Homeopathy is a 200 year old system of healing commonly used in Europe, India, and South America. The underlying philosophy is holistic--that is, the body, mind and emotions function as an integrated whole, and so symptoms of physical, mental and emotional disease must be understood in the context of the whole person.
Derived from the plant, mineral and animal kingdoms, homeopathic remedies are capable of producing symptoms in healthy people, yet also help to resolve those same symptoms in people who are sick. The remedies cue the body and mind to recognize their imbalance, and in turn provoke an integrated healing response. By using a holistic approach, homeopathy supports the innate healing potential of the body, mind and emotions, resulting in a safe and natural return to health.
