Homeopathy is a natural pharmaceutical science dating back to the 1800s that uses various plants, minerals, or animals in very small doses to stimulate the sick person’s natural defenses. Homeopaths recognize that symptoms represent the best efforts of the organism to adapt to and defend against various stresses or infections. Because the body is not always successful in dealing with every stress or infection, it is important to find a substance in nature that has the capacity to mimic the symptoms the person is experiencing in order to aid the body in its efforts to defend and ultimately heal itself. Homeopathic medicine stimulates a person’s own healing processes.

At CMCC, a detailed history of each client is taken and specific symptoms — physical, emotional, and mental — are identified. A customized homeopathic remedy is then created to help the body eliminate these symptoms.
