What is Homeopathy?

If conventional medicine has not given you the relief you need from your health concerns, you have another choice. Homeopathy uses the principle of “like cures like” to administer treatments that signal the body to heal itself. If you have chronic health issues that conventional medicine has not effectively treated, homeopathic medicine may be the answer you have searched for. 

What is Homeopathy?

The concept of similia similibus curentur (“like cures like”) means that while a large dose of something might cause specific symptoms, a tiny amount of that substance can treat the same symptoms. While medications prescribed by a traditional medical practitioner can have unpleasant side effects, homeopathy uses doses too small to have any harmful effects. Instead of working against your body to push symptoms into the background, homeopathy gives your body the trigger to move closer to a state of health and balance. 

Naturopathic physicians like Dr. Cutler use homeopathy as part of a holistic wellness plan. Homeopathic treatments can benefit many people in their journey to health, and unlike traditional medicines, they will not cause side effects or adverse reactions. 

What Can Homeopathic Medicine Treat?

Homeopathic medicine treats a wide range of health conditions, many of which do not respond well to traditional medical treatments. The minute doses used in homeopathy will not draw an adverse reaction from the body. Instead, the body responds to this tiny exposure by mounting a healthy, functional response not just to the treatment but to related symptoms. Conditions that respond well to homeopathy include:

• Skin issues like eczema or atopic dermatitis
• Digestive problems, including IBS
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Fibromyalgia
• Headaches, including migraines
• Depression and anxiety
• Allergies
• Multiple sclerosis
• High blood pressure and cholesterol

Many people experience these as chronic or recurring conditions. Homeopathic medicine can bring about significant improvements without chemicals, drugs, or harmful side effects. Homeopathy uses very small doses that teach the body to respond appropriately so your own body heals itself.
