As an art, it requires the homeopath to see the uniqueness of each person. As a science, homeopathy relies on the methods and principles formulated by Samuel Hahnemann, the brilliant German physician of the 18th century. Hahnemann based his new science of Homeopathy on this principle. All symptoms observed during these tests are recorded in the extensive homeopathic Materia Medica. Homeopathic remedies are prepared from diluted natural substances including plants, animal materials, minerals and metals.
All homeopathic remedies are non-toxic.
Health can be seen as the ability to adapt to the changing circumstances of life. The homeopathic practitioner researches the functions of mind and body to skillfully select remedies that assist in this natural process. A correctly chosen homeopathic remedy can achieve a level of personal integration which may greatly improve one's quality of life.
