Homeopathy
Homeopathy was developed over 200 years ago by the doctor and pharmacist Samuel Hahnemann. It is based on the principle of similarity.
At the center of homeopathy is the human being as a whole of body, soul and spirit. Diseases are not seen as isolated organic disorders, but as a disturbance of the person's life force. The aim of homeopathic treatment
is to activate the self-healing powers (life force) in order to release blockages so that the best possible health and well-being can be restored at all levels.
Classical Homeopathy is based on the law of: : "Like cures like“, or as Hahnemann called it “Similia similibus curentur”. The word Homeopathy comes from greek and means similar suffering.
Symptoms that a remedy can cause in a person are able to cure similar symptoms in a sick person. Coffee causes nervousness, trembling, irritability and lack of sleep in many people. The homeopathic remedy Coffea (made from the coffee bean) can restore balance and calm to a person with such symptoms.
Individuality
Homeopathy treats each person individually. 2 patients suffering from the same illness will most likely receive different medicines.
Example: Headaches can be throbbing, stabbing, pulling. The pain can be at the back of the head, at the temples or in the forehead. The pain reacts differently to heat or cold, fresh air. The pain can also be stronger or weaker at different times of the day.
Case recording / anamnesis
As a homeopath, I try to find the remedy for each client that best reflects their symptoms and personality.
In classical homeopathy, only one remedy is used at the time.
I will send you a questionnaire.
In the anamnesis I will ask you about your complaints in detail.
What complaints have brought you to me?
How exactly do they manifest themselves?
When do they occur?Is there an obvious cause?
What makes them better or worse?
Are there any likes or dislikes regarding the weather, food, etc.?

The aim of homeopathic treatment is to activate the self-healing powers (life force) in order to release blockages so that the best possible health and well-being can be restored at all levels.
The basic rule of homeopathy is: “Similar things are cured with similar things” (Hahnemann called it “Similia similibus curentur”). Homeopathy means similar suffering.
As a homeopath, I try to find the remedy for each client that best reflects their symptoms and personality.
In classical homeopathy, only one remedy is used.
Case recording / anamnesis
I will send you a questionnaire.
In the anamnesis I will ask you about your complaints in detail.
What complaints have brought you to me?
How exactly do they manifest themselves?
When do they occur?
Is there an obvious cause?
What makes them better or worse?
Are there any likes or dislikes regarding the weather, food, etc.?
To find a remedy, it is also important for me to understand you as a person.
What are you like as a person?
What is typical for you?
How do you react to disappointment, sadness, anger, fear, injury or stress?
What are your habits, your way of life, and what makes you the special person you are?
Drug search /repertorization
After taking the case, I will look for a remedy based on your information, a process we call repertorization in homeopathy. This takes some time. I will then recommend a homeopathic remedy. This will usually be globules, but sometimes it will also be drops. You will receive precise instructions on how to take the medicine.
Medicines - Remedies
There are now several thousand homeopathic remedies. These are made from plant, mineral or animal substances. Research into new medicines is very exciting and is constantly expanding our treasure trove of medicines.
Course of treatment
The treatment of chronic diseases is usually a lengthy process. Sometimes it takes several attempts to find the right remedy or there are different layers that require different medicines. The longer the illness has existed, the longer the healing process will be.
Self-observation
As you can see from this description, I am dependent on your help in order to achieve the best result for you.
After the medication has been administered, it is important that you observe yourself and describe your reactions to me. On this basis, I will determine the further treatment.
It is good to make a few notes:
What are your main complaints, what change has there been?
Are there any other changes that you have noticed?
Have new complaints arisen or ones that you know from before?
How is your state of mind in general, in case of challenges, stress?
How is your sleep and your dreams? Do you feel rested in the morning?
Has the way you deal with stress factors changed? In which direction?
Do you feel efficient and can you concentrate?
For women: has anything changed with regard to your menstrual cycle?
How is your appetite, thirst, digestion?
Effect
After taking the medicine, you may sometimes experience an initial aggravation, which indicates that your body is reacting and processing things. This should subside within 1 week.
If you have a stronger reaction, so that you feel unwell and are unsure what you should do, please give me a call.
Please also contact me if you have an acute illness that requires treatment. This can usually be treated very well homeopathically and can often be done by telephone.
As we know from experience, reading the remedy can greatly distort the observation, so I will not tell you the remedy name. This way you can observe neutrally what changes in you.
