Here are answers to some of the FAQ’s practitioners get about homeopathy.
And here as a starting point is our Home Remedy Notes which may give you quick answers to doses, frequency, etc. This is a downloadable document so you can refer to at your leisure.
Homeopathy is not the same as naturopathy, nor is it aromatheraphy, reflexology, supplements or herbs.
Homeopathy is a complete system of medicine which stimulates the body to work harder to overcome the symptoms naturally, basically it enhances the body’s own healing mechanism (immune system) to work harder to overcome the current symptoms.
Homeopathic medicines stimulate the system to return balance and with that balance, health. This can happen on the physical level in the case of a cold or sore throat (acute illnesses) or headaches (chronic illness if recurrent), or on the mental/emotional level in the case of stress or mild anxiety, or where a physical problem actually stems from an emotional issue.
Here’s the longer answer to this question.
We’ve always said homeopathy is about physics and not chemistry, and we now know it’s quantum physics we’re looking at.
This puts the action of homeopathy in a whole different ball park to conventional medicine, which is why medical professionals often can’t get to grips with it.
If you try to look at homeopathy like a pharmaeutical medicine or a naturopathic supplement then you are never going to understand the power of it.
Our remedies are made by a process of succussion and dilution. Dilution is the part where many sceptics roll their eyes and declare that homeopathy can’t possibly work because now there’s nothing in it but water! But the succussion (or banging) is the process which releases the energy inherent in the substance – it becomes dynamized or dynamic, it now has a measurable resonant frequency.
When I first started using homeopathy in the mid 1980s, we really didn’t have a concrete idea of how a remedy worked, but modern technology is beginning to identify homeopathic remedies as containing nano particles of the original substance. If you take your remedy to a pharmacist for testing in a laboratory they won’t pick up any physical substance because the remedy has been diluted so many times and the particles are so small. What we need to do – and there are now a couple of ways to do this – is to test the substance for energetic frequency or for nano particles.
Quantum physics has shown that we are working with an energy or resonant frequency – not necessarily a physical substance – and there is still discussion even amongst homeopaths about the mechanics of action. Even though we know the particles are there, they’re pretty minute, so its action within and on the body must be different than the larger doses we use in conventional medicine and supplements.
I find the explanation of our remedies as each having a unique resonant frequency fits with what I see in clinic. The human body is energetic, with a distinct electrical system; homeopathy is energy medicine and can be measured as such on the appropriate equipment. The remedy acts as a stimulus to the immune system to encourage it to bring balance.
By matching the frequency of the remedy to the frequency of the pathogen or negative energy we need to address, we can help negate the symptoms or state.
Homeopathy is often termed “placebo” because of the misunderstanding about what it actually is and how it works (See ‘Why is homeopathy called energy medicine?’ in the FAQs).
There have been enough studies done to show that homeopathy is not placebo, but a low risk, gentle but powerful system of medicine. It has changed peoples’ lives where other forms of medicine have failed to bring benefit, and it works on babies, animals and plants, who are not susceptible to the concept of placebo.
A study undertaken by the NHMRC in Australia in 2014 went out of its way to disprove homeopathy and sadly is still being quoted by sceptics and those who don’t want homeopathy to continue as a modality. The study has been shown to have been a corrupt and flawed process which went out of its way to hide solid homeopathic research by manipulating the data and the criteria. The homeopathic associations in Australia and homeopathic bodies worldwide have come together and are awaiting the outcome of an independent review.
A good place to look for solid science is the website of the Homeopathy Research Institute in the UK.
