Physician Heal Thyself: Lessons in Healing Reactions

A healing reaction is the dynamic calibration any living organism undergoes to return to a state of equilibrium that involves a profound elimination. In plain English, an inflammatory sickness that generates a discharge in order to become healthy again!

What is Homepathy?

Homeopathy is a 200 year-old system of medical science that actively and powerfully stimulates the body to heal itself. It utilizes the principles of the fundamental Laws of Nature. Homeopathy allows a person’s body to get back to self-regulation. This is different from medications and drugs which react for the individual and force something to happen.

Acute Physical Illness

As naturopathic doctors, our philosophy is different when it comes to our view on what it means to have an acute illness such as a cold or flu. These are short-term “healing reactions“, as we call them, that the body has in response to our body needing to go through a cleansing process.

Heavy Metals & Intestinal Detoxing

The bodily accumulation of toxicants from our environment is one of the greatest challenges to maintaining normal health in modern times. Sneaking in like a mouse in the night, we typically don’t know these harmful chemicals and metals are there until the signs are finally seen in later stages of poisoning.

Sacred Secretions

The endocrine system is a complex system that consists of hormones, which are chemical messengers that we prefer to call our “sacred secretions.” These sacred messengers are the key to maintaining all of our internal systems, from the nervous to the immune and digestive systems, connected with the outside world and each other.

Understanding the Lymphatic System

The lymphatic system is made of your lymph nodes, lymph vessels, tonsils, thymus, spleen, and bone marrow. Without a properly functioning lymphatic system, our detoxification avenues, and thus immune system becomes backed up, leading to illness and disease.

Principles of Healing

Our approach follows a specific therapeutic philosophy that mirrors age-old traditions in medical thought.

Microbes and the Terrain

There is more to a disease process than bacteria or viruses, which are ubiquitous in both the human system and in nature.

Temperament

Feelings, behavior and hormones are intimately linked. These concepts are not considered in classic medicine, but are fundamental to our methods.

Diathesis

Diathesis is another word for "Miasm", a historic term in homeopathy which refers to chronic disease processes.

Constitution

In this system of homeopathy, we refer to the core, or the structure of a person. This is distinct from classical homeopathy, which refers to a single remedy.

Terrain, the Guéniot Definition

Naturopathy, a termed coined around 1901, is the combination of the nineteenth century European practice Nature Cure with the principles and concepts of homeopathy.
