What is Homeopathy?
-
Holistic
- Homeopathy is a natural, gentle, and profound healing method that considers the entire human being and not only ill parts of the body.
-
Unique
- The person is the focus of the treatment. From an elaborate number of homeopathic remedies the best suitable is chosen for each individual.
-
Compliant
- Most homeopathic remedies are made from plants – but also from metals, minerals, products of animals and other components. These are precursors for the production of more than 2000 healing substances used in homeopathic remedies. The remedies are free of undesired side effects and do not interact with pharmaceutical medications.
-
Profound
- Homeopathy was founded by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann and established 200 years ago. It is underlined by the basic principle: «Similia similibus curentur», which means: «Similar is cured by similar». A remedy has only the power to cure those symptoms of an illness which it produces in a healthy person during the testing of the remedy. The principle «Similar is cured by similar» is a law of nature. For example, the homeopathic remedy Coffea (a product of the coffee bean) reveals in a healthy person nervousness, trembling, sleeplessness and crankiness. If it is introduced to a patient with similar symptoms, then it will bring him back to calmness and stability.
-
Comprehensive
- The Homeopath considers available medical diagnosis. Diseases which have occured to relatives are integrated in the homeopathic case taking. Collaboration with professionals of academic medicine and alternative, therapeutic occupations is possible. Homeopathy can also be applied to support the patient during a long-term academic medical treatment. It has proven its value before and after surgery: in particular homeopathy activates and boosts the healing process.
Who benefits from Homeopathic care?
Homeopathy boosts the life force of the patient. It is suited for people with a diagnosed illness and also for those who have symptoms which cannot be attributed to specific diseases. Homeopathy suits people of any age and in any circumstances or stages of life. The treatment is especially suitable for babies, children and pregnant woman since the homeopathic remedies are non-poisonous. Homeopathy can be applied for physical, mental and emotional problems and diseases.
When is Homeopathy at its limit?
-
When surgery is unavoidable
- E.g. in case of a severe accident, extremely large gallstone and tumors, caesarean, tooth extraction, implantation and amputation. In such cases, homeopathy is applied before and after the operation to support the healing process.
-
When cells of non-regenerative organs are destroyed
- E.g. in case of diabetes mellitus type I, homeopathy cannot substitute the cells that produce insulin, nor the insulin itself. In such a case, homeopathy is applied as a supportive therapy.
-
When assistance, care and surveillance are lacking
- E.g. in cases of serious psychic diseases, advanced cancer or after severe injuries, it is a healing impediment when assistance, care and surveillance are lacking. In such cases, homeopathy is helpful for the patient in interdisciplinary co-operation of the care team.
-
In terminal stages of diseases
- In such cases, homeopathy is applied as palliative therapy. The inner, subjective well-being of the patient has priority. Mental and emotional processes during the last phase of life are gently endorsed and physical pain soothed.
When to apply Homeopathy?
When physical, mental and emotional disorders are present, when the disorders are acute or in a chronic state. This can be anything from an acute cold all the way to a rheumatic disease. Here are some examples:
Impaired immune system
Allergies, hay fever
Recurrent cold, chronic sinusitis
Obstipation, flatulence
Recurring cystitis
Headaches
Lack of concentration
Depression
Fears, social inhibition
Over or underweight

etc.
