Healing all of you with homeopathy – Holistic medicine
All of you!
Most of the patients that I see in my daily practice contact me for help with depression, anxiety, or other mood disorders for themselves or their child.The area of mental health has been of particular interest to me during my fifteen years of practicing homeopathy. The reason for being drawn to this area of health is the limited treatment options found for these patients in the conventional medical field. Aside from psychotherapy, drugs such as antidepressants and anti anxiety medications are really what is available and frequently prescribed for those who struggle with depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, ADHD and more…
Although antidepressants of today have fewer side effects than their predecessors, there is still a long list of them to be quite concerned about. For a great number of people, taking chemical medications to help deal with their own, or their child’s emotional challenges is just not an option. Many seek out natural and chemical free treatment alternatives – such as homeopathy.
In my experience, the majority of those who contact me for homeopathic treatment for emotional problems are dealing with additional health problems as well. Some examples are:
- Allergies
- Eczema and other skin issues
- Asthma
- Hormonal issues
- Migraines
- Sleep problems
- Sexual disfunction
- Autoimmune disorders
These are just a few of a wide range of commonly presenting health problems seen in a large number of people. When you see a homeopath, you can expect to be asked about ALL the health problems you are having at the moment, and not just one separate issue. Homeopathic medicine aims to treat the root imbalance and not just the isolated part. Whether you have one health problem or five – homeopathy address all of your symptoms using one homeopathic remedy – holistic medicine at it’s finest.
Treating it all
Think of homeopathic treatment as the core fundament you are building your house upon. If your structure is not built on a solid and stable fundament, the parts added during the building process may crumble and fall, or leave your house with cracks and future issues that needs fixing and patching.
We certainly need conventional health care and the important part it plays in improving and saving peoples lives each and every day. It does have it’s shortcomings however. Conventional medicine focus is on treating the part of the body that is sick (mental and physical). If a person has more than one diagnosis that requires treatment, different medicines are given for the different diagnosis, often leading to the person taking multiple medications that often act to only suppress and band-aid the symptoms temporarily, without true healing happening. In addition, the medicines often cause unwanted side-effects as well as concern for potentially dangerous drug interaction.
Homeopathy takes a whole different approach to looking at and treating health. It takes into consideration each and every one of your body systems (nervous system, hormonal system, digestive system etc.), as they are not separate but intrinsically connected. Homeopathy considers all the symptom you are experiencing, whether physical or emotional. It wants to know about your personality, your outlook on life, how you experience your pain and discomfort, your likes and dislikes etc. The very first consultation with a homeopath takes about 1,5-2 hours. The time is spent on mapping out what is unique about you in order to find the one individualized homeopathic medicine that will facilitate healing on all levels, and leave you with a strengthened and healthy core fundament. When your core fundament is healthy an vibrant; all your parts improve as a result.
An added bonus of using homeopathy to address all your health issues using one specially tailored medicine, is that it is natural, effective, gentle, and free of side effects. Homeopathy is safe for babies, pregnant and nursing women. In fact, a large portion of my patients are women who are either pregnant or nursing and are suffering with pre- and postnatal depression and anxiety. They can safely take the prescribed homeopathic medicine without worrying if it will have a negative affect on their unborn or nursing baby.
