Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine. The central philosophy is “similia similibus curantur”, which translates into “like cures like”. By using a minute dose of a natural substance, which can cause physical symptoms in crude form, the body’s own healing powers are stimulated, leading to improved health and vitality.
Symptoms are more important for Homeopathy, rather than disease names, as these are individual to the patient and indicate the remedy required. From a Homeopathic point of view, symptoms occur on any level, physical, mental or emotional. When analysing a patient’s case all aspects of that person are taken into consideration.
