If
you believe that the different aspects of your being are interrelated,
that your physical body is not a separate entity from your mental and
emotional self, then what sort of treatment for your ailments would be
appropriate?
It could not be a combination of prescriptions, perhaps one for stomach
acid, another for migraines and yet another for depression.
Instead, you would seek a treatment that addresses your whole being, understanding
that each separate health issue is an expression of the same underlying
vital disturbance.
Homeopathic remedies treat that core mistunement which is unique to each
individual. Instead of prescribing a cream for skin rash, an inhaler for
asthma and another therapy for attention deficit disorder, we find that
substance in nature which produces the same array of symptoms in the patient.
This single remedy, which mirrors the entire state of an individual, has
the capacity to cure at the deepest level.
According to the founder of homeopathy, Samuel Hahnemann: "The highest
ideal of cure is rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of the health."
