Homeopathic Remedies
Homeopathic remedies
are derived from natural substances that come from plants, minerals, or
animals. A remedy is prepared by diluting the substance in a series of
steps (as discussed in Question 2). Homeopathy Vancouver
asserts that this process can maintain a substance's healing properties
regardless of how many times it has been diluted. Many homeopathic remedies
are so highly diluted that not one molecule of the original natural
substance remains. Remedies are sold in liquid, pellet, and tablet
forms.

The term homeopathy comes from the Greek words homeo, meaning similar, and pathos, meaning suffering or disease. Homeopathy is an alternative medical system.
Key concepts of homeopathy include:
 Homeopathy seeks to stimulate the body's defence mechanisms and processes so as to prevent or treat illness.- Treatment involves giving very small doses of substances called remedies that, according to homeopathy, would produce the same or similar symptoms of illness in healthy people if they were given in larger doses.
- A homeopathic treatment is individualized (tailored to each person). Homeopathic practitioners select remedies according to a total picture of the patient, including not only symptoms but lifestyle, emotional and mental states, and other factors.
Homeopathic Practitioners Training
 In European countries, training in homeopathy is usually pursued either as a primary professional degree completed over 3 to 6 years or as postgraduate training for doctors.
In the United States and Canada, training in homeopathy is offered through diploma programs, certificate programs and short courses. Also, homeopathic training is part of the medical education in Naturopathy. Most homeopathy in the United States is practiced along with another health care practice for which the practitioner is licensed, such as conventional medicine, naturopathy, chiropractic, dentistry, acupuncture, or veterinary medicine (homeopathy is used to treat animals as well).
What do homeopathic practitioners do in treating patients?
 Typically, in homeopathy, patients have a lengthy first visit, during which the provider takes an in-depth assessment of the patient. This is used to guide the selection of one or more homeopathic remedies. During follow-up visits, patients report how they are responding to the remedy or remedies, which helps the practitioner make decisions about further treatment.
