What is homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a highly effective, safe and gentle system of holistic medicine that provides deep healing for the body, mind and emotions. Homeopathy is founded on the principle of “similia similibus curenur” or “like cures like”. This law of Similars states that any substance which is capable of causing symptoms when taken by a healthy person is also capable of curing similar symptoms occurring as a result of disease in a sick person. In fact, Homeopathy comes from the Greek “homoeos” which means similar and “pathos” meaning suffering. Homeopathy has been helping people heal in this way for more than 200 years. It assists the natural ability of the body to heal itself by stimulating and strengthening the immune system.
In Homeopathy disease symptoms are seen as the body warning signs alerting us to what needs to be healed. Rather than suppressing the symptoms Homeopathic treatment addresses the root cause of them by activating the body’s own ability to self-regulate and heal. Homeopathic medicines are selected on an individual basis determined by the presenting symptoms as well the individuals’ own unique characteristics. Using those unique symptoms in a truly holistic way the homeopath can then choose the best remedy for that person. The remedies are made from naturally occurring substances such as plants and minerals. They are easy to take, do not create side effects and do not interfere with current medications.

As early as 1950, Mother Teresa opened a homeopathic dispensary to serve the poor in Calcutta. She studied under homeopathic physician, Dr. Jai Chand and directed the sisters to do the same. Eventually her Missionaries of Charity expanded their homeopathic outreach to include four dispensaries.
