Homeopathy: A Mind Body Medicine

The role of homeopathy in mind-body wellness

A lot of questions crop up when I talk about homeopathy as an incredible treatment option for pretty much all kinds of symptoms, disorders and diseases - whether physical, mental or emotional. What is it exactly? How does it work?

The easiest way to explain what homeopathy is and how homeopathy works is by saying that it is a mind-body medicine that is completely natural. It inherently recognizes that the body is one system - that the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual are interconnected and thus have impact on each other. It recognizes that our bodies were created with an underlying intelligence or energy that brings balance, health and vitality.
In some cultures you might hear this called qi or prana. 

Sometimes, for those of us in western cultures, this might sound odd because we have adapted a view of the world that is purely physical or chemical or biological. But this perspective is extremely limited and prevents us from understanding the body and our innate ability to heal.

As a Christian, I believe that God created our bodies with an incredible intelligence. He also created the world around us with the ability to provide what we need to heal if we get into a state of dis-ease or imbalance. 

When we recognize the value of the things around us for healing and the whole-ness of the body's systems (mind, body, spirit), we allow for deeper healing to happen because we work with the body and it's innate intelligence rather than against it (by suppressing our symptoms or chemically forcing things to happen in our body when it's not ready or able to).

Homeopathy works with the body's natural intelligence to bring about healing by bringing about harmony and rest in every sphere. When you achieve mental, emotional and physical harmony the body is primed for health. When one area is out of balance (from mental, physical or emotional stress) this upsets the rest of the body and symptoms show up in other areas. 

Moving into a holistic mindset about health is more common today than in the past. We recognize that our mental and emotional health impacts our physical health and so we are more willing to participate in mindfulness, meditation and seek out counselling. However, sometimes something more is needed to bring relief to imbalances in our mental, emotional or physical state - this is where homeopathy plays an incredible role. It is capable of providing that bit of extra stimulus to support our body's natural intelligence and gently direct that intelligence to overcome disease and eliminate symptoms. It works powerfully to bring healing and balance on every level - emotional, physical and mental. Not many medicines I know of can claim to do that (especially without side effects!).

Because homeopathy is holistic, natural and gentle, it truly is an incredible option for every individual - baby, child, pregnant woman, older adult. It is truly restorative. It is truly healing. Try homeopathy today!
