What do symptoms have to do with healing?  Aren’t you busy enough that they’re just simply in the way?

There are many businesses and industries that would have you believe this.  They make a lot of money from offering you drugs that suppress or mask your symptoms for the sake of not inconveniencing your life.  You can carry on and just take that pill, or pills, and continue on...until you need another pill to deal with the side effects from those pills.  So long as the drugs and symptoms don’t interfere with the convenience of your life, it continues on and on, with more and more drugs being added.

Yet, your symptoms are your body’s natural feedback loop that tell you something is wrong in the body.  The symptoms are not the problem.  We need to look deeper than that for true healing.

Your body has a natural healing ability.  Take, for example, a cut on your finger.  Over time, it will heal itself.  There is relatively little you need to do to help it.  Such a healing intelligence not only occurs on the physical level, but also on the mental and emotional levels of who we are, as well.  This natural tendency of the body/mind/emotions to heal is referred to, in homeopathy, as the Vital Force.

The Vital Force is a non-physical, in-animate, healing intelligence.  So far, modern science has yet to measure where or how it works.  Much of the scrutiny homeopathy receives resides in this feature.  I don’t get too hung up on that, though.  Can scientific instruments measure how much you love something or someone?  Physical instruments can measure what physical parts of the brain are involved when someone loves, but the experience itself cannot be quantified or measured.  Such mysteries open up our minds and our hearts to the workings of the universe that cannot be explained, yet remain completely relevant to our life.

In homeopathy, disease originates as a mis-tunement of the Vital Force.  This is in energetic terms, not in biochemical pathways or physiological processes.  Such an energetic disturbance manifests its effects as the physiological/biochemical symptoms that we all experience.  The symptoms can be mental or emotional or physical, or more commonly - all at the same time.  More specifically, this is when we have allergies, or cultivate addictions, or have chronic physical pains, or feel emotionally unstable or depressed, etc.

Because disease originates pre-physically, our symptoms are meant to be worked with, rather than against.  Suppressing them or masking them only makes the Vital Force express the mis-tunement in a different way.  This is one reason why drugs have so many side effects.  Not only is the drug toxic and thus creates several adverse reactions in the body, but it also prevents the Vital Force from expressing the natural disease of the individual.  The mis-tunement of the Vital Force has to go somewhere.  Typically, the natural, pre-physical disease of the person worsens as a result of suppressed symptoms.  Perhaps this could be one of the reasons why, despite great advances in technology, our state of health has declined, new deadly viruses continue to spring up, and cancer rates have increased.

To summarize, in our culture we’ve been miseducated about the role of symptoms. Rather than suppress them, they are meant to be worked with.  Symptoms are the end result of an inner, energetic mis-tunement of the Vital Force. When we understand the true nature of symptoms, we can better rely upon methods of healing, like homeopathy, that honor them and seek to strengthen the Vital Force’s ability to help heal ourselves.

In my practice, I’m ready to work with you and your unique, individual totality of symptoms.  No matter your disease, condition, or illness, homeopathy can help you.  Contact me today to get started.

In great health and healing,

I get this question a lot.  "Is that kind of like herbs?"  My best answer for this is yes and no.  Not too helpful, huh?

Homeopathy is a healing art and medical science that addresses one's mental, emotional, and physical well being - all in one fell swoop!  As a homeopathic practitioner, I seek to understand your general and specific complaints to help you get better, from the inside-out.  A full inventory of symptoms is gathered at your consultation.  The first consultation can take a good 2-3 hours!  We're very interested in you.

After a full analysis is given to all of the symptoms, a homeopthic remedy is given that will seek to initiate your individual, and inherent, healing response.

Remedies are made at specially regulated FDA pharmacies and are  made mostly from simple mineral and plant substances.  So, in a way they are herbs, but they are prepared differently so that they initiate healing on all of those levels I mentioned earlier, all at the same time.  Over time, symptoms just go away!   This is true holistic healing!

Come see what it's all about.  Contact me for further information and to schedule your own consultation.

Thanks for your time and be well!
