If you have been to a homeopath and received different remedies for each of your ailments, for example, one remedy for your headaches, another for bloating, and yet another for your itchy skin, you will notice, over time, that this approach provides only temporary relief at best. Effective homeopathic treatment must treat the whole person, layer by layer, and not address each symptom separately. At Sanctuary Wellness, this is exactly what we do! We practice classical homeopathy, an approach that treats your whole being, taking into consideration not just your physical symptoms but your mental and emotional state as well.
Healing, not just relief of symptoms
Most people turn to homeopathy because they are looking for a natural solution to their ailments. However, there are different ways of practising homeopathy. Many homeopaths take a symptomatic approach, where they treat each ailment on its own, rather than considering the relationship between all the ailments that the patient has.
Classical homeopathy has a different approach. It's about long-term wellness, not just temporary relief. If a homeopath addresses only the symptoms - headaches or skin rashes - the patient feel better for a short time, but the root cause remains. Over time, those symptoms often return, sometimes in new forms.
All holistic therapies view symptoms as manifestations of a deeper imbalance in your vital force or lifeforce energy. This energy is known as “prana” in Ayurvedic medicine or “qi” in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Classical homeopathy aims to correct this lifeforce energy and when the energy is more balanced, the symptoms your body is experiencing will gradually improve over time. The icing on the cake is better sleep, vitality and energy levels.
Why Taking Multiple Homeopathic Remedies Can Fall Short
The prescription of multiple remedies simultaneously for different symptoms may be a convenience, but it usually misses the bigger picture. It is like painting over the cracks in the wall without fixing its foundation: the surface looks fine, but the deeper problem within remains because the lifeforce energy has not been corrected.
In classical homeopathy, there is no patchwork. Every remedy is given with much deliberation, and its effect is followed and observed over time. This means that your body gradually becomes strong, resilient, and much less susceptible to recurring conditions.
What Classical Homeopaths Do
Classical homeopaths carefully inquire into your overall health: your emotional state, physical complaints, sleep patterns, stress levels, and even past illnesses. After an in-depth consultation, a remedy that fits you as a whole person, not just your current complaint, is chosen. Your symptoms will improve in a certain direction - the deepest layer of imbalance will correct first, before the surface layers. For example, if a person comes with headaches, bloating and skin complaints, a classical homeopath will give more importance to the headaches first as this is a deeper complaint. Once the headaches improve, the priority will shift to the gastric complaints and then finally the skin. This is why it is absolutely important for the homeopath to explain the process in detail so that patients know what to expect during their homeopathic treatment.
Make the Choice for Your Health
Classical homeopathy requires a different mindset. It's not instant relief, and it's not about ticking off symptoms one by one. It is about the process, allowing your body to heal itself. Often, the results start subtly - better digestion, improved energy, or more restful sleep - but they add up over time in profound, lasting changes.
At Sanctuary Wellness, we guide you on this journey, offering support, care, and expertise every step of the way. By choosing classical homeopathy, one is indeed choosing real wellness-the kind of wellness that strengthens your body from within and creates enduring balance in your life.
