Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine in which patients are treated by administering small and diluted doses of substances that cause similar symptoms to the ones the patient is suffering from.

Homeopathic medicine is regulated by the FDA, and is monitored by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and other scientific bodies.  It has many amazing benefits, but the 5 main ones are those that have turned millions of people into faithful believers of its healing properties:

1.    Its philosophy
Homeopathy works under the premise that any illness is the result of a weakening of the vital life force of the body.  Homeopathic medicine recognizes that this vital force can react and adapt to internal and external changes, and that negative thoughts regarding these changes are what cause illness to appear.  This holistic principle, the idea that sickness is an internal process of the body instead of an external force attacking it, is considered one of homeopathy’s benefits, because it empowers the individual by implying health is within the body itself, through the power of positive thinking.

2.    The human relationship
Normally, the relationship between the patient and the homeopathic doctor is very close.  During the first appointment, there is a very deep talk between both in order to understand the symptoms the patient presents, and also his or her lifestyle, emotional and mental state, and personality.  This profound knowledge is crucial for homeopathic medicine to work, and it turns the doctor into a trusted friend.

3.    The treatment
Homeopathic medicines come from plants, minerals, and other natural elements.  The fact that homeopathy does not contain chemicals shows its respect for the body and the individual.

4.    Its effects
Although it hasn’t been clinically proven that homeopathy can heal a person, more and more doctors in medicine are accepting its holistic approach.  This confirms that it is indeed effective and beneficial for the patient.

5.    Its regulations
The FDA regulates homeopathic medicine in the same way as it does with other medical disciplines.  There is continuous research being done in order to prove the medical effects and side effects of homeopathy, as well as the effect of taking homeopathic medicines along with other drugs.  There is no knowledge of homeopathy interfering with conventional medical treatments, the FDA is very careful at monitoring homeopathic medicines that have side effects, however, these are a minority, because they are very diluted.

Homeopathic medicine has become a wellness solution for millions of people around the world, and the same as with traditional medicine, the key to experience its benefits is to find a good professional doctor who cares to understand his patient as an individual and as a human being.

There is an Ottawa wellness center that does just that.  If you are interested in natural healing treatments and want to try homeopathy as a way to truly understand how your body functions and to substitute drugs that could be poisoning your body for something more in harmony with your organism, check them out, you won’t be sorry!

Patti Larson, a mother and author, wrote an article on “Pregnancy Today” magazine about her own experience of being pregnant and receiving help from professional chiropractic care.  “Pregnancy Today” is a nationally recognized magazine that prides itself in being the journal for parents to be.

Patti began by explaining her emotions and her husband’s when they found out they were pregnant.  She was in her mid-thirties and pregnant for the first time, which prompted lots of questions and concerns like: when would she feel the morning sickness, how long would she be able to work, would she be able to bear the pain during delivery and not cry out like a drama queen?  In short, valuable and normal doubts of every first time mom-to-be.

She clarified that she had a healthy diet and slept well, but she was far from being an exercise fan, in other words, she had great intentions but couldn’t commit to an exercise routine.  This is when she wrote about her rescuer, what saved her from suffering unnecessary fatigue, pain, and stress due to her changing body shape and wild hormones: chiropractic care.

Patti explained that she was accustomed to visiting a chiropractor prior to being pregnant, so the logical thing to do was to keep going.  Her chiropractor recommended that she schedule weekly appointments, but that she should increase them if she felt the need.

Her doctor, a chiropractor in Santa Monica, talked about why chiropractic care was so good for Patti during the pregnancy.  He explained that this type of care deals with the functioning nervous system.  When the nervous system is not overly stressed due to environmental aspects, possibly physical, emotional or chemical, the body is able to work in accordance to its particular genetic design.  If a birth is stressful, this will, in turn, cause stress in all the parties involved, and it will stay present until the nervous system’s stress is relieved.  Through chiropractic care, the body is allowed to manage the stress, helping future moms, new ones, and their adorable love bundles, to cope with life much easier.

Chiropractic care can really help during labor, stimulating the body when the due date arrives and passes, and nothing happens, prompting women to start labor in a natural way instead of letting a hospital use drugs to do it.  Patti stated that she not only continued with the care during her pregnancy, but also after she gave birth to her daughter Madeline.

To finish, she explained that Madeline received regular adjustments during her second week in this world and she never suffered from colic, ear infections, colds, or any other type of sickness before she turned one, which is the most vulnerable period for babies.

She confessed that many people are shocked when she tells them that her daughter sees a chiropractor, however, they also agree that she is among the most vivacious and active babies they have met.  Many people call her lucky, but she knows it is all in the adjustment!

So, follow Patti’s advice and confirm it for yourself, talk to a professional Ottawa chiropractor and discover a life without aches.
