What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a therapeutic method that uses natural substances to relieve a variety of symptoms. Homeopathy operates on a “like cures like” principle that has been used for more than 200 years and continues to be confirmed in pharmacological research and clinical studies.

An example of how homeopathic medicines work is the similarity of symptoms between allergies and chopping onions. When you cut into an onion, your nose runs. If similar symptoms appear after contact with pollen or a pet, the homeopathic medicine most appropriate to treat these symptoms is made from a tiny amount of onion. Instead of masking symptoms, the medicine sends the body a signal to help it rebalance and heal.

The active ingredients in homeopathic medicines are made from diluted extracts of plants, animals, minerals, or other raw substances found in nature.

Similar to other over-the-counter medicines, homeopathic medicines can be used to relieve a wide variety of common health conditions such as allergies, coughs, colds, flu, stress, arthritis pain, muscle pain, and teething.

Homeopathy has been used for more than 200 years, building a remarkable safety record. Homeopathic medicines do not mask symptoms, are not contraindicated with pre-existing conditions, and are not known to interact with other medications or supplements, making them one of the safest choices for self-treatment.
