How Does Homeopathy Work?

Homeopathy works based on the central principle that “like cures like” – meaning a substance that causes certain symptoms is also capable of removing those symptoms.

Because symptoms are the best way our body can show its efforts in defending itself against infections or stressful conditions, it is thoughtful to utilize remedies/supplements that help mimic this defense system rather than suppressing or inhibiting it. That’s what homeopathy is all about.

What is Homeopathy?

The word “homeopathy” is coined from two Greek words: homeos- meaning “similar,” and pathos- meaning “suffering.” So you can describe homeopathy as a system that works on the “principle of similar.”

The beauty of this principle is that it doesn’t only trigger a healing response, but also encourages a respect for the body’s wisdom. It is based on the use of highly diluted substances, which practitioners confirmed to help the body heal itself.
