Homeopathy has been used for centuries.  Learn more about homeopathy and are homeopathic remedies for you.

Homeopathy comes from two Greek words. "Homoios" means similar, and "pathos" means disease or suffering. It is based on the law of "likes cure likes" and has been practiced officially since 1789. Homeopathic products are natural and derived from plant, animal, and mineral sources. They use a very dilute dose (called a homeopathic dose) to effect a cure. An example of homeopathic medicine is when people take a homeopathic dose of poison ivy plant to treat their allergic reaction to poison ivy.

Homeopathy has been practiced for thousands of years and is used globally. Homeopathy is a promising avenue to explore if you are looking for an all-natural remedy.

Is Homeopathy Safe?

Homeopathic products are usually safe. They are very dilute and rarely produce side effects or drug interactions. They stimulate the body's healing mechanisms, making them an excellent choice for mothers, children, adults, and animals.

Homeopathic products can be used with other drugs. However, a homeopathic practitioner should be consulted before combining them with conventional Western medicines, as some interactions have been described. Talk with your integrative practitioner before combining medications.

What is Antidoting?

Some strong odors, such as camphor, coffee, and mint, are antidotes that render homeopathic products ineffective. The best way to avoid antidoting is to re-administer the remedy and prevent exposure to the offending odor if you notice a return of your symptoms after exposure to a strong odor. Also, mention this to your doctor if you are using homeopathic products under the supervision of an integrative practitioner.
