Are you confused regarding homeopathy? Over the last few years in particular, there has been a lot of doubt cast on the efficacy and validity of homoeopathic medicine driven by mainstream media, particular individuals, political influences, as well the pharmaceutical companies. Like many things in life, homeopathy is a complex system of medicine that takes some understanding as to how and why it has grown into such a significant system of medicine spanning over the 19th, 20th & 21st century. In this blog post we will touch on a few of these aspects.
A Holistic Approach Allows For Individualised Treatment
One of the strengths of homoeopathic medicine is that it approaches illness, disease and healing in a holistic way. The very basis of its philosophy and practice revolves around a deep understanding of the person from a holistic perspective. This means, for example, case of irritable bowel syndrome is seen as part of a bigger picture, one that may include someone’s emotional state, other illness the person may have and their medical history. The medicine prescribed will address, or take into account, all of these factors.
This is why 10 people with the same medical condition, might each receive a completely different homoeopathic medicine. There are not just one or two medicines for IBS – it could be one of many, depending on the bigger picture. This is why it is such an individualized system of medicine compared to allopathic medicine, which is based on more general approaches. It’s important to remember though; at times it is appropriate just to treat the symptoms to bring immediate relief. There are times that a homeopath will focus less on the holistic picture and more on the acute symptoms. If you have a severe migraine for example, medicine is prescribed quickly to help bring fast relief and once that has happened, a more holistic approach is taken.
As a Complete System of Medicine
Although not a medical doctor, homeopathic treatment from our Sydney clinic will take into account your medical history, as this is part of the holistic approach. We will work together alongside other health professionals to help ensure that you receive the very best treatment possible. If it is appropriate, we take into account your emotional state as well. For example, someone who is always stressed, irritable and angry will need medicines that are going to help calm the nervous system, even if we are treating say, irritable bowel syndrome.
The homeopathic approach looks at your health in two ways - first the specific problem you are seeking help for and then taking a step back and looking at your overall health - a holistic approach.
Cost of Homeopathic Treatment
Generally speaking, the cost of producing homoeopathic medicine is much less that producing pharmaceuticals and this is a great advantage as a system of medicine, making it potentially more readily available. Consultation fees vary a lot from country to country and like many things, the more you pay, the more likely you are to receive better and more thorough treatment and health care.
The Homeopath practitioner in our Sydney clinic places great emphasis on treating you in a thorough and caring manner, providing top level natural health care at reasonable rates. We want your experience with homoeopathy to be a helpful and beneficial and we treat all of clients with respect and compassion.
