We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Solution to unconventional problems

When the ordinary map no longer describes the territory of your health.

It takes not only science, but also an art to help a human being heal.

Now more than ever, increased awareness and expectations of individual well-being is challenging the current methods of health care. Conventional medicine has developed a standardized approach to diagnose a disease as an ideal average of signs and symptoms detected in the population. It follows predefined treatment protocols that ensure patient comfort, early intervention, and supporting therapy for everyone. It also allows health care providers to serve optimal number of patients.

Such an approach has led to a fast, reliable, and universally valid medical practice that can serve the population. However, many individuals experience peculiar symptoms that do not fit a standardized definition of a disease. They suffer from something that cannot be identified by conventional methods, and the underlying cause of their ailments remains unknown.

They do not respond to treatment as expected, develop hypersensitivities, or resistance to medications. They become an exception to the standardized method, an irregularity. They are often left without a solution to their unconventional health problems, but certainly not unnoticed.

These cases have reminded us that the phenomenon of human nature is yet to be explained and it takes not only science but also an art to help a human being heal. Moreover, their search of a solution has changed the landscape of health care — revived the traditional alternative medicines, dietary and nutritional therapies, mind and body practices and other healing modalities and encouraged us to integrate them in our lives.

Homeopathic treatment

A practice as old as it is attentive.

Homeopathy has helped millions of people with various afflictions to harness their body’s intrinsic healing abilities and enable their well-being.

What01

A well-indicated remedy, for a functional condition that can return to homeostasis.

Traditionally, homeopathic remedies are chosen based on a well-defined set of symptoms and factors that ameliorate or aggravate them. Thousands of such cases have been carefully recorded since mid-1800s mostly by physicians who practiced homeopathy as traditional medicine before it was modified and replaced by conventional medicine.

The limitations are conditions that have already progressed to permanent damage and require supporting therapy or interventions to sustain function using the methods of conventional medicine.

Often helpful for

Stress-related problems
Complex chronic conditions

Chronic pains
Long-term fatigue
Sleep disturbances

Depression

How02

Classical homeopathy considers the totality of the person — physical, emotional, and mental.

Each case is considered individually, so we need a variety of case-taking techniques to guide people into describing the sensations of their ailments until a unique characteristic pattern is revealed. Then, following a comprehensive analysis, we match the individual’s pattern of symptoms with a characteristic symptomatology of a homeopathic remedy in order to trigger the body’s healing mechanism.

Homeopaths have at their disposal a library of about 4,000 homeopathic remedies. Most have been tested in healthy individuals and the sensations they produce systematically analyzed and recorded. In parallel, they have been in clinical use since mid-1800s and their clinical effects well-documented — all compiled into a continuously updated materia medica.

When03

Healing moves at its own pace — sometimes in hours, sometimes across seasons.

The length of a homeopathic treatment depends on the duration and severity of the ailment. If people take a well-indicated remedy at the very onset of their symptoms, they may experience a relief within hours and days. These are the cases of mild external injuries, colds, digestive issues, localized inflammations, or other temporarily physical or emotional indispositions due to certain external factors.

In cases when people have had complaints for years, it may take some time to initiate the body’s natural healing mechanism. Initially people respond by subtle changes such as “everything tastes better,” “I somehow feel as if clouds have lifted off my head,” or “I have energy and my mind is clear.” Soon, the healing process moves from the mental and emotional level to ameliorating the physical ailments.

Who04

“No one can tell me what is wrong with me, but I know that I haven’t been myself since…”

“I have forgotten what is it like to feel well. I am not myself. Can’t explain it.”

“I can’t wake up in the morning. No energy to do anything. My brain is foggy.”

“I can’t sleep. I am tossing and turning all night. I know if I would just stop thinking about all the things that I have to do, I’d be able to sleep. But, I have no control over it.”

“I know that I am crying and yelling for no particular reason, but I can’t help it.”

“I know that stress causes my high blood pressure / back pain / migraines, but I don’t know how to stop feeling stressed.”

“I am allergic to pollen, to strawberries, to dust, to cats… My doctors tell me to avoid allergens. But that means to avoid almost everything. What should I do?”

“My child suddenly started stuttering. Neurologist said that his tests are normal. I don’t understand…”

“My child feels nauseous every time he gets nervous. He thinks that food causes his nausea, and now he is afraid to eat. I don’t know how to help him.”
