Homeopathy: Like Cures Like
Homeopathy is a holistic approach to healing that is based on the premise of similia similibus curantur, which means like cures like. While the conventional (allopathic) approach to medicine today seeks to name a disease and then prescribe multiple types of drugs to control or suppress the symptoms, the homeopathic veterinarian sees the pet's entire symptom picture as their own individual expression of illness. The symptoms are clues that guide us to the exact homeopathic prescription that, when given to a sick patient, will stimulate a healing response in the patient and return them to health.
While there are certain homeopathic remedies that are commonly used for certain conditions, such as the use of Arnica for injuries and pain relief, each homeopathic patient is seen as an individual, even if they are suffering from the same illness. For example, in the homeopathic treatment of parvo infection in three different dogs, they each receive the remedy that matches their exact symptom picture. The dog that has become restless and is having bloody vomit and diarrhea will receive Ars. album, while another patient that becomes nauseous at the sight of food receives Nux vomica, and the third dog with a high fever, vomiting and mucoid stools receives Baptisia.
Homeopathic medicines are used to restore health in patients suffering from a variety of injuries, and is very effective in managing pain following surgery or injuries. Homeopathy is useful in treatment of acute illnesses such as kennel cough, parvo, colds, and other infections. One of the most valuable uses of homeopathy is in the treatment of chronic diseases such as allergies, itching skin, ear problems, kidney problems, vaccine reactions, immune disorders, and cancer.
