Homeopathy has the potential to counteract the accumulation of toxins and metabolic slowdown characteristic of chronic problems. It also offers the possibility of activating the defences in acute problems such as fever, inflammation or childhood rashes.
Basically any problem resulting from an imbalance of the vital force (the organising principle of the body) will result in disharmonies that can be correctly analysed. The homeopath matches the symptomatology of the body with a homeopathic remedy which will lead to a reaction in the positive sense.
Insomnia, depression, anxiety, digestive problems, dysmenorrhoea and allergies are examples of problems that can be treated with homeopathy.
- Insomnia is a problem that affects many people. It may or may not be associated with anxiety during the day. Not all insomnia is the same. Some people have insomnia first thing in the morning and cannot fall asleep, others wake up in the middle of the night and find it difficult to get back to sleep or others wake up in the early hours of the morning and do not get back to sleep until they get up. Individualisation at this level will help the homeopath to understand the patient. Insomnia is a reflection of the whole individual and should be analysed taking into account the whole symptomatology.
- Depression, lack of motivation or anxiety are also a reflection of the totality of the individual. Information about what improves or triggers or worsens the state of anxiety is of great importance in its treatment.
- The digestive system is very important for the proper functioning of the body. Through the digestive system we receive external stimuli, process them and discard what is not good for us. Problems such as colic, bloating of the abdomen, constipation or diarrhoea are illustrative of malfunctioning digestive functions and can be adequately resolved by following a homeopathic approach.
- Dysmenorrhoea and problems of the genital system in general are manifestations of problems at the neuroendocrine level. They are thus illustrations of the totality of the woman that must be treated taking into account all available information ranging from factors of improvement or worsening of the pains themselves to desires and aversions to certain foods. The woman’s state of mind is of great importance for the analysis.
- Allergies are manifestations of the immune system and are very good candidates for treatment with homeopathy. The immune system is an expression of the life force and should be treated in a non-suppressive way.
The dynamic approach is the best option for solving acute problems and, most of the time, the only option for the resolution of chronic problems. The right approach is one that respects the whole person, takes into account what the body is expressing and aims to bring the life force to a higher state. The absence of symptoms is not the only thing to consider. Well-being means energy, correct and restful sleep cycles, a zest for life and the enjoyment of food and the company of others as well as ourselves. Balance is a dynamic process and the person must rely on his or her energy to constantly adapt to the outside world.
