Basic Principles of Homeopathy
Like cures like OR Let Likes be treated by Likes: Substances that produce symptoms when given in large doses can clear up those symptoms curing disease when the substances are given in micro-doses.
Symptoms indicate healing: Symptoms represent the body’s effort to heal itself as described earlier. Therefore, symptoms are stimulated to complete the curative process.
Homeopathic remedies are based on "provings": Medicinal substances are given to healthy people in small doses to assess how the substances influence their physiology. These “provings” continue until the healing potential of the substance is revealed.
The totality of the symptoms is considered: Your complete symptom profile is taken into account, including mental, emotional, and physical aspects.
A single remedy is given: One homeopathic medicine is chosen most of the times to perfectly match the totality of your symptoms.
A minimum of doses is given: Only a small stimulus is needed to stimulate your innate healing powers.
The homeopathic remedies are micro-doses: Homeopathic medicines are processed (“potentised”) to minute dosages in which there may be no remaining physical trace of the original substance.
