Homeopathic medicine formally began over 200 years ago. However, the basic principles of homeopathy date back to the time of Hippocrates and the beginnings of medicine.
Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician, founded the primary principles of homeopathy in 1796, which are still the basis of modern classical homeopaths today.
Homeopathy has developed into a comprehensive system of medicine that is widely used throughout the world today.
There have been many active homeopathic hospitals throughout history in Europe and the US.
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine, meaning your mental, emotional and physical symptoms are treated as a whole and connected.
The aim of homeopathic treatment is to understand your unique symptoms and condition as a whole person. The homeopathic remedy that is chosen for you is based on your unique expression of your dis-ease and will bring balance on all levels.
Homeopathy has three main principles
Totality of symptoms – I observe and consider all your symptoms on all levels – physical, mental and emotional, as disease indicates a disharmony of the whole person.
Similar cures similar – Your unique symptoms and overall state will similarly match the symptoms of your prescribed homeopathic remedy.
Minimum dose – Homeopathic remedies are highly diluted leaving only a minute amount of the original substance. I will only prescribe a minimal amount of a remedy and a single remedy at a time – just enough to produce a healing response.
Homeopathic Remedies
Homeopathic remedies are made from natural substances, highly diluted and potentized for a deep acting natural effect.
Homeopathic remedies are effective in treating chronic conditions, acute, first aid, in pre and post-surgery, during pregnancy, birth, post-natal, and palliative care.
The remedies are gentle acting and have no harmful side effects. This makes them suitable and beneficial during pregnancy, for infants, children and the elderly.
Homeopathic medicines are designed to stimulate and work with your body’s own innate natural healing ability and system.
The remedies are effective in relieving symptoms of the mind, emotions and body.
“Canteris treated both of my sons, ages 11 and 13. One suffered from chronic and reoccurring coughs, the other from insomnia and persistent leg cramps. From the first visit both their complaints were quickly and gently solved and their over-all health improved. I would recommend homeopathy to any parent who is looking for an effective and non-invasive form of treatment for their children.”
