This page describes the conditions we treat and what happens after you set up an appointment. Our services include:
Homeopathy balances the energy of the body to alleviate symptoms and bring about permanent cure.
We begin with an in-depth consultation to ensure that we fully understand you and your health problems. After careful analysis, a homeopathic remedy is suggested for you. Approximately four weeks after taking the remedy, a follow-up visit is scheduled to review your response and see if another dose is required.
Below is a list of the types of conditions we typically treat. See Conditions for more information on how Homeopathy can help in specific illnesses.
Chronic Illness
Chronic (constitutional) treatment focuses on boosting the body’s immunity and overall health. It is the best prevention against becoming ill. By focusing on the whole person—mental, emotional and physical—the constitutional remedy strengthens a person’s vitality and reduces their susceptibility to illness.
- asthma
- allergies
- eczema, seborrhea, psoriasis, acne
- recurrent infections: ear, sinus, throat, respiratory, urinary tract
- kidney stones
- symptoms associated with the menses
- symptoms brought on by menopause
- depression and anxiety
- behavioral disorders: ADD, hyperactivity, aggression, obsessive compulsiveness
Acute Illness
Bellis Perennis is often used to relieve pain after surgical procedures.
The excessive use of antibiotics has led to more virulent strains of pathogens and more resistance to treatment, requiring stronger drugs with potentially harmful effects. The overuse of conventional drugs to treat common acute illnesses is also contributing to the rise in chronic disease because these drugs suppress the body’s ability to heal itself. Homeopathic acute treatment often replaces the need for antibiotics and other drugs in treating many common illnesses and can restore health without adverse side effects:
- ear infections
- headaches
- back pain
- sore throats
- nausea
- vomiting
- toothaches
- sinus infections
- diarrhea
- teething discomfort
- respiratory infections
- food poisoning
- gum inflammation
- colds and influenza
- gastritis
- panic attacks
An acute homeopathic remedy can also be helpful to support emotional healing when you’ve experienced trauma such as a death in the family, a relationship breakup, loss of job, car accident, bullying at school, etc.
First Aid
Homeopathic first aid remedies can help to speed recovery and alleviate the pain associated with common injuries such as:
Apis, the honey bee, is a remedy for redness, swelling, and inflammation.
- cuts and lacerations
- bruises
- surgery
- smashed fingers and toes
- sprained ankles
- minor burns
- broken bones
- pulled tendons
- animal bites
- blows to the body or head
- dislocated joints
- insect stings
For severe injuries or in life-threatening situations, you should seek immediate treatment from your medical doctor or the emergency room.
Pediatric Treatment
The overuse of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids and vaccinations can cause serious problems later in life because they prevent the strengthening of the child’s healing mechanisms. Children respond especially well to homeopathic treatment because they have not endured years of suppressive treatments and the stressors in most adult lives today. Typically their defense mechanisms are in great working order. Some common childhood illnesses that can be successfully treated homeopathically include:
- recurrent infections of all kinds: ear, throat, respiratory
- frequent colds
- asthma
- skin conditions: eczema, impetigo, acne
- constipation, diarrhea
- teething discomfort
- behavioral problems: ADD, hyperactivity, aggression, violent outbursts
- depression and anxiety
The risks associated with childhood vaccinations have become a concern to many health care providers and parents. These web sites provide information to help you decide about vaccinations for your child as well as alternative treatments for common childhood illnesses:
