Gentle medicine with profound health benefits...
Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a safe, gentle, and natural way to recruit the body’s systems for relieving symptoms and improving overall health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), homeopathy is the second largest medical system for primary health care in the world. Homeopathy is used by millions of patients in more than 80 countries and is recommended by more than 400,000 healthcare providers worldwide.
What are the health benefits of homeopathy?
Homeopathy offers a range of health benefits for both the body and mind. Here are some of the commonly recognized benefits:
- Treatment of various ailments: Homeopathy is often used for a wide range of conditions, including allergies, asthma, anxiety, depression, and pain management.
- Holistic approach: Homeopathy focuses on treating the whole person, considering mental, emotional, and physical symptoms.
- Natural and diluted substances: Remedies are typically made from natural substances and are highly diluted, which minimizes toxicity and side effect risks.
What is the research on homeopathy?
Scientists in highly respected universities, research institutions, and hospitals around the world are carrying out homeopathic research using the same research techniques used to investigate conventional medical treatments. Although homeopathy research is relatively new, the number of articles published in peer-reviewed journals has risen significantly over the past 40 years. By the end of 2021, 255 randomized controlled trials of homeopathic treatment for 136 medical conditions had been published in peer-reviewed journals. Of those studies, 148 were double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trials covering 88 different medical conditions. Studies comparing the effectiveness of homeopathy and conventional medicine have shown that homeopathy can produce results that are as good as, or even better than conventional medicine.
How is homeopathy regulated?
Yes. Homeopathic medicines are regulated as drugs under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA). The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has established a comprehensive national regulatory policy governing homeopathic product compliance concerning manufacturing and labeling.
How safe is homeopathy?
Yes! Homeopathy is extremely safe when prescribed by a licensed naturopathic physician. It has a long-standing safety record spanning over 200 years, with none of the side effects associated with many conventional medications. It’s also affordable and safe for people of all ages—including children.
If you’re curious and decide to do your own research online, please be cautious. There’s a lot of misinformation out there about homeopathic medicines. Often, when you search for a remedy, you’ll find information about the original substance—not the homeopathic preparation. This can be misleading.
Homeopathic remedies are made from substances that, in their original form, can cause symptoms. However, during the homeopathic preparation process, the toxic or dangerous effects of that substance are no longer present. In this form, they are completely safe and non-toxic.
Homeopathic remedies are regulated by the FDA and are available over the counter at most health food stores.
