Can Homeopathy help me with....

I often get asked, "Can homeopathy cure (fill in the blank)?" I am always tempted to say, "YES" to all.

Unfortunately, we aren't allowed to answer questions such as that with an affirmative answer in the US, even if the answer is yes.

So the standard answer is, homeopathy doesn't treat disease, we treat people who happen to have dis-ease. And this is the correct answer, but takes a lot more time to explain.

But it is the case that the body does have the ability to heal itself. Everytime we cut a finger instead of the onion we were intending to chop for dinner, the body does take care of it and in a few days, it heals over.

Sometimes, however, the body needs a little motivation and that is where homeopathy comes in.

The symptoms you receive are a message from the body indicating what remedy it needs to heal itself. So if you have a sore throat that is better from cold drinks, it is red, and you feel like cleaning the house even though you are sick, your body is sending a message that these are important symptoms in your healing for this sore throat. A dose of homeopathic Apis would be the translation of those symptoms.

So how does one know how to translate the symptoms?

For acute illnesses, you can frequently help yourself by buying books, taking courses etc. I'll be teaching a course on March 27th at 9:00 a.m. through South Washington County Community Education in Woodbury, MN. You can find that information at http://www.cecool.com/.

For chronic illnesses, do not try to figure it out yourself. See a professional homeopath. Lotus Homeopathy is one choice in the East Metro Area in Woodbury, MN. Please see our website at http://www.lotushomeopathy.com/.
