What's in the Little White Balls?
You may have heard of Homeopathy as an alternative medicine, but did you know how common it is? Homeopathic medicines are used around the world by millions of individuals and are used in treating a wide range of acute and chronic conditions from headaches, coughs, sore throats, allergies, asthma, eczema, arthritis, chronic fatigue, to anxiety, depression, insomnia and much more.
Owners of Botanica Bazaar, Leilani Bishop & Bethany Mayer have used homeopathic medicine their whole life and continue to do so within their families.
What is Homeopathy and how does it work?
Homeopathy is a gentle way of treating illnesses based on the principle of like cures like, and has been used clinically for more than 200 years.
Like cures like implies that what will cause symptoms in a healthy person will trigger the cure of a sick person with those symptoms. It is a sophisticated system of using highly diluted substances as “remedies” to trigger the body’s self healing power by stimulating a precise reaction in the body against the symptoms.
For example, when you peel an onion, you feel burn and itch in the eyes, you may also have a runny nose. If you have similar symptoms during a cold, then a homeopathic micro-dose of the remedy called Allium cepa, made from red onion, can help to trigger your body to heal.
