I match patterns that go with the person’s expression of symptoms, rather than against it. An individual’s illness pattern has a corresponding match with a substance in nature that is used to make a remedy. When brought together, the remedy boosts the intelligent healing capacity of the person’s life force.
Minimal dose
When there is a physiological-energetic resonance between an individual’s pattern and a remedy’s pattern, then the least amount of remedy is the most potent. Highly diluted homeopathic preparations, in the smallest dose necessary, are used to initiate a healing response.
Individualized care
A person is like a field, not just a single flower. I take into account the entirety of what is occurring, not just one symptom. All symptoms are meaningful and important. I then find one remedy that best matches the wholeness of the pattern of symptoms. Homeopathy is holistic in the truest sense of the word.
Symptoms are the language of disease – the body’s attempt to balance itself. Without symptoms, a person could have a potentially life threatening illness with no way of identifying it.
Many conventional drugs try to inhibit and suppress symptoms – sometimes leading to more serious illness in the process.
Homeopathy does not seek to remove or suppress symptoms: rather, it removes the underlying cause of the symptoms. This is why a homeopath will work toward understanding the whole person – including their body, mind and emotional state – before recommending a remedy.
Homeopathic remedies cost an average $10 to $12 for a bottle that contains multiple doses. Sometimes only a single dose of a remedy is needed to help the body restore health. Remedies have an extended shelf life and each may be used for several different conditions.
Homeopathic remedies are considered inherently safe, are FDA regulated, non-drowsy, non habit-forming, and non-toxic. The remedies also have no known side effects and no known drug interactions.
No. Millions of people have used homeopathy to address their health issues, and are very satisfied that it has worked for them. Many, many studies demonstrate the efficacy of homeopathy on a variety of health issues. You don’t have to believe in homeopathy for it to work. Homeopathy works for everyone - little kids, newborns, the elderly, animals, and even plants.

The nature of your condition and the length of time that you have been experiencing symptoms are important factors, but as a guideline you would typically expect to see a homeopath every 6 to 8 weeks for 3 visits to begin with. As your health improves, the length between consultations may lengthen.
