I am often asked if homeopathic remedies cause side effects. Unlike traditional western medicines Homeopathy has no side effects. This is not to be confused with proving symptoms, aggravations, or return of old symptoms.

What is the difference between an acute illness and a chronic disease? What happens if an acute illness occurs while a person is on under constitutional care?

Over the years of using homeopathy, I am learning, however, that using a remedy to heal each and every bump, bruise, cold, fever, or other illness isn’t necessary. It may not even be appropriate. I’m learning to trust in the body’s ability to take care of itself. It is, after all, constantly in the process of healing and regenerating daily without any assistance from me. Trusting in our body’s ability to restore itself with the least intervention is what homeopathy is about.
