Homeopathy

The term homeopathy comes from the Greek words homeo, meaning similar, and pathos, meaning suffering or disease. Homeopathy takes a different approach from conventional medicine in diagnosing, classifying, and treating medical problems.

Homeopathy seeks to stimulate the body's defense mechanisms and processes so as to prevent or treat illness. Treatment involves giving very small doses of natural substances called remedies that would produce the same or similar symptoms of illness in healthy people if they were given in larger doses.

Treatment in homeopathy is individualized. Remedies are selected according to a total picture of the patient, including not only symptoms, but lifestyle, emotional and mental states, and other factors. Homeopathy is considered to be one of the safest forms of natural medicine and Dr. Colicci’s favorite approach for children.
