The Healing Power Behind the Pain
According to homeopathic philosophy, symptoms are a reflection of our life force attempting to re-establish balance. Whether it's PMS or headaches, chronic fatigue or depression, eczema or menopausal hot flashes, symptoms represent our coping style, our life force demanding attention to a perceived imbalance. The pattern manifesting in our condition can guide a homeopathic physician to insights into what our life force is asking for, what in nature might nurture our nature in order to re-establish balance physically, emotionally, and mentally.

Detox 101 - Cleansing Body-Mind-Spirit for a happier and healthier You
As we live in an environment of pollution, ingest toxins with our food (preservatives, artificial colors and flavors etc.) or produce toxins internally by not digesting our food properly, one of the basic requirements for good health is regular colon cleansing and detoxification. Especially once symptoms have occurred, it is absolute necessity. No matter what the diagnosis, this is number one priority. Illness and toxicity begin in the colon and so does good health, especially the journey back to health. As well, if we think health, weight follows....so don’t diet – detoxify!!
