Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a 200-year old holistic discipline that follows that the principles of “like cures like” to treat a variety of chronic and acute ailments. Therefore, the homeopathic therapy that is chosen is one that would produce the same symptoms as the ailment in a normal healthy patient. The therapeutic ingredient is diluted so that it does not aggravate the current condition, but rather, speeds up the healing process. Although veterinary homeopathy is often considered to be a gentle and safe treatment option, it should only be performed under the guidance of a trained veterinarian. Certain drugs may be safe for human consumption, but could be toxic to your pet or interfere with a concurrent medication. Once a pet has been evaluated, homeopathic remedies may be prescribed along with certain dietary changes. At this time, there is conflicting research on the medical benefits of homeopathy, but anecdotal experience has shown success in treating a variety of diseases such as allergies, asthma, and even behavioral disorders.
