substance. Potentization is a technique of stepwise, dilution and succussion of the original substance. Each serial dilution is followed by succussion, which involves vigorous shaking. What happens then is that many dilutions and succussions liberates finer symptoms of the substance ⁵. It is these finer symptoms that are matched to the individual’s theme and symptoms. Serial dilution methods involve either 1:10 ratio denoted by X/D, or 1:100 ratio denoted by C.

Homeopathic remedies are mainly derived from substances belonging to the mineral, plant and animal kingdoms. New substances are proven (tested) in healthy individuals to determine their unique characteristics before being considered as possible remedies. Pro
