So what is a homeopathic remedy? I thought that is what diet, herbs & food was.

Thanks, Shari

Here is your answer Shari.

The base substance for a homeopathic remedy comes out of the three kingdoms of nature: plants, minerals, and animal substances. All remedies are potentized.

Potentiation is a combination of dilution and succussion (rhythmically shaking of a substance), so it becomes a vibrational essence. A plant - for example, Arnica montana - is macerated and put in alcohol for a certain amount of time. The alcohol draws out the active ingredient. After straining the solution, you obtain the tincture of the plant. One part of this mother tincture is mixed with nine parts of alcohol and then vigorously shaken. Alcohol is used to prolong the shelf life. This process can be repeated many times, resulting in very high dilutions (potencies). 6x means this process is done six times. From x 23 on there is no molecule found in the solution anymore. Yet those high potencies can be very powerful.

Hahnemann calls the energy that is working through the remedy the dynamic force. When we look scientifically at the human being, we realize that we are composed of billions of molecules and atoms, which have a polarity, positive in the center and negative in the peripheral parts, which creates an energy field the homeopathic remedy works on. Looking at this concept it is easily understood how even high potencies can work. Homeopathic remedies are just creating a stimulation that gives feedback to the physical body. That is the reason, why you usually feel better and your energy level is up before the physical symptoms disappear.

High potencies are very volatile substances and therefore need to be stored in a cool place, away from electromagnetic fields. Unfortunately, even many health food stores keep them on shelves, overpowered by electromagnetic fields which weakens the remedies or even makes them inactive.

So if a naturopathic doctor gives me a remedy similar to what you described, he would be practicing homeopathy? But still be an ND? Right?

Exactly. A traditional homeopathic physician might suggest changing diet, etc., but I doubt if they would actually give you anything other than the homeopathic remedy tailor made for your problem. A naturopath has knowledge and training in different healing modalities and homeopathy may simply be one of them.

The difference is kind of like the difference between cognac and brandy. All cognac is brandy, but not all brandy is cognac.

All homeopaths are naturopaths, but not all naturopaths are homeopaths. (And not all homeopaths are 6th Ed. Organon Classical Homeopaths, which is what you would be looking for if you were looking.<G>)
