In the world of natural medicine, nothing is so commonly misunderstood as homeopathy. Even among well-educated consumers who can name the best supplements for every condition under the sun, mystery prevails…
Homeopathy is vastly different than allopathic medicine. Food, herbs, supplements and most allopathic medicines work on the biochemical level: Chemical constituents are digested and utilized.
Homeopathy works on the bioenergetic level. Working through the body’s energy system and bearing some similarities to acupuncture, homeopathic medicine may deliver messages almost instantly through the body’s nerve pathways. Homeopathic medicines relieve everything from allergies to arthritis pain to flu symptoms.
Developed by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann more than 200 years ago, “homeopathy” means “similar suffering.” By using trace amounts of natural substances, which at high doses caused symptoms similar to those he was aiming to treat, Hahnemann created nontoxic treatments that safely awakened the body’s healing response.
One of the greatest appeals of homeopathy is its universal safety.
Regardless of age, health conditions or the use of other medications, homeopathy is nontoxic.
Today, hundreds of scientific studies have demonstrated homeopathy’s efficacy, and it’s now covered by many national healthcare plans.

The success of the increased growth of in-home care services brings its own set of challenges, such as the recent shortage of nurses, physicians, support staff and other practitioners.
Do you know someone who has fallen and experienced detrimental effects on their physical health, confidence and emotional state? A “stairlift” is a viable solution for those who want to stay in their homes and it provides peace of mind for the family.
Every year, 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Of those, many will rely on their families for support.
I’ve been a volunteer caregiver for about 25 years now and know well that it is undoubtedly the most difficult and underappreciated job on the planet. However, in caring for my own father, I found that it is also a privilege and a sacred trust, sharing the most meaningful moments of your loved one’s life. But amid the cleaning, meal planning and cooking, and arranging medications and doctor visits, exhaustion can consume you, making time pass by without you being able to fully appreciate precious final years — possibly even days.
