Homeopathy works by assisting the body’s own powers of self-healing, rather than brushing them aside, or overriding them, as conventional medical treatments often do.
Though not necessarily implying therapeutic superiority [timely conventional medical intervention is often vital in accident and emergency situations], homeopathy has often proved invaluable in the treatment of chronic illnesses, where the best efforts of
conventional medicine have failed. Consequently, homeopathy and conventional medicine should be seen as complementary, ideally each fully available to patients and health practitioners as part of a spectrum of therapeutic possibilities.
Homeopaths use a holistic approach to health which means that as well as noting a patient’s physical symptoms, their mental and emotional states may be considered just as important in ascertaining the underlying nature of the disease [often written and pronounced as ‘dis-ease’].
From this perspective, viruses and bacteria may not be the only causative disease factors — they are opportunistic organisms that take advantage of the body’s lowered immune system and defences. Similarly, fevers, skin eruptions, vomiting, or headaches are not the disease either – they represent the body’s attempts at re-establishing harmony, which in so doing gives rise to these symptoms. Thus, the goal of homeopathy is to support the patient’s immune system while assisting it in its attempts to restore balance.
This is reflected in homeopathy’s principles, some of which hark back to an earlier and more ancient appreciation of health and dis-ease. Dr Samuel Hahnemann, MD, the discoverer [some think, the re-discoverer] of homeopathy towards the end of the 18th Century, used Hippocrates’ Principle of Similars, referred to as ‘like cures like.’ In other words, a remedy produces in a healthy person, the same symptoms as those from which a sick person might suffer.

Homeopaths often probe into fears and dreams of patients, because these are the areas of least control.
