HOMEOPATHY, ANOTHER WAY TO TREAT YOURSELF
Homeopathy: more than a medicine, a system of care
Homeopathic therapy is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a system of care. It involves homeopathic medicines, healthcare professionals and a philosophy of care based on several principles:
- The efficacy and safety of homeopathic medicines
- Prevention
- The patient as a player in his or her own health
- Comprehensive patient care
- And an individualized, personalized approach to care
Homeopathic treatments for everyone, an individualized therapy
Homeopathic solutions can generally be used by everyone, and are often the safest choice, especially for those most at risk, such as young babies, pregnant women or people on multiple medications.
Homeopathy is an “individualized” therapy, since it considers each individual as unique, taking into account his or her individual reaction. Every homeopathic treatment, even at symptomatic level, can therefore be personalized.
A therapy that respects the body
Homeopathic therapy is not “anti”. Homeopathic treatment does not run counter to physiological phenomena. On the contrary, it accompanies them. At the same time, it responds to the growing demand for naturalness on the part of patients: respect for physiology, absence of chemical molecules in weighted doses and absence of toxic effects on the organism.
It is one of the safest therapies available.
Proven efficacy in numerous clinical studies
Numerous homeopathic research studies have demonstrated the benefits and efficacy of homeopathy. There are over 13,4003 articles on homeopathy, including more than 9,500 clinical studies. Basic studies (plant, animal and in-vitro) and pharmaco-epidemiological studies are also published.
A response to public health challenges
One of the safest and most reliable therapies for patients, homeopathy also meets the major public health challenges defined by the World Health Organization.
- It can be used as a preventive treatment for numerous pathologies.
- It helps combat antibiotic resistance.
- It is unlikely to cause drug interactions, and is suitable for polymedicated patients.
- It limits drug overconsumption.
Respectful of the individual, homeopathy is also a responsible choice for the community.
We all need to be able to treat ourselves without harming or polluting ourselves. This need for effectiveness and naturalness, in harmony with our environment, is at the heart of our vision of health. We manufacture homeopathic medicines that are prescribed or recommended by healthcare professionals, and which can be used to treat all patients, from the youngest to the oldest: pregnant women, children, the elderly... With homeopathy, we believe that each person is unique.
INTEGRATIVE, HUMAN-CENTRED MEDICINE
Integrative medicine, the medicine that brings all medicines together
Today, health is defined not just as the absence of disease, but as a complete state of physical, mental and social well-being. Medicine must evolve towards an approach focused on the individual, thanks to personalized care. In synergy with conventional medicine, complementary approaches are increasingly used throughout the world. They respond to the need to care for patients in addition to treating them.
In this context, integrative medicine represents the natural evolution of the medical model. This concept brings together conventional and complementary medicine in a coordinated approach. Integrative medicine is evidence-based in terms of the efficacy and safety of the proposed methods. Furthermore, it considers each patient to be unique. They are the actors in their own health. Their lifestyle, diet, physical activity and well-being are taken into account, as are their culture and beliefs.
Homeopathy, an integrative medicine therapeutic approach
Homeopathy is the embodiment of integrative medicine, as it shares its principles and model of care. It is part of complementary medicine. It helps patients to improve their quality of life, while empowering them to take charge of their own health. Homeopathy corresponds to both the need to treat, the “CURE”, and the need to care, the “CARE”.
All over the world, millions of doctors, homeopaths, pharmacists, midwives, dentists and veterinary surgeons see the safety, usefulness and effectiveness of homeopathic medicines every day. More than ever, humanity needs a medicine that is rich in its different opinions, diversified, plural and integrated!
