Reading time: 6 min

Health professionals practicing homeopathy take a holistic approach to patient care, exploring their daily lives, habits, and environment before prescribing personalized treatments.

Why choose homeopathy as a treatment?

We hear all and sundry about this therapy. But it’s homeopathic doctors like Dr. Caron-Philippon who talk about it best.

Patient-specific therapy

A homeopathic doctor’s approach is similar to that of any doctor: he or she carries out an examination and a clinical assessment and sometimes recommends additional tests to establish a homeopathic diagnosis. Homeopathy’s particular approach is based on more precise questioning and closer observation of the patient during the consultation. The goal is to determine and clarify the symptoms manifested in order to understand how the patient experiences their illness. Ultimately, our aim is to issue a prescription that takes into account what the patient has said. The homeopathic doctor doesn’t treat a disease; they treat a patient. With homeopathic medicines, treatment is truly personalized.

Medicines for children and pregnant women

Another major advantage is that homeopathic treatments are very unlikely to induce side effects and respect the health of both mother and child. There are also very highly unlikely to interact or be contraindicated with other drugs. Pregnant women and young children can therefore follow homeopathic treatment. The only risk is not finding the right homeopathic medicine right away, and therefore having no effect. As with conventional medicine, the practitioner might not always find the correct remedy the first time. The patient must be seen again to reassess the situation, especially in the case of acute conditions.

For pregnant women, it is prudent to seek the advice of a healthcare professional before taking any treatment.

Treatments that complement conventional medicines

Homeopathic medicines are also useful and effective as a complement to conventional medicines, with minimal risk of interaction. In fact, there are considered among the safest natural health products, due to their very low risk of interaction. In fact, there are generally no contraindications to the simultaneous use of conventional and homeopathic treatments. For example, to treat bacterial tonsillitis, in addition to antibiotics to treat the infection, the patient may also take homeopathic treatment to relieve pain.

Solutions to prevent, relieve and cure acute and chronic illnesses

Homeopathy is very useful for alleviating the symptoms of many acute illnesses, such as ENT disorders, coughs, colds, sore throat, allergies, painful periods, or muscle aches. In addition to individualized remedies, the homeopath also instructs the patient with general advice, such as increasing water intake or establishing a routine. More importantly, a qualified homeopath will know when to refer the patient to another healthcare professional. Homeopathy is also recommended for chronic conditions such as anxiety-related disorders, herpes, venous disorders, and musculoskeletal issues. Homeopathy is also very useful for relieving the side effects of cancer treatment, such as nausea, coping with the stress associated with the announcement of the illness, or preparing for surgery. Finally, it also helps to maintain health. To this end, the homeopath will establish what is known asa constitutional treatment to limit the frequency and intensity of the acute episodes that plague patients’ lives. Thanks to homeopathic treatment, the body can better defend itself against future viral attacks. So don’t hesitate to seek the advice of a qualified homeopath, who will know which homeopathic treatment is best suited to your illness and symptoms.

Homeopathic pellets that are easy and convenient to take

Adhering to the prescribed treatment couldn’t be simpler: just keep the tube with you and take the pellets at the time indicated by the health professional. Another advantage for children reluctant to take medication is that the pellets have a pleasant taste and can melt in water. The recommended dose can then be administered with a spoon or oral syringe for infants. Note that this solution can be given in several doses, as long as it is kept in a cool place for no more than a day.

Suitable, high-quality medicines

Boiron homeopathic medicines are reliable and manufactured according to a safety process that includes rigorous quality controls on raw materials and traditional manufacturing techniques combined with state-of-the-art technology. They are recommended by health professionals trained in this therapy or used by patients who already know their benefits. At a time when conventional medicine must assess the benefit-risk ratio of treatments to address functional symptoms, such as headaches, stomach aches, or insomnia, it would be a real shame to deprive ourselves of homeopathy, one of the safest therapeutic options, which has been proving its effectiveness for over 200 years.
