Homeopathy is safe. Homeopathy is gentle. Homeopathy is for everyone.
Homeopathy, or the idea before it had a name, was being discussed as early as the fifth century BC. Hippocrates known as “ the father of Medicine,” wrote that there were two methods of
healing: by contraries and similars. Later, Parecelcus a German doctor who was unconventional for his time, saw the earth as a great chemical laboratory. He is called “the father of Chemistry.”

Paracelsus believed in the harmony of the whole universe. He turned to German Folk medicine, which believed in “like curing like.”
It is said that Samuel Hahnnemann, the founder of Homeopathy, had based his ideas on the ideas brought forth by Parecelcus. While there is no proof of this, Hannahmann introduced
Homeopathy with the first “law of similars.“ I encourage anyone truly interested in Homeopathy, to read more on the history as it’s an example of genius and ethics of practice.
In a nutshell, homeopathy is scientific method of medicine based on several laws of nature. The first law: like cures like, or the law of similars.
A homeopathic remedy is an almost infinitesimally small dose of a substance. Over two thousand substances are now used as homeopathic remedies to treat everything from colds and teething in babies, to Arthritis and chronic illness’s. Homeopathy is nano science, and is energetic medicine. In the same way that acupuncture speaks of CHI, it is what
homeopathy refers to as the vital force.
Example: if you have a cold or hay fever that is presenting the symptoms of watering eyes, and burning sensation in the nose, a dose or two of Homeopathic onion (Allium Cepa), will bring you relief quickly. “Like cures Like.”
Why choose homeopathy?
1) You can begin taking a homeopathic prescription without a diagnosis. Homeopathic prescriptions are prescribed based on the person’s symptoms. We don’t have to have
the name of a disease. This is especially important as new or exotic diseases arise.
2) Homeopathic medicines are affordable. Homeopathic remedies are incredibly safe, and free of chemical side effects.
3) When antibiotics fail, homeopathic remedies will still work. Homeopathic remedies don’t directly kill germs, but rather they stimulate the vital force to help support your immune system to do the healing. People who are allergic to antibiotics or other drugs, can still use
homeopathic remedies.
Robin's Wellness Note

Something that I tell my clients, is that you can be on your conventional meds, and still be treated with homeopathy. While many people choose homeopathy as their main healing modality, it’s not an either or. I have seen amazing results with Homeopathy, negating the need for conventional treatment in many cases. Homeopathy is an elegant art and a science, that has been helping people acutely and in emergencies as well as in chronic conditions, for hundreds of years. Homeopathy is for everyone.
