Modalities ~ Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a safe, complete system of medicine which aims at the restoration of physical and emotional health, gently, rapidly and permanently according to the principles established over 200 years ago by Samuel Hahnemann, namely, that any substance that can cause an illness can also be a cure.

Homeopathy is a holistic medicine. It treats the whole person, not just the dis-ease. It is widely used for acute and chronic conditions. Pregnant women, babies, children, and adults as well as animals are able to enjoy the gentle healing ability of homeopathy.


The meaning of symptoms ...
Symptoms are not the cause of the disease. Symptoms are the body's way of letting us know that all is not well, and that the body is working to regain equilibrium. The person's total symptom picture is taken into account including mental, emotional, and physical factors. A homeopathic remedy is chosen based on the total symptom picture according to the Law of Similars, also known as like cures like. That is, if a substance can cause symptoms of disease in a healthy person, then it can cure a sick person suffering from similar symptoms. This means that illness is cured by administering a minute dose of a substance, which, if given in large doses to a healthy person, would create an artificial illness similar to the one that needs to be cured.

Homeopaths recognize that each person manifests his or her dis-ease in a unique way, which is why two people with the same disease may be given completely different remedies.


A homeopathic appointment ...
The first visit usually lasts one to one and a half hours. During this time, Elizabeth will review your medical history and obtain a full symptom picture including mental, emotional, and physical symptoms. A remedy will be chosen based on the overall symptoms and will be provided soon after the initial visit. Instructions will be given on how to take the remedy and a follow-up visit from three to five weeks will be planned.

The healing process with chronic conditions takes time. Patience is necessary. The body did not become out of balance overnight and therefore, will not necessarily re-balance overnight.


Elizabeth is registered with National United Professional Association of Trained Homeopaths and the Canadian Society of Homeopaths
