What is homeopathy?
How does it work?
Dr. Stills explains homeopathy...
Many of my patients don’t quite “get”
homeopathy until I use my favorite
example: poison ivy. If you’re allergic to
poison ivy and you touch it, you’ll get a
nasty itchy rash.
To make a homeopathic remedy for that
poison ivy rash — or another rash with the
same symptoms — we take the compounds
in poison ivy and dilute them many times
over until there is no physical poison ivy
substance left but just the energetic
signature of that plant.
Now we can use that remedy to treat
someone with poison ivy or a similar rash.
Homeopathy’s foundation rests on the simple
principle that “like cures like.” In practice,
homeopathic medicines are heavily diluted
substances that cause symptoms in healthy people prescribed to relieve similar symptoms in people who feel sick. Though this sounds counterintuitive, it has a long history of success, especially among patients
who feel they have been failed by conventional
medicine.
One differentiator between the two schools of
thought is that homeopathy uses just enough of a given substance to stimulate the body’s own healing mechanisms — there are no long courses of drug therapies. Patients are is seen as individuals, with their own unique illness experience and the goal is to make them feel so much better that no further medication is needed.
How can homeopathic remedies
help?
One of the greatest strengths of homeopathic
medicine is that it intends to serve each patient’s very specific needs — nothing more. Though it has its
skeptics, homeopathy continues to amaze and
impress actual users with its ability to relieve stubborn
symptoms, including those that are notoriously
uncomfortable.
People who suffer from any of the following
symptoms or concerns should consider trying
homeopathy to see how it works in their own bodies:
Hot flashes, cramps, irregular periods, PMS and
perimenopausal moodiness. Even though these
menopause and hormonal symptoms vary, a
generalized homeopathic remedy with a
combination of active plant-derived ingredients
can provide relief for a diverse set of users.
Hay fever congestion. Homeopathy has long
been used to relieve and prevent the respiratory
effects of seasonal allergic rhinitis, better known
by its symptoms — sneezing, stuffy nose and
itchy eyes .
Food sensitivity after effects, including
indigestion, upset stomach, nausea and gastric
discomfort. If you have a true allergy to a
specific food, like nuts or shellfish, you should
avoid that food completely, as reactions can be
extremely serious.
Homeopathy is also a favorite prescription for ear infections, headaches, arthritis, skin problems and pediatric issues. Many practitioners and users believe it can strengthen the immune system. There is some
evidence homeopathic remedies may have biologic effects on immune responses though more research is needed to confirm a connection.
How do you use homeopathic
remedies?For many common, everyday symptoms, prepared homeopathic remedies can be remarkably successful
at providing relief and helping you feel better. Ready-
made remedies come in a variety of strengths that
are specified on the label by the number of times
each constituent has been diluted. They can be
ingested or applied topically, depending on the
remedy.
It’s important to follow the directions closely for best results — you may use some remedies multiple times to get the relief you need. In general, a homeopathic remedy is taken as needed, rather than on a set schedule.
For example, unlike most drugs that may require long-term use, the recommended dose for our topical cream, Menopause Relief Homeopathic Remedy with
Wild Yam , is twice a day only for as long as you have symptoms . Hay fever remedies and similar preparations can be different. They’re often used to stimulate a specific response in your body to help desensitize your body to specific irritants by working with your body’s natural detoxification processes.
Is homeopathy right for you?
Many people feel comfortable using both
conventional medicines and homeopathy, depending on their symptoms. Knowing your body and understanding how it functions can help you decide whether homeopathy is right for you to try. If you’re struggling with menopause symptoms that you can’t shake, like hot flashes, night sweats and headaches, a good homeopathic remedy can be effective, safe and easy to use. Many women find lasting relief and are happy to have more control over their symptoms, and their bodies. Now wouldn’t that
be nice?
