Homeopathy in the Sydney CBD

Homeopathy Sydney

"The highest ideal of cure is rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of health, or removal and annihilation of disease in its whole extent, in the shortest, most reliable, and most harmless way, on easily comprehensible principles."
-Samuel Hahnemann, Organon of Medicine, 1842

For over 200 years, homeopathy has been used by millions of people as a natural way to promote healing. Its methods are safe and effective and have been clinically proven by thousands of homeopathic practitioners. Studies published in journals such as the British Medical Journal, the Oxford Journal and the Lancet have confirmed that these naturally derived remedies work. Some are even more effective than pharmaceutical treatments.
Homeopathic medicine is a natural, gentle system of treating illness. Homeopathy is based on principles discovered by Hippocrates, considered the father of modern medicine, in 450 BC. These principles were later organized into a system of medicine in Europe by Dr Samuel Hahnemann in the late 1700’s. The term comes from the Greek words "Homeo", meaning similar and "pathy" meaning disease, or suffering. The key principle of like cures like means is that if a particular substance causes symptoms in a healthy person, than a highly diluted form of the same substance can be used to treat an ill person.

Does this make sense? As an every day example, we know that caffeinated drinks, especially coffee can disrupt our sleep, especially if we tend to drink them in the afternoon or at night. Dr. Hahnemann took this understanding one step further and discovered that if weak coffee could cause insomnia in a normally healthy person, then diluted coffee could also be used to treat a person having serious sleep problems. The same concept is used in conventional medicine in vaccination treatments, where a small amount of a certain virus is given as a preventative treatment for the full-blown disease.

In medical terms, we call this hormesis. Hormesis is occurs when a toxic substance acts like a stimulant in tiny doses, but as an inhibitor in large doses. By using micro doses of a fertilizer to improve crop production, research done by scientists at Michigan State University shows how hormesis works in nature. After treating the crops with a dose of fertilizer that had 9 times dilution, the crop yield increased by 25-30% and produced noticeably larger individual vegetables. Within our own bodies, trace amounts of specific substances or hormones can have drastic effects on our bodies, energy levels and our moods - if in doubt, just ask anyone who has raised a teenager!

Several studies have been published in recent medical journals that verify the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies. One example, from the Oxford journals of Rheumatology studied the effects of individualized homeopathic remedies on fibromyalgia patients. As part of the trial, each participant was given an individually chosen homeopathic liquid daily, based on the recommendation of two experienced homeopaths. The patients were assessed by the number of tender points they had and the associated pain, as well as by the patients own rating of their quality of life, mood and overall health.

What did the study find? After three months, patients receiving homeopathic treatments showed a significant reduction in pain as well as an improved quality of life, health and emotional state. What made this study unique was that it allowed for each participant to receive an individualized remedy for their specific symptoms caused by fibromyalgia.

In practical terms, this means that there is much more to homeopathic therapy than to simply add a few natural supplements to the diet. To make sure that you really experience the benefits of homeopathy, it’s important to find a skilled homeopathic specialist, who can help you to assess your individual health concerns and find the best remedy to fit your needs.
