What is classical homeopathy?

Homeopathy has grown in its' complexity and divergence especially in this era of 'New Age' where it is often fashionable to use complex, complicated divergent techniques, remedies and modalities which may impress the layman but rarely brings about a lasting effect. This problem is further accentuated by the absence of any regulatory control in North America.  Unfortunately, not all homeopaths and their method of practice follow the principles laid down by the founder Dr Samuel Hahnemann. Classical homeopathy is a form of homeopathy that often uses a single homeopathic remedy at a given point  based on the most prevalent presenting and individualizing symptoms of the client's dis-ease. It uses the concept that remedies stimulate the vital force in a way as to allow regaining of healthy balance by using its' innate healing abilities. Implicit in this understanding is that the client and the homeopath must work together to ensure its' continued success. 

How is the evaluation done ?

The initial evaluation can last anywhere up to two hours. Follow-up appointments generally last 30 minutes. In most cases you will be asked to be in touch over phone and or the e-mail in order to advise you on the progress. This is especially true and critical for clients on the LM range of homeopathic remedies. Since normally the phone/e-mail consultation is not extra and is covered within the cost of the initial or actual follow-up consultation, such a contact is extremely encouraged. Once the details are received, the information is processed and a remedy decided. Very often the time lag between the first interview and dispensing the remedy may be few days, though generally it can be given immediately if the remedy is in stock and the case is relative not too complicated. A follow-up visit in chronic cases is scheduled at 6-8 weeks intervals. While the beneficial effects of homeopathic treatment are often incredibly intense and quick, the proper, deep results may take longer. Very often due to the initial improvements some clients decide to delay or postpone the follow-up visit and this is generally not conducive to a complete healing and is strongly advised against. In acute situations one is encouraged to keep in touch few times a day in order to monitor the situation. In some such acute cases, a follow-up may be required in 5-7 days

Every client is an unique person with their own set of very specific emotional, mental and physical constructs and problems. Hence it is very critical to give as much information as possible not only of your physical ailments but those that pertain to your emotional and mental state of being. Very often, going through life situation from the past in a biographical fashion will give a clue as to the real cause and nature of the root of the imbalance in the vital force. Correcting this will often correct the main ailment. Homeopathy is based on the individualization of treatment where rare, unusual and peculiar characteristic of the physical, emotional and mental parts of the individual will lead to a remedy that gives the closest similimum – a remedy that can heal the fastest. Information on your diagnosis, medication (allopathic, herbal or supplements) are also critical in order to come to a proper remedy and monitor progress.   

DISCLAIMER

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ANY MEDICATION YOU ARE TAKING WILL BE DISCONTINUED AT THE INITIAL VISIT. YOU MUST CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THAT YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO TAKE ALL YOUR MEDICATIONS UNTIL YOU AND YOUR PRIMARY PHYSICIAN DECIDE THAT YOUR CONDITION HAS IMPROVED TO THE POINT WHEN CERTAIN MEDICINES CAN BE SLOWLY TAPERED OFF. PLEASE DO NOT STOP TAKING YOUR MEDICATIONS WITHOUT CONSULTING YOUR PRIMARY PHYSICIAN!

While potentised homeopathic remedies are among the most gentle of substances with no side-effects, in some instances at the beginning of the healing process there may occur an intensified healing response in the form of a brief aggravation of initial or old symptoms, an ensuing variety of discharges, and/or a brief recurrence of some of the symptoms from the past. This takes place as the vitality of the body increases and healing activity is intensified. Such brief reactions are not unduly uncomfortable and are usually accompanied by a heightened sense of well being.

Why homeopathy ? 

  Safe and non-toxic. No Side-effects

Homeopathic remedies are safe even for newborn children, chemically sensitive, and pregnant women. 

  Enhance health rather than diminish illness

Remedies do not suppress diseases. They stimulate the body’s own reactions to overcome illness. 

  Effective even in chronic disease

Chronic diseases that at best can only be palliated by conventional medicine, can be effectively dealt with through homeopathy.

  Individually tailored for you

Homeopathic treatment is not directed at the disease but at the total person and this holistic approach is what makes classical homeopathy such a success. 

  Achieve well being

The goal of classical homeopathy is much more than just eliminating symptoms. It is also attaining well being according to homeopathic definition of health on the emotional and mental level with the resultant sense of creative freedom to pursue one's purpose of life.

What is the status of homeopathy now and in the past ?

The word HOMEOPATHY was coined by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. It combines the Greek "homeos", meaning "similar", and "pathos", meaning "suffering". In essence, to practice HOMEOPATHY means to treat an illness with something that produces a similar effect in a healthy individual. Homeopathy was invented, eleborated into a body of knowledge, fine tuned, and practised by medical doctors who were disenchanted by the state of conventional medicine 200 years ago. 

By the end of the twentieth century approximately 25% of practicing physicians in the United States were professed homeopaths. In the first half of this century due to complex social forces homeopathy has become largely unknown until the most modern renewed interests in natural medicine. Many well known people have been its ardent supporters, including Mark Twain, John D. Rockefeller, Mahatma Gandhi, the members of the British Royal Family and the Queen, who consults a homeopath as her personal physician.

