What is Homeopathy?

It’s easiest to rule out what it is not first. It is not an umbrella term, nor a synonym for holistic, natural, or alternative care. It is not home remedies (despite the similar syllable “home”). It does not refer to vitamins, supplements, essential oils, or herbs.

It is a scientifically based system of medicine that has been in use since the late 1700s. It is non-toxic, has no known side effects, is strictly regulated by the FDA, and can safely be used to treat acute and chronic issues for anyone (from newborns to pregnant and nursing women, to the elderly, no matter how frail or what the season of life). It treats animals, including pets, livestock, and wildlife.

Physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral issues can all be addressed using homeopathy. As stated above, it addresses both acute and chronic conditions (including addictions, allergies, and attention issues, for example); as well as emergencies, injuries, and epidemics.
