Treating the Whole Body: Mental, Emotional, & Physical
Naturopathy
Naturopathy is a form of alternative medicine, which employs a variety of natural treatments, including homeopathy (as well as others like acupuncture, and diet/lifestyle counseling). These natural treatments include a natural approach with non-invasive treatment. The motivation of naturopathy is to stimulate the body’s healing power to treat the underlying cause of disease and prevent disease from appearing. In naturopathic medicine symptoms of disease are viewed as warning signs of the improper functioning of the body and lifestyle habits that are not beneficial. Naturopathic treatments are chosen based on an individual basis.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a specialty within Naturopathic Medicine. It is is a method of treatment that helps all kinds of health issues from the root cause. Homeopathic treatments respond to sickness by treating your whole system covering your mental, emotional and physical health.

Overall health and well-being is achieved, because the treatment responds not only to your sickness but your entire system.
Origins of Homeopathy
Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician, invented and developed practice of homeopathy to treat various health issues in 1810. While working on Cinchona (Quinine) he discovered that if it was given regularly for some days to a healthy person, it produced chill, fever with thirst, heat waves, sweat, weakness, dizziness fatigue etc., but if the same remedy was given methodically to a patient with above symptoms the person is cured.
This observation led him to understand that the remedy, which can cure the sickness, should produce the symptoms in a healthy individual. Any remedy with this qualification has extreme effects to cure any sickness.
This was the first step towards developing homeopathy. The name of which Dr. Samuel derived from the Greek Homos meaning similar and Pathos meaning disease or suffering. It was Dr. Samuel who further developed by observing and following our body’s natural healing process ,this practice, the ‘Law of Similar – Similia Simililbus Curantur’ (which means similar cures similar), and formulated it into systematic medical science. With his extensive work and observations of so many patients that he worked with aided him to develop a strong foundation for homeopathic practice.
Homeopathy follows this fundamental natural law in order to restore balance healing and harmony in our health.
Treatment & Conditions
Homeopathic Philosophy explains that to treat any disease one must understand the nature of the disease. Understanding can be possible by receiving detailed information each symptom. Additional, one must consider the patient’s state-of mind, emotional status as well as symptoms that are physiological and pathological in nature. All these symptoms provide clues as to the origin of physiological and pathological changes in the human body, thus giving a general map of the disease.
Disease starts in the human body long before the first symptoms appear. The body is never completely clear of the disease if the origin is not addressed. Unless the disease is completely treated at the source, symptoms may persist over a long period of time.