Homeopathy views disease as a compensated outcome of the body’s healing power. Symptoms represent not just a response, but the best response to a given stress, based on the organism’s present capabilities. Symptoms, however uncomfortable they may be, are an expression of the organism’s effort to heal itself. But in disease this process gets ‘stuck’. With the right homeopathic stimulus, this can be ‘unstuck’ and the healing process will be expedited to reach its’ goal of complete balance.

Who can benefit from homeopathy ?

In North America, most individuals come to homeopaths after failure of conventional medicine as nothing else has helped and view homeopathy as their last resort. Classical homeopathy, properly practiced, can restore health in a gentle way even in a very chronic case. Of course, I ask for a minimum three months of commitment where the work done together using homeopathy will show some beneficial results with some improvements. In chronic cases, one can get amelioration i.e. a decreased frequency of discomfort and a lesser dependence on medication. One has to remember that to reach a state of chronic ill health, it takes a long time and so it will be unfortunate to expect homeopathy to work overnight and get a cure. Chronic conditions that are untreatable by conventional doctors often respond beautifully to homeopathic treatment. Some such conditions ranges from depression to arthritis, asthma, migraines, ADD, skin problems, sinusitis, sleep disorders, allergies, digestive problems, neurological disorders - just to name a few that can be addressed successfully by homeopathy.

In acute infection homeopathy can do as well if not better than conventionally medicines with no adverse side effects. Antibiotics help them every time they get sick, but then the ear infection or a sinus infection comes back. Homeopathy addresses the core imbalance in the body that leads to various recurrent diseases and works on the psycho-neuro-immuno-endocrinological set-up of the individual being in bringing about a rebalance.

There is an increasing awareness of homeopathy and thus it attracts this very well informed group who live a healthy life style and want medicines also to be natural and gentle. These groups are a joy to work with as success is easier due to their generally higher levels of health.

The central dogma in homeopathy, if one may say so, is the holistic approach to an individual being treated of which the disease and the imbalance is seen as a part of this complete picture. The remedy is arrived after what is called the repertorisation process using the laws of similar as opposed to the principles of contraria contraris – the mainstay of conventional medicine. The advantage of such a process is in reposing faith in the ability of the body to heal itself, provided the right stimulus with the right similimum remedy is given. The similimum remedy is thus a ‘SIMILAR’ to the constellation of symptoms and individual characteristics of THIS PARTICULAR PERSON. A diagnosis, although very important, does not influence the success of treatment as much as ability of the homeopath to find the perfect match. Of course certain conditions (for example, hereditary or genetically predetermined illnesses) and late stages of chronic diseases are irreversible. There is no magic trick that would allow curing a person with the end-stage chronic illness where only palliation by way of a reduction of severity of symptoms can be achieved. The response to the stimulus of the similimum largely depends on the level of the vital force of the individual.

What precaution to take while on homeopathy ?

Homeopathy comes in many different forms: liquid, tablets, and ointments. We discourage homeopathic ointments or topical applications. The most common form is a pellet made from milk sugar with a homeopathic remedy instilled in them using special sophisticated techniques. A pellet (or number of pellets) has to be put under the tongue to dissolve. It is recommended that the pellets not be touched since any contamination might potentially interfere with the potency of the remedy. For the same reason,  containers with homeopathic remedies are stored in places free of strong odors, including perfume,  food odors and extreme of temperatures. 

Following can interfere with homeopathy and it is advisable to be aware of these and also inform your homeopath if your upcoming schedule involve such activities:  

1. Major dental work, including high-speed drilling, grinding and ultrasonic cleaning.
2. Excessive, and in some cases even moderate consumption of coffee and stimulants.
3. Street drugs, including marijuana
4. Camphor (used as an ingredient in many cosmetics and salves, such as Tiger Balm, Blistex, Vick’s Vaporub, Noxzema, Chapstick, Karmex, See Breeze, some shaving creams, liniments and many other products which have a similar odor is a universal antidote and should be avoided.
5. Electric Blankets. If you must use them, make sure that the electricity is off after you warmed the bed (to avoid exposure to the electromagnetic field).
6. Certain Holistic therapies, such as acupuncture, craniosacral manipulation, polarity therapy, etc should not be used simultaneously with homeopathy unless the healers work in tandem.
7. Strong odors in the mouth or the environment at the time of taking the remedy can inactivate the homeopathic medicine. That’s why we recommend taking the remedy at least 10 minutes before or 30 minutes after eating, drinking (water is allowed), chewing gum, brushing your teeth, and smoking.

What else should I do to remain healthy ?

Nothing like good old common sense when it comes to maintaining  health. A complete and well balanced diet with enough fruits, vegetables and WATER (!!) are better than artificial mineral and vitamins supplements. In case your hectic schedule does not allow for buying and eating the recommended variety of fruits and vegetables, there are neutraceutical options available today that are cost effective and works equally great. We recommend the Juiceplus brand as it is the most peer-reviewed and researched of all the neutraceutical options available in the market today. We encourage you to visit their website.
