Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a holistic form of medicine we utilize at Elevate Health and Healing that focuses on stimulating the body’s natural ability to heal itself. It is based on the principle of "like cures like," meaning that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can, in microscopic/energetic doses, actually be used to treat similar symptoms in an ill person. This system of medicine has been used since the early 1700’s, and is widely practiced through Europe and India.  It is an incredibly gentle and effective approach to healing.

​

Homeopathic remedies are made from natural substances—such as plants, minerals, or animal products—that are prepared through a process of serial dilution and succussion (vigorous shaking). This process is designed to enhance the healing properties of the substance while minimizing any potential toxicity.
 

Essentially, a remedy is created by using a substance that causes symptoms similar to the condition being treated. For example, consider a bee sting. The substance responsible for the pain, swelling, and redness is used in its raw form. The process begins by diluting a drop of that substance in water, and then continuing to dilute it repeatedly—sometimes hundreds or even thousands of times. Each dilution reduces the substance to such a degree that there is no longer any measurable or detectable trace of the original ingredient.

​

Despite this extreme dilution, the body still absorbs the energetic frequency of the substance. When taken internally, this energetic imprint triggers the body's healing response to address the underlying issue, in this case reducing inflammation, pain, and redness from the bee sting. Unlike medications like Advil, which suppress the body’s natural inflammatory process, homeopathy works in harmony with the body, encouraging it to heal from the root cause of the problem.

​

Founded by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, homeopathy offers a broad range of support, making it effective for both acute conditions and chronic issues. Whether used for immediate relief of injuries or to address long-term health challenges, homeopathic remedies harness the body’s innate healing capabilities to restore balance.
