Classical Homeopathy

Born in the Eastern German city of Meissen in Saxony, the physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann founded homeopathy as a medicinal science more than 200 years ago. Key features of classical homeopathy are the individual treatment of each case of illness and the law of similars (Similia similibus curentur: like can be healed with like, meaning that a substance that causes the symptoms of a disease in a healthy person may cure similar symptoms in sick people).

Therefore, a homeopathic doctor will assess each disease by a thorough process of questioning to evaluate the case history. The clinical picture of the patient is then compared to the toxicology or pharmacological description of a specific homeopathic remedy (drug picture). The more similar the two are, the better the self-healing process results are expected to be with the administered homeopathic remedy.

New patients with chronic diseases need to undergo a detailed interview prior to the actual treatment (first consultation and history-taking). This is a lengthy, but very helpful process. In acute cases or emergencies, however, homeopathy can provide quick relief.

Classical homeopathy is a comprehensive therapeutic system and aims to treat the broad range of symptoms. Homeopathic remedies are derived from plants, minerals, metals and also from animal materials. In their preparation, special procedures are applied: dilution and potentiation.

These are tested medicinal products within the meaning of the German Medicines Act. They are prepared according to the binding rules of the German Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia in licensed pharmacies and manufacturing plants, are subject to state supervision and are registered or authorised with the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM). What is examined there is the pharmaceutical quality, the purity and the safety of the remedy.

In addition there is the homeopathic proving: every remedy has previously been tested on healthy people. These provings are the source of the remedy picture that I compare with the picture of your illness.

What does “healing” mean in homeopathy?

“The highest ideal of cure is rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of health … annihilation of the disease in the shortest, most reliable, unopposed way …”

§ 2 Organon, Samuel Hahnemann

For a surgeon, healing means to restore physical integrity. For an internist, healing means the normalisation of body functions. In homeopathy, the “disease” is assessed in all its dimensions – mentally, physically and spiritually. Every mental state takes on material form; a negative state of mind may cause negative feelings that urge for expression and realization. Patients are therefore often not the innocent “victim” of their illness but active contributors to their medical problem.

Homeopathy cures similarities with similarities.

Telehomeopathy

Telehomeopathy refers to the homeopathic remote treatment of patients. As so-called “talking medicine”, homeopathy is particularly well-suited for remote treatment, for instance by video consultation, e-mail or telephone. If your trip to the office is too long or you are bedridden, you can receive treatment from a distance at any time.

Especially for new patients and for long-term treatments the following applies: please consult your primary care physician and authorise them to communicate with me. Without an accompanying physical examination, a telehomeopathic treatment may not succeed.

If you have a basic interest in telehomeopathic treatment, please give me a call or write to me using the contact details.

Children and the desire to have children

My own five children and my numerous young patients have given me a lot of experience in the treatment of different diseases, but also in learning how to care for adolescents. Acute diseases, a painful hematoma, chronic cough or hay fever and much more can be treated by means of classical homeopathy. Important to the success is the trust in the doctor and the associated willingness of the children who seek treatment. Caring for children gives me a lot of joy. Children sometimes find it difficult to trust someone new; developing that trust usually takes time and patience.

The cause of infertility is often an internal imbalance. In light of the holistic treatment approach this can be treated well with classical homeopathy. Whether deliberately treated or as a resulting side effect of a homeopathic treatment, many of my patients were happily able to announce the birth of long-awaited offspring. In some cases the homeopathic treatment accompanied In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).

Sports Medicine

Providing responsible medical support for professional athletes is a difficult task: on the one hand, constant performance pressure may increase the risk of permanent injury; on the other hand, minimal downtime is required. To provide outstanding achievements in sports is both a matter of physical and mental strength.

Classical homeopathy cannot heal a broken leg. It can, however, provide a valuable service alongside a conventional medical therapy and may contribute to optimising the physical and mental constitution of the athlete. My knowledge of both conventional medicine and homeopathy is particularly useful in this area. Numerous athletes of different disciplines have been entrusted to my care.

Beauty

What does beauty have to do with homeopathy, many people wonder. Quite a bit: the assessment of their own beauty decides in many ways how people feel they are integrated into society. True beauty comes from the inside, and therefore the treatment depends largely on the patient’s inner balance. The holistic treatment approach of homeopathy can provide valuable services here. As a mirror of the soul, the skin looks healthier – and thus more beautiful – than that of people who are plagued by fears, doubts and inner conflict.

Autohemotherapy

The extraction and re-injection of a small amount of your own blood, after thorough medical consultation, can minimise wrinkles in the face. The body’s own plasma, recovered by a centrifuge, activates tired skin. The treatment is well tolerated because the body’s own material is used, and it is largely pain-free by applying a numbing ointment. The effect usually lasts for one to two years.

This method is also well suited to treat hair loss, since the regeneration of the hair follicles is stimulated by the patient’s own material.

Hyaluronic acid

Where this method alone is not sufficient, I recommend supplementary injections with hyaluronic acid – a substance the body produces in sufficient quantities only at an early age. Unevenness can be smoothed for a period of one to two years.

Treatment with autologous blood and hyaluronic acid is compatible with homeopathy.
