Homeopathy is a system of medicine, yes, MEDICINE. Developed in the 18th century by Dr Samuel Hahnemann, homeopathy uses very small amounts of natural substances that, in its raw form, may cause a symptom. The word homeopathy derives from two Greek words meaning “similar suffering".

Developed by longtime homeopath, Joette Calabrese, after studying with a family of generational homeopathic doctors, this unique brand of homeopathy is efficient, scientific, reproducible, and, most importantly, it’s relatively easy for the layperson to learn and soon become the healer in their home. Why? Practical Homeopathy® builds on proven, straightforward protocols developed from the clinical experience of world-class homeopaths.

Homeopathy seeks to stimulate the body's own healing mechanisms to correct the underlying imbalance that caused the symptoms in the first place. It is a system of medicine that is fundamentally different from conventional (allopathic) medicine, which tends to heavily focus on pharmaceuticals.  Homeopathic medicine aims to treat the whole person using medicines made from highly diluted plants and other natural elements. Based on the belief these medicines stimulate a healing response in our bodies, the principle law is "like cures like"...an ailment  can be cured by a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people.

I have used homeopathy for 20 years now and it truly was the discovery of a lifetime. I began with Arnica montana for pain management after becoming allergic to all OTC pain relievers. From there, I used homeopathy under the guidance of my midwives for morning sickness symptoms then to prepare for birthing (I truly believe they helped me have 5 hour labors!) , followed by most acute illnesses that came into our home. What solidified my desire to use and teach people about homeopathy was the miracle of seeing it abate severe allergic reactions not just once but MANY times!

A short list to answer a big question:

• gentle and non-toxic
• safe for children
• supports the body’s natural healing response
• can be used alongside conventional care
• empowers parents with practical tools

What I find to be true is most people come crawling to homeopathy after trying almost everything else.

Short answer is I NEVER leave home without Apis mellifica in case of anaphylaxis. If you want to know why or learn how homeopathy can become a part of your health toolkit, sign up to my email list and hit the Explore Homeopathy Study Groups button!
