What is Homeopathy?

The word “homeopathy” first appeared in print at the end of the 1800s but the idea of homeopathy goes back almost 2500 years.  Hippocrates (a Greek physician and originator of the Hippocratic Oath, now known as the father of Western Medicine) laid the groundwork for its use. He suggested that medicine divided into two major categories:  antipathic medicine (cure using the principle of contraries or opposite sensations) and homeopathic medicine (cure using the principle of similarities.)

In other words, antipathy uses various treatments that are directly opposing the source of illness.  For example laxatives are used for constipation, substances with anti-inflammatory properties are used for inflammation, and antacids are used for acidic stomachs.

Homeopathy uses minute amounts of substances that cause similar sufferings to produce a curing effect.  For example, people with hay fever might use onion to encourage the nose to work since the fumes from the onion could naturally make people cry. 

There are two basic principles in homeopathy in addition to the one just discussed, 'like cures like.'  First is the principle of minimal dose.  The more diluted a substance is, the more likely it is to be of help.  This means that the more you dilute a potion, the more potent it becomes.  The most powerful homeopathic medicines have the highest dilution factors.

This dilution principle has proven to be the Achilles heel for its detractors.  Homeopathic remedies go through a process of infinitesimal dilutions. Critics believe if you keep diluting a solution further and further, there won't be any of the original material left.  Relying on the principles of modern allopathic medicine (which measures dose-related responses to medications) skeptics ask how a 'drug' without any active substance can evoke a therapeutic response.

But recent studies have proven that, even though the original substance can be diluted to a tiny fraction of what it once was, it can never totally disappear.  Thus the energy signature of the original substance still remains.  As a matter of fact, the more diluted, the more quantum the particle may become.  And as energy practitioners well know, quantum particles can exhibit very powerful healing qualities.

The second principle is that of single remedy. This means that if numerous symptoms are present, one must find the remedy that produces all the features of the natural disease, after which all symptoms share in that treatment.

In summary, homeopathy is a matter of mastering the art of curing using similar sensations and in choosing the best remedy as specified by the symptoms.  But unlike other medical modalities, homeopathy is less expensive and much less risky.

Why Does Homeopathy Work?

The Zero Point Field Theory says the space between us is not empty but, in fact, chock full of energy.  Well known physicist Richard Feynman once quantified its power when he said:  "The Energy in a single cubic meter of space is enough to boil all the oceans of the world!”

Not only is energy extremely potent but there are several forms of energy, most being invisible to the naked eye... for example: microwave energy, electricity, light waves, radio waves, sound waves, magnetic impulses, atomic & nuclear energy.  And most were once considered impossible to believe. 

So what other forms of energy might we not be aware of yet?  Science says that there is no biological difference between a live person and a dead person within moments after death.  All the organs and systems are exactly the same.  The only difference is that the life force energy has left.

The truth is, we are not just a physical body.  Quantum physics has proven that energy is within, around & attached to the body and the ability of this energy to flow freely in balance is what makes us healthy beings.  Scientists now know that the physical body does not produce this energy.  They believe it’s the other way around.  Our energy selves create and hold in place the physical body possibly as a means to navigate our 3-dimentional world.  So when we die, it’s really our energy-self letting go of the physical body in the same way one might dispose of a used car or article of clothing.

Following this line of thought, this also means that disease and genetic abnormalities must first manifest energetically before they can manifest physically.  So what does all this have to do with homeopathy?

Homeopathy is primarily an energy medicine.  We know that the universe is made up of constantly vibrating frequencies and nothing is really solid on the subatomic level.  Everything (everyone) is actually a vibrating mass of particles and waves that come together in a specific pattern.  

So if there is a hole or abnormality in our energetic pattern, it will manifest in our physical reality.  If not corrected, it will continue the damage over time as our energy selves forever attempt to attract what we need to make us whole. 

Homeopathics carry the energy signature of their source component.  The key is to find and replace the missing energy signature in our energy field with the right homeopathic frequency thereby plugging the hole in our energy self and reducing the undesired spillover into the physical.    

A skilled homeopath is like a detective who gains clues through careful observation of the symptoms.  Once the key symptom is found, that ‘puzzle piece’ is treated allowing all the other puzzle pieces to fit in around it.  It’s like finding the master key that unlocks all doors.  All the surrounding symptoms also clear up because, without the negative energy pattern holding things in place, the body intuitively heals.

So work on the physical level to promote healing but know that you may hit a virtual brick wall if a damaged energy pattern exists.  When you reach that point where nothing is working, you may want to consider homeopathy to zero in on the root cause and help change the unwanted pattern.
