What
are the physical, mental and emotional aspects of homoeopathy?
Homoeopathy is based on
the philosophy that the body, mind and emotions are not really
separate and distinct, but are actually fully integrated.
Based on this perspective, a homoeopath seeks a remedy that
fits all of a patient’s physical and psychological symptoms.
Although some people’s symptoms may be complex, a well-trained
homoeopath will know which symptoms should be specially noted,
and can choose an effective, individualized remedy.
Prolonged emotional stress can cause physical problems, like
upset stomach, difficulty in digesting foods, poor nutrient
assimilation, weaker immune system, sleeplessness, etc. The
opposite is also true. Illness and physical problems can result
in anxiety or emotional uneasiness. Therefore, it is important
for a homoeopath to conduct an in-depth interview of a patient
to ensure a proper, all encompassing remedy.
What are the three levels
of homoeopathic therapy?
Level 1: First Aid
Homoeopathy can be used in first aid to safely treat common
ailments and occurrences, such as sprains and bruises, minor
burns, skin irritations and reactions (including poison ivy,
diaper rash and insect bites), teething pain, etc.
Level 2: Acute Homoeopathy
Acute health problems are those in which the symptoms will
eventually go away on their own. They are temporary conditions,
such as colds, flu, coughs, sprains, etc. A homoeopathic remedy
can be useful and attractive because it is safe, gentle and
has no harmful side effects. Homoeopathy can also be used
to assist sensitive conditions such as pregnancy.
Level 3: Constitutional Homoeopathy
Constitutional homoeopathy refers to the treatment of a person
as a whole, including past and present symptoms. When accurately
implemented, homoeopathic constitutional care can elicit a
profound healing response. Homoeopathy can be extremely effective
in treating chronic and long-term health problems. Recurrent
ear infections, for example, can be treated with a homoeopathic
remedy for a longer period of time to strengthen the body’s
immune system and to prevent future occurrences.
