About Homeopathy
What is Classical Homeopathy?
Classical homeopathy has a 200-year-old record of treating virtually all acute and chronic diseases, including ones considered incurable by the medical profession. It is especially, sometimes uniquely, effective in addressing undiagnosable conditions such as chronic pain with no detectable physical cause, constitutional weaknesses such as developmental problems of children, and lifelong spiritual issues of all kind.
Classical homeopathy originated in Germany with the work of Samuel Hahnemann (1770-1843), who discovered the treatment of diseases via a principle known as the 'law of similars', which calls for treatment using substances whose characteristics mirror those of the disease at hand. While homeopathy remains one of the most controversial of all forms of alternative medicine, it is increasingly regarded by a growing number of health professionals as among the most effective and comprehensive of them.
Clinical method
The process of treatment with homeopathy involves a very thorough first interview followed by regular followup visits typically spaced every 3-5 weeks in the case of chronic ailments; acute conditions usually require a short visit with followups as needed. Successfully prescribing a homeopathic remedy requires great precision in formulating a homeopathic diagnosis based on careful observation of the patient and the detailed interview. Usually there is no simple formula for determining homeopathic treatment based on the name of the disease alone. This is because the state of disease extends far beyond the presenting problem into the person’s conscious and unconscious life experience.
Classical homeopathy is used world-wide, but high-quality homeopathic treatment remains inaccessible to most people. The main challenge of homeopathy is in reaching out to a large enough number of people in order to make a significant difference to the health of the public at large. To this end the Via Homeopatica clinic is accessible by anyone worldwide with an Internet connection.
Safety and compatibility
Classical homeopathy is extremely safe and can be pursued alongside virtually any other treatment approach. During homeopathic treatment transient aggravation of some symptoms sometimes occurs as the organism readjusts to its new state. Homeopathic remedies do not interact with medications, but there are certain medications (especially steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) that interfere with the body’s ability to respond to homeopathic treatment and actalize its healing capacity.
