What In The World Is Homeopathy?
Casey
A mother brought in her 10 year old son Casey for help with his excessive worrying, particularly about the family finances. He was also afraid that something bad would happen to his mother and she might die. This fear had begun right after he got his neck caught in the window of the car for a minute as his mother was rolling it up. It was the panic which Casey experienced so briefly that triggered a prolonged state of fear and anxiety. This child was given homeopathic Aconitum napellus, and his fear was relieved.

Dynamic Healing Through Homeopathy
The simillimum catalyzes a dynamic process of healing. In acute illnesses, your symptoms may disappear within minutes or hours. For example, a boy awakens screaming in pain in the middle of the night with a fever of 103 degrees, complaining of terrible pain in his right ear. The parents desperately want to relieve their son’s discomfort. If the rest of his symptoms fit the homeopathic remedy, Belladonna (deadly nightshade), he will usually fall right asleep and wake up the next morning as if nothing had happened. The parents are often surprised at how rapidly the healing occurs.

In chronic illnesses, the recovery may take longer. A patient with longstanding migraines may find that her headaches become less frequent and milder within a week or two of beginning homeopathic treatment, but they may not go away completely for one or more months. Patients suffering from severe arthritis or multiple sclerosis may find some relief very quickly, but the healing will continue to occur over months or years until their symptoms and overall well-being are stabilized and significantly improved.

Homeopathy can also produce dynamic changes on the mental and emotional levels. A woman who has held in her anger and humiliation from being a victim of incest as a child may find, with homeopathic treatment, that she is finally able to express her rage in a healthy way. A man who has experienced panic attacks so severe that he cannot shop in the supermarket, can, with homeopathy, often regain his peace of mind and once again lead a normal life. Even deep mental and emotional imbalances such as depression, attention deficit disorder, extreme jealousy, and compulsive handwashing, frequently respond very well to homeopathy.

If the simillimum is found, cure will result even if your symptoms have persisted for a number of years. Homeopathy taps the inherent power of the vital force within each person to bring about healing and lasting change. Discovering the correct remedy is like finding just the right key for a lock. Even if the door has been closed for years, once the key is found, it opens. Patients and homeopaths alike are continually amazed at the power of homeopathic medicines.
