About Homeopathy
What Is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is an evidence-based system of medicine that uses natural substances to trigger the body’s innate healing abilities. It uses highly diluted and potentised medicines, which are known as homeopathic remedies. These remedies are selected on the basis of each person’s unique expression of their illness. The homeopath looks for what is individualizing and particular to that person’s mental, emotional and physical symptoms and finds the homeopathic remedy that best matches this holistic view of the person.
The remedy is selected based on the principle of “like cures like”; which states that a natural substance is able to neutralize the same symptoms or illness that it can cause. This idea makes use of the body’s inner healing potential by triggering it to push back against the stimulation of the homeopathic remedy. When the homeopathic remedy matches the body’s unique expression of the illness, it triggers it to move towards health both in the specific organ of the disease and in the person as a whole, resulting in better sleep, higher energy, and improved resistance to the mental and emotional stresses of life.
Homeopathy has been in existence for over 200 years, is practiced all over the world and has been recognized by the World Health Organization as the second largest system of natural medicine.
Who Can Become a Homeopath?
In Canada and the United States, you can train to become a homeopathic practitioner if you have a high school diploma, a good understanding of the English language, and a strong desire to help people. Homeopaths come from a wide range of backgrounds, including non-medical and medical ones. The practice of homeopathy requires the use of logic and insightfulness and each student brings to it their unique skills and perspective. During our 3-year Professional Homeopathic Training Program, you will acquire an in-depth knowledge of how to use homeopathic remedies to help patients. The program also includes the study of medical sciences such as the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the different organ systems of the body. Students who already have prior training in medical sciences may obtain equivalencies for these parts of the program. Learn more by visiting our sister school Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine.
