Homeopathy vs Allopathy – What Is the Difference?

Many people wonder what separates homeopathy from conventional (allopathic) medicine. Both are here to support healing, but they look at illness, symptoms and treatment in very different ways.

How Each System Understands Symptoms

Homeopathy:
Symptoms are seen as signals from the body, showing that it is trying to correct an imbalance. Instead of suppressing symptoms, homeopathy works with them, guiding the body back to harmony.

Allopathy (Conventional Medicine):
Symptoms are often seen as problems to be stopped or controlled. Treatment usually focuses on reducing or blocking symptoms for quicker relief.

Main Differences

Homeopathy
• Based on “like cures like.”
• Uses highly diluted natural substances to stimulate the body’s own healing.
• Treats the whole person – physical, emotional and mental symptoms.
• Aims to address the root cause, not just the surface symptom.
• Safe for all ages due to the minimum dose.

Allopathy
• Uses the principle of opposites – anti-inflammatories, anti-biotics, anti-histamines.
• Relies on pharmaceutical drugs, surgery and diagnostics.
• Focuses mainly on the disease and physical symptoms.
• Very effective in emergencies, infections, trauma and surgery.

Can They Be Used Together?

Yes. Homeopathy is safe to use alongside allopathic treatment because remedies do not interfere with conventional medicines. Many people combine both – homeopathy for gentle support and deeper healing, allopathy for urgent or critical care.

Homeopathy works with the body. Allopathy works against disease. Both can support health in their own way.

The Core Principles of Homeopathy

Curious what homeopathy is based on? Here are the four main principles that guide this gentle system of healing:

• The Law of Similars – “Like cures like”
A substance that can cause certain symptoms in a healthy person can help relieve similar symptoms in someone who is unwell.

• The Single Remedy
Only one remedy is given at a time so we can clearly see how the body responds.

• The Minimum Dose
Homeopathy uses the smallest possible dose. Remedies are diluted and energised to gently stimulate the body’s natural healing without side effects.

• The Law of Cure
Healing often follows a natural path: from within outward, from top to bottom, and from recent symptoms to older ones. This shows the body is moving in the right direction.

Homeopathy works with the body, not against it.

Are you new to homeopathy?

Curious what it is and how it works?

Homeopathy is a gentle system of natural medicine that supports the body’s own ability to heal. It uses highly diluted substances from plants, minerals or animals to stimulate a healing response – not by suppressing symptoms, but by encouraging balance from within.

Each person is seen as unique. Two people with the same complaint might receive different remedies depending on their emotions, physical symptoms and overall state.

A homeopathic remedy works by gently reminding the body how to return to balance. It does not force or suppress anything – it supports the natural healing process.

If this feels new or a little mysterious, stay with us – we will keep explaining it step by step in the next posts.

If you would like to learn more, sign up for our Home Prescriber Course where you will learn about potencies, remedies and common ailments you can treat at home.

We have over 30 years of teaching experience – you will learn from the best.

Arsenic, Belladonna, Mercury… and healing?

Sounds terrifying, right? Yet these are some of the safest and most powerful remedies in homeopathy. How is that possible?

Homeopathy uses a process called potentisation. The original substance is diluted and gently shaken repeatedly until no toxic molecules remain. What stays is the energetic blueprint that supports the body’s own healing response - without causing harm.

So instead of poisoning the body, these remedies remind it how to restore balance.

Curious how it really works? Or still unsure?

Join us on 8 November for a workshop where we explain:

• Why toxic plants and minerals become healing tools
• What “potency” really means
• How to use remedies safely at home
• Space for questions and real conversation

Only 2 places left.

Remedy Spotlight: Lycopodium clavatum

Essence:
Lycopodium suits those who appear confident and charming in public, yet can be controlling or irritable at home. They want respect and recognition but often feel insecure underneath. A classic picture is “angel in public, bossy or demanding at home.”

Main Uses:
Digestive issues – bloating, gas, fullness after only a little food, craving sweets.
Liver and gallbladder problems – heartburn, sour burping, right-sided abdominal pain.
Urinary issues – kidney stones, slow or difficult urination, especially in children.
Respiratory complaints – asthma worse 4–8 pm, rattling chest, cannot cough mucus up.
Children – intelligent but shy, fear of failure, may be bossy with siblings or mother at home.

Mind Picture:
Public vs private self – kind, polite, and well-behaved outside; impatient, bossy, or irritable with close family.
Fear of failure – anticipatory anxiety, lack of confidence before an exam, performance or speaking in public.
Need for control – dislikes being contradicted, becomes angry when things don’t go their way.
Emotionally sensitive – easily hurt by criticism but hides it behind pride.

Modalities:
Worse: 4–8 pm, after eating, cold drinks, tight clothing, being hurried.
Better: warm food or drinks, uncovering feet in bed, gentle motion, fresh air.

Keynotes:
Bloated abdomen with loud gas.
Craves sugar, sweets, pastries.
One foot hot, the other cold.
Right-sided complaints or symptoms that move from right to left.
“Angel outside, demanding and irritable at home.”

1. Trick or Treat… for Pets Too?
Halloween sweets are for humans, never for pets. Chocolate, raisins, and xylitol (in sugar-free sweets) can be very toxic for dogs and cats. If your furry friend does sneak something they shouldn’t, keep your vet’s number handy.
For the worry and upset that follows, gentle remedies like Nux Vomica can help with tummy upset, and Arsenicum Album for vomiting and restlessness.

2. Spooky Noises, Scared Pets
Fireworks, door knocks, and strange costumes can make Halloween a scary night for animals.

Aconite: for sudden fright and panic

Stramonium: for terror in the dark, hiding, or clinging

Phosphorus: for trembling and fear of loud noises

Offer a quiet den with soft music and reassurance. Homeopathy can be a gentle hand to hold them through it.

3. Costumes and Cats (and Dogs too!)

Dressing up is fun for us, but pets may not enjoy it. Watch for signs of stress if you do put on a costume or dress them up. If they seem uneasy or even snap unexpectedly, Belladonna can be helpful for sudden agitation, and Chamomilla for oversensitivity. Sometimes, the kindest costume for pets is no costume at all.

Patient: Vlad the Vampire

Chief complaint:
Terrified of being alone in his castle. Constantly seeks company but unfortunately tends to drain his guests of energy… and blood.

General symptoms:
• Tall, slim, with glowing eyes – magnetic presence.
• Always thirsty – prefers his drinks warm and red.
• Loves excitement – can’t resist a midnight party in the graveyard.
• Extremely affectionate – hugs last just a bit too long.

Mental/emotional picture:
• Open, friendly, loves people (sometimes a little too much).
• Frightened by thunderstorms and the thought of being abandoned.
• Can get anxious if his friends disappear… which they often do after dinner.
