Help With Homeopathy

Homeopathy means 'same suffering' and is based on the belief that 'like cures like'.  Substances that can provoke symptoms in a well person can also relieve the same symptoms in a person who is ill.  For example, bee stings will cause a swollen, inflamed area and apis, which is made from bee stings, is often prescribed for arthritis suffers with swollen tender joints.  

Homeopathy is a safe, gentle, and natural system of healing that works with your body to relieve symptoms, restore itself, and improve your overall health.

The homeopath regards symptoms as the body’s healthy attempt to restore itself to balance. That is why a homeopath will choose a remedy that supports the symptoms—rather than opposing them or suppressing them as in conventional medicine. In conventional medicine, a cold or hay-fever sufferer is given an antihistamine to dry up the runny nose and watery eyes artificially. But this medication often comes with unpleasant side effects like sleepiness and constipation. With the correct homeopathic remedy, however, there are no side effects and a person is restored to health naturally. 

Homeopathic medicines – known as “remedies” – are made from natural sources (e.g., plants, minerals), and are environmentally friendly and cruelty free. Most are available over the counter in grocery stores, drug stores, health food stores, homeopathic pharmacies, and online. They are also extremely affordable. Homeopathic remedies when used as directed, are completely safe for everyone – including pregnant and nursing women, infants, children, and adults. They are given in such small doses that they don’t cause side effects.

A study of 30 fibromyalgia sufferers of the Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Pharmacology reported  that those taking homeopathic remedy Rhus tox had significantly bigger improvements in the number of tender points and overall quality of life.  

Below are a list of homeopathic remedies, along with the fibromyalgia related symptoms for which they are prescribed.  Simply choose the remedy with the indications that most closely match your symptoms.  Follow the dosage instructions on the product.  Check and see if a homeopathic doctor is paid for on your insurance plan to get an even better overall diagnosis.
