Homeopathy…is the most complete medical science.”

-Mahatma Gandhi

DID YOU KNOW THAT?

Homeopathy was developed over 200 years ago by Samuel Hahnemann. He was actually an early naturopath, for he believed in the healing power of nature and he also believed that health was a dynamic balance of body, mind and emotions.

Dr. Talib will choose the appropriate remedy that is identified by taking into account the emotional, physical and mental characteristics of the patient and how one responds to everyday and life-changing events.

In simple explanation:

It is based on the principle that you can treat ‘like with like; i.e. a substance which causes symptoms when taken in large doses, can be used in small amounts to treat those same symptoms.

Homeopathy has been widely used throughout the world for more than 200 years. In 2000, the House of Lords’ Select Committee on Science & Technology cited homeopathy as one of the five Group One therapies, having “an individual diagnostic approach” along with osteopathy, chiropractic, herbal medicine and acupuncture.

Several clinical studies show the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies. In 1994, the first study about homeopathy was published in an American Scientific journal led by Jennifer Jacobs, M.D. It was conducted in Nicaragua and it included 81 children with acute diarrhea as subjects. All the children received standard anti-dehydration treatment for diarrhea, consisting of water containing salt and sugar. In addition, half the children received homeopathic treatment and half received a placebo. The study confirmed Homeopathy’s effectiveness: The recovery time for children receiving homeopathic treatment was 20 % faster than those who did not. In 1991, the British Medical Journal published an analysis of clinical studies which totaled to 81 different studies all proving the effectiveness of Homeopathy.

Homeopathy treats the person rather than the named “disease”. Homeopathy can help patients with a wide range of conditions, both acute and chronic. Illnesses commonly seen by homeopaths in the clinic include recurrent infections (such as colds, tonsillitis, cystitis), skin conditions, menstrual and menopausal problems, chronic fatigue, migraine, and stress related symptoms such as anxiety and insomnia.
