Homeopathy is a holistic type of medicine that seeks to unify body and soul. It is based on the opinion that the causes of diseases are phenomena such as a loss of energy, caused by bad habits and stress, both physical and psychological. Illness is understood as the result of an imbalance between biological and personal causes.

The basic principles of homeopathic treatment are:

• like cures like, i.e. "similia similibus curantur".

• the smallest dose of the drug (infinite dilution) - the more diluted the substance, the more penetrating and deeper its effect - both on the client's psyche and body.

• holistic approach – the drug is prescribed according to the sum of all psychological and physical characteristics of a specific individual. This is the so-called totality of symptoms.

Due to the aforementioned comprehensive approach to the client, the so-called individualization, the initial diagnostic interview in homeopathy can last up to two hours. Through detailed questioning, the homeopath tries to get a "picture of the medicine" that will correspond to the "picture of the client". Areas of interest to the homeopath include the so-called data:

• mental, which best characterize the type of person (this includes, for example, loves and aversions, fears, social behavior, relationship with other people, sleep, dreams)

• general describing general reactions and symptoms, concerning the whole person (this includes, for example, reaction to heat and cold, predominance of symptoms on one side of the body, risky seasons of the year or day, reaction to humidity, wind). Everything that relates to the patient as a whole.

One of the main principles he works with is the theory of chronic disease. Individual problems and diseases of a certain person separated in time and place (eg colds, sore throats, headaches, insomnia) are understood as manifestations (symptoms) of a certain internal pathological tendency of the individual. The only chronic diseases, unfolding from birth to death.

It is a so-called constitutional disease (a chronic, lifelong, deep-seated pathological tendency, manifesting itself in various diseases and ailments). If the chronic pathological tendency can be removed and eradicated, the patient recovers.

Constitutional homeopathy is homeopathy that does not look for a cure for a specific disease and ailment - for example, allergic rhinitis, repeated sore throats, but looks for the type of the patient's nature. A homeopath is always interested not only in a specific symptom (e.g. a sore throat), but also in accompanying feelings and symptoms. What improves and worsens the client's condition, what usually causes his problems. Which times of the day and year are risky for him, etc.

The patient tells his life story, on the basis of which the homeopath gets to the core of the disease and determines the correct constitutional medicine. The drug starts the healing process that the organism carries out on its own. The natural constitution of man and his own vitality will begin to be strengthened. This will support the self-healing processes of body and soul. The constitutional medicine is administered either once or repeatedly, depending on the type of problems the patient is dealing with.

Homeopathy entered my life when I was looking for a way to heal myself, at the age of 25. Together with phytotherapy, she was the most important helper in my successful treatment. After the birth of the children, she was a regular part of the harmonization of health in our family, and also thanks to her, my children's childhood passed without common medicines. The meaningfulness and power of homeopathy helped me deepen my studies at the Homeopathic Academy Mgr. Chehovsky. Today, I primarily use constitutional homeopathy as a supplement in my therapeutic work with clients. It can be perfectly combined with the use of herbs and Bach essences.
