Homeopathy uses substances found in nature, in very small doses, to stimulate a self-healing response.
According to a prominent international researcher in integrative medicine, Dr. Iris Bell MD, Ph.D., homeopathic remedies appear to serve as signalers or mild agitators that strengthen the immune response of the person who is ill.
In other words, homeopathic remedies don’t suppress symptoms or impair your body’s innate capacity to heal. Instead, they serve as a simple, stimulating signal to your sick body, a signal that helps you mount a more robust response to an illness or injury.
