At
the centre of our ability to recover from illness, even deeper
and more powerful than our immune system, is our vitality.
"I've not been well since I had flu"
"The doctors say none of my tests show anything wrong, but I know
I'm not well"
"I don't feel like my old self"
These are people talking about their loss of vitality. Vitality
is the ability to respond to challenges in our lives, to recover
fully from illness and to be creative in our relationships and
in our work. Illness which can be diagnosed by tests or examination
follows loss of vitality and is caused by it. Homeopathy works
by initiating a process by which vitality is enhanced so that
health and creativity return.
Homeopathy is a system of medicine based on the idea of "like
cures like"
That means that the way in which we become ill and all the symptoms
we feel are matched by those that the remedy would cause if it
were repeatedly given to a healthy person [eg.Allium cepa for hayfever]. In tiny, but powerful doses that
remedy can then work with our vitality to exactly stimulate those
aspects which have been affected. Because the system is precise
it is rare to experience side effects.
