Homeopathy is a healing modality that is based on an ancient idea in medicine known as the Law of Similars. Hippocrates wrote about it, Paracelsus argued for it, and medical literature throughout time has offered innumerable case studies to validate the idea that whatever can cause illness is the very same substance to heal that illness. In a quote from a long ago scripture comes the following: “Man wounds with a knife and heals with a plaster, but God heals with the very same thing with which he smites.” A gentler version from a 16th century Spanish mystic, paraphrased here: It is love that wounds us, and it is love that will heal us.
The only aim of your homeopath is to discover what substance from nature, is specific to your suffering, and to provide that substance in a safe, gentle, non-toxic form to activate your body to heal.
A holistic approach means to provide support that looks at the whole person, not just their mental health needs. The support should also consider their physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing.
Each person will have a different experience of mental illness and a path to recovery that is influenced by their age, gender, culture, heritage, language, faith, sexual and gender identity, relationship status, life experience and beliefs.
It is important not to assume that how you interpret situations will be the same as the person you are supporting. Listening, asking and checking are key skills to be able to provide a holistic service. A holistic approach focusses on a person’s wellness and not just their illness or condition.
