Homeopathy is a safe, gentle, natural, and cost-effective system of healing. It is not a new age medicine but has a history of being practiced for over 230 years. The principle of homeopathy was first described in early Greek medical writings but was rediscovered and developed into a systematic form of medicine by German physician Samuel Hahnemann. Hahnemann became disillusioned with the harsh medical treatments of his time and sought to find a gentler form of medicine.
He devoted himself to research and translating scientific texts and came across the homeopathic principle of "like cures like". While many substances are harmful in crude form, Hahnemann set out to give increasingly smaller doses of them and ultimately discovered that a series of dilutions interspersed with intense agitation of the solutions created remedies that were highly effective and completely non-toxic.
In her book Impossible Cure, Amy Lansky writes, "Homeopathy views the body and mind as an integrated dynamic unit rather than as a set of individual parts. This body/mind unit is seen as a physical and energetic system that acts as a whole, responds to stimuli, and changes over time."
But homeopathy can definitely be useful in acute conditions, such as nausea during pregnancy, feelings of disconnection during postpartum, gastro ailments, headaches, trouble sleeping, etc.
I schedule new consultations for 2 hours, though they may take less time. The full time is spent in careful interview, seeking to fully understand a person and his or her health (physical, emotional, & mental) ailments. Very often I will pay attention to a person's preferences and personality, to repeated patterns, and any traumatic and stressful experiences in his or her life. A family history of significant health issues and life experiences is also helpful.
Often, symptoms are meaningful attempts of the body to heal itself or adjust to adverse circumstances. Rather than suppressing symptoms, a properly selected homeopathic remedy functions as an energetic stimulus that enables the body to heal itself.
A commitment to homeopathic treatment is important, as healing can take time, especially for conditions that have gone on for a long time or have been suppressed with pharmaceuticals. Sometimes, a layered homeopathic remedy approach is needed.
Homeopathy consultations for children under 18 require a parent or guardian to be present or within reasonable distance so that they can come onto camera during a video consult. For a young child, most of the consultation can be done by interviewing a parent. When a child is old enough to explain feelings and experiences, most of the consult can be done with the child. If you wish to have a consultation for yourself + your child, please schedule these separately or include in the notes when requesting an appointment that you would like to have back-to-back appointments so that I can block appropriate time.
Spouses may complete initial and follow-up consultations together when the consultation is for fertility.
Homeopathic remedies are made from highly diluted preparations of a wide variety of sources such as plants, minerals, or animal components (for example, an animal's milk) that are shaken vigorously in a process called "potentization". Because of the extreme level of dilution, most finished remedies contain no measurable molecules of the original substance. Rather, homeopathic remedies take on the energetics or frequency of the original substance. One dose of a remedy is only a couple of drops under the tongue.
I distribute remedies in 2 options:
Organic, Biodynamic brandy (from grapes) grown in California + spring water
or
Alcohol-free option of vegetable glycerin + spring water
