Homeopathic Approach
• Homeopathy takes into consideration not just the disease symptoms, but the complete portrait of the individual to treat holistically.
• Just as two leaves from a single branch of a single tree don’t have the exact same vein pattern, no two humans are exactly the same
• Each person is unique; each person’s disease picture is unique; therefore each person’s treatment has to consider this uniqueness.
• Thus, 10 persons suffering from any one disease (like diabetes, liver disease, gallstones, etc.) may need 10 different homeopathic medicines based on their unique presentations.
