Homeopathy
Understanding it better means adopting it
WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT IT?
Homeopathy is a system of alternative medicine faithful to its four pillars:
CONSIDER THE INDIVIDUAL AS A WHOLE
we are not simply the sum of our parts
“The Universe is a communion of subjects, not a collection of objects” Thomas Berry
Similarly, the organism is not a collection but a communion of organs and systems,
layers of energy, body and mind.
Homeopathy views the human being as an indivisible being animated by a vital force. The disease is seen as a disturbance of this vital force, affecting the organism in all its components
and layers: physical, emotional and mental. This disturbance may be expressed in only one organ,
for example through a skin rash, the fact remains nevertheless that it affects the whole being.
The homeopath will strive to find a homeopathic remedy that will resonate with the vital force
to enable a re-alignment or harmonization whose effects will extend
to the whole organism.
This remedy should correspond to an overall picture of symptoms that are specific to you.

TAILOR-MADE APPROACH
address the person of the patient, not the disease
makes all the difference
Each of us experiences his or her disease in a personal way that is different from the others.
Tonsilitis in a person may be accompanied by tiredness, a feeling of dejection
and pain on swallowing solid foods, while
another person will suffer while drinking his tea and will be rather anxious and agitated.
This is just a small example, and the same applies to chronic conditions.
We all have different reaction patterns and the homeopath will look for
the remedy that corresponds to the way you live your condition.
That’s why it’s all too common to be disappointed by a homeopathic remedy.
bought in a pharmacy for a cold: while it may well have been effective for your aunt’s cold
it won’t necessarily work for you, because your common cold
requires an individualized approach.
LESS IS MORE
to stimulate the body’s self-healing capacity
all it takes is a minimal dose of a well-chosen dynamized remedy
How does it work when there is no longer any active substance in the pellets? Initially, there is a substance (of mineral, plant, or animal origin) that is highly diluted and succussed. This allows the remedy to retain and amplify the energy of the original source. Due to its unique preparation method, each homeopathic remedy has an energy field, and the homeopath’s mission is to determine the remedy whose energy field is likely to resonate with the patient’s vital force.
Such an encounter acts as a catalyst on the patient, stimulating the body’s self-healing abilities. Since the goal is to “trigger” or boost the vital force to do its job, the patient does not become dependent on the substance for long-term functioning.
LIKE CURES LIKE
This enigmatic formula simply means that a substance capable of causing symptoms in a healthy person can alleviate similar symptoms in someone who naturally develops them.
We owe this law (as well as the three previous ones) to the genius of Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), a German physician with a visionary mind. His exceptional scientific curiosity led him to test this principle, anticipated by Hippocrates, by experimenting with various substances on himself and his followers and meticulously cataloging their effects.
Having established solid empirical foundations for his discovery, Hahnemann devoted his life to working with his patients and conducting research. Since then, generations of passionate homeopaths have followed in his footsteps.
The theoretical foundations of this science have been developed, and the range of homeopathic remedies is continually enriched through similar experiments on new substances.
AND NATUROPATHY IN ALL THIS?
a beneficial synergy
The father of homeopathy, Dr. Hahnemann, already incorporated in the 18th century into his homeopathic treatment advice on hygiene, lifestyle habits, and nutrition. He even considered that disorders caused by poor lifestyle hygiene did not deserve homeopathic treatment and should be managed by rectifying hygiene rules. We have evolved on this latter point since his time, as it is clear today that health disturbances caused, for example, by devitalized, denatured, and sometimes frankly harmful food will often require a more complex approach than just a simple change in dietary pattern.
Homeopathic treatment takes on its full meaning here. But let’s be frank: the remedy that could relieve arthritis will often have a lesser effect or a less lasting effect if the diet continues to acidify the body. We can multiply examples in this direction.
Nous allons donc envisager ensemble les changements que vous seriez en mesure d’intégrer dans votre vie de manière la plus adaptée à votre rythme et vos ressources internes, pour pouvoir ensuite poursuivre dans ce chemin en autonomie.
In some cases, we may consider supplementing with micro- or macro-nutrients or using herbal or aromatherapy remedies as supportive measures.
