How
does homeopathy work?
Acute, chronic, and constitutional treatment
If
you go to a homeopath with an acute illness they may prescribe
an acute remedy for you based on the very specific nature
of your symptoms and on your health history.
The
goal of homeopathic treatment for chronic diseases, like
allergy and asthma, is to improve your body's ability to
deal with the disease so that it never returns. Chronic
diseases may require treatment with a series of remedies,
each one working at a successively deeper level.
When
you are generally healthy, a homeopath may prescribe a constitutional
or general remedy for you based on your own and your familys
history. The constitutional will help enhance your health,
reduce your susceptibility to illness or injury, and improve
your energy and state of mind.
