HOMEOPATHY

Homeopathy is a system of healing developed around 1800 by a German Physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. It is a therapy that seeks to cure illness in accordance with certain principles of healing utilizing “remedies made from plants, minerals, or animal products”. These remedies are prepared by a system of repeated dilution and succussion, which renders them capable of stimulating the healing process. Homeopathy is not directed at removing symptoms or killing germs, but rather, toward strengthening the person so that his or her own healing capacities function better.

The health of our mouth is crucial to our overall health, and as dentists understand the relationship that oral disease has to the entire body, they can be even more therapeutic in their service. Homeopathy is a great therapeutic tool to assist dentists in providing a more comprehensive approach to healthcare.
