What
In The World Is Homeopathy?
Illness,
Balance and Health
To
a homeopath, illness is an energy imbalance that occurs first at
the most fundamental levels of the person. This underlying imbalance
is the cause of disease and shows itself eventually in the body
as symptoms, which are created by the body in the process of trying
to correct the imbalance. It is the imbalance itself that homeopathy
addresses, using the symptoms as a guide to the natural substance
that can be of assistance in the process.
If
you are in perfect balance, which is unusual, you will not develop
any symptoms. If you are totally healthy, you are free of pain and
physical symptoms, have plenty of energy, think clearly, experience
happiness and a passion for life, and genuinely care about others.
You are free to be yourself and to express your creativity.
Homeopathy
attempts to bring each individual to the highest level of health
possible on the physical, mental, and emotional levels. Samuel Hahnemann
affirmed, “The highest ideal of cure is to restore health rapidly,
gently, permanently... in the shortest, surest, least harmful way
according to clearly comprehensible principles...”
You
may have felt healthier, happier, and more energetic at some earlier
time in your life. You may believe that you’re just getting old
and that good health is no longer possible for you. Homeopathy can
often restore your health and vitality beyond your expectations.
