Homeopathy is a pharmaceutical science that uses the body's natural ability to heal itself.  Homeopathic medicines use very small doses of an active ingredient (plant, animal or mineral) to stimulate the body's natural defenses to heal itself.  Homeopathic medicines work naturally within the body and have no known side effects. 

The science of homeopathy was discovered by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in 19th century Germany. Using himself and others to test medicines, he found hundreds of natural compounds, which in minute doses would stimulate the body to resist various diseases and actually heal itself. 

Today homeopathy is used around the world.  It is widely accepted throughout Europe, Great Britain, Australia, South America and the former USSR.  In England there are exclusively homeopathic hospitals. In France, every pharmacy dispenses homeopathic medicines and nearly half of the family physicians practice homeopathic medicine.

In homeopathy, symptoms are viewed as the body's natural defense system at work. Fever is the body's attempt to kill bacteria by raising the body's temperature to one that the bacteria cannot survive at. Homeopathics increase the effectiveness of the body’s defense system. The body works harder to clear the invader and health is returned more quickly. 

The manufacture and sale of homeopathic medicine is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States and by the Health Protection Branch (HPB) in Canada.

Homeopathy in it's beginning was based on experimentation and provings (research studies); this research continues today and several publications point to the demonstration of biological activity of ultra low doses (1991 University of Bordeaux, France; Professor Bonavida, UCLA; Jennifer Jacobs, M.D. 1994 published report).  Unfamiliar to much of the scientific community, the use of extremely small doses has progressively been researched with each study marking significant steps in the use and effectiveness of small doses.

Homeopathy has been shown to be safe and effective and is a great tool for achieving optimal health. Let our trained homoepaths help to find the best remedy for you.
