Homeopathy

“I use homeopathy with each person because it is very effective in stimulating your body’s own healing mechanism allowing your body to overcome the disease state naturally.”

-Dr. Andrea Purcell

What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a system of therapy in which very small non-toxic doses of natural medicines are given to stimulate a healing reaction in a person.

Homeopathy is based on the law of similars. The law of similars means, that what a substance can cause it can also cure. A good example of this would be homeopathic bee venom (apis) given to cure the painful symptoms of a bee sting.

The homeopathic remedies are individualized and prescribed on a person’s physical, mental, and emotional characteristics. For example, two patients with the same complaint of depression most likely would get two different homeopathic prescriptions.

During the case taking the patient is given freedom to express his/her symptoms. In this way the patient identifies the problems to the practitioner within his or her own frame of reference. It is this valuable information that allows the practitioner to prescribe the correct medicine.

The goal in homeopathy is to find one single remedy that treats the whole person. As the patient responds the disease symptoms resolve.

Often the distinction between remedies for a patient is subtle. Occasionally a few prescriptions are necessary before a good response is obtained.

I use homeopathy with each person because it is very effective in stimulating your body’s own healing mechanism allowing your body to overcome the disease state naturally.

Homeopathy is extremely safe for everyone including, elderly, newborns, pregnant women, and people with multiple chemical sensitivities. No known contraindications exist between conventional pharmaceutical medications and homeopathic medications.

Patients of all ages and a wide variety of problems can benefit from this form of natural medicine.
