Homeopathy 101

If you watch Japanese researcher, Mr. Emoto’s water experiments on YouTube you will get a visual demonstration of how homeopathy works.  His studies show how water “remembers” and retains energy patterns of everything it is exposed to.  Likewise, alcohol used in homeopathic preparations retains the essential energy of the material it is exposed to.

Physicists tell us if you removed all vacant space between the molecules of the human body, the physical matter left could not be seen by the human eye.  The entire human race would be the size of a sugar cube.  Homeopathy treats the subtle energy body by modulating frequency and function.

• Homeopathy was developed in the 1790’s by German physician, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann.
• Homeopathy is based on the principle that “like cures like”. Any substance that can produce symptoms in a healthy person, can cure similar symptoms in a person who is sick.
• The “Law of Similars” was known to Aristotle and Hippocrates.
• A second principle is that of “minimum dose”.  Substances are exposed to successive dilution with agitation until they reach a point where they are therapeutic, but not toxic.
• The higher the dilution the more subtle the energy of a remedy becomes and the deeper it can penetrate the subtle body. 
• Children and pets are very responsive to lower dilutions like 6c because their ailments are “acute” where adults respond to higher dilutions as ailments are often chronic with deeper cellular “memory”.
• Lactose is used in classic homeopathic preparation, so globules are not suitable for anyone with a dairy allergy.
• Globules should be taken 15 minutes before meals and away from coffee and mints such as toothpaste, as they can interfere with the efficacy of the remedy.

“Homeopathy cures a larger percentage of cases than any other method and is beyond all doubt, safer, more economical and the most complete medical science.” Mahatma Gandhi

Classic homeopathy is prepared using lactose.  Though the amount is not significant, globules are not suitable for individuals with dairy allergies.  This is a thumb nail sketch of common remedies and their applications.  For specific modalities see our instore professional reference books.
