What is Homeopathy anyway?

Homeopathy is much more than alternative medicine. It is much more than a natural healing modality or niche health practice. Homeopathy is true holistic health.

The word “holistic” is thrown around in the alternative health space as a trendy catch-phrase without regard to it’s true meaning. By definition, “holistic” means emphasizing the importance of the whole and the interdependence of its parts. This is not simply the replacement of conventional medicine with natural supplements or the treatment of symptoms with herbs instead of pharmaceuticals. This requires an understanding that each and every aspect of our lives and the lives of our past generations influence our current state of health and vitality. Truly holistic healing requires a different approach entirely.

This is Biblical. The Word refers to the church as His body – specifically, one body with many parts. And unity, completeness, wholeness is achieved only when all parts are working in holy alignment with one another.

“If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it (1 Cor. 12:26).”

 

Thus, if we are viewing health from a truly Biblical perspective – no symptom, no disease, no ailment can be treated in isolation. It is a manifestation of how the body is working holistically – a result of the interdependence of its parts. Practically speaking, anxiety cannot be treated by addressing that alone – we must take into account the full picture of all symptoms, all histories, all mental and emotional presentations because it all impacts the body and our current state of health.

This is the true nature of homeopathy.

At the baseline level of our physical being, we carry an electrical charge. Everything does.  The world “health” carries a charge. We see this in experiments done on plants. The same plants in the same conditions grow differently based on the different words spoken over them. That is because these words carry a charge. God spoke creation into being – His words carried a charge and created the world with energy.

While many of us understand this Biblically, we have not translated this into the scientific realm of health. Possibly because it is difficult to measure and prove – just like faith. But it works by the same principle. The baseline energy of our bodies, the way our bodies process the different charges we come in contact with, determine our overall state of health. The toxins in our environment, the way we were born, the substances we ingest or inject ourselves with, even and especially the thoughts we think – all carry a charge that nudge our energy one way or the other. Incredibly holistic, right?

Even the field of epigenetics has shown that it’s not so much our DNA that determines our susceptibility, but rather the intertwining energetic resonances within our DNA and how the expression of our genes change based on exposures and inputs. For example, the physical and emotional stress from your grandparents in the great depression is inheritable – or able to be passed down through generations.

This is ALSO biblical – we see the sins of the father extending beyond one’s own lifetime down to the third and fourth generations (Ex. 34). We are continually encouraged to make decisions in our lifetime with future generations in mind. Why wouldn’t our bodies be created in the same accord, with the same benefits – and consequences?

So how does it work? Well, to put it simply, because God made everything in nature with a charge, we can use those charges to bring whatever is out of alignment in us back into a state of health and wholeness. Homeopathic preparations are made through a system of dilution (adding water to a substance) and succussion (banging the substance against a surface). The banging releases the energy of the substance into the liquid and the liquid holds the charge. It is the charge, not the substance that our body uses. The charge acts like a signaling molecule, reminding the body what it needs and how to heal itself.

This is why homeopathy is the gentlest, yet most effective form of medicine. By stimulating our baseline charge to move back into alignment, we are supporting the body to heal itself. A single, well-prescribed homeopathic preparation has the ability to heal the entirety of a person’s symptom picture – from anxiety to eczema, autoimmune to allergies, even susceptibilities inherited through generations.
