Classical Homeopathy
Classical Homeopathy is a gentle, safe treatment method that many consider the best medicine we have. It reveals your "state", or that which is your energetic foundation. An imbalanced state shows up again and again in your life on levels big and small. It is this core misalignment which can cause mental or emotional imbalances and eventually, physical illnesses. When your state is re-aligned, it can be a radical shift into powerful health and strength of heart that lasts, rather than taking a synthetic pill which merely suppresses the symptoms of a potentially deeper problem.
Homeopathy is also an excellent preventive medicine. It is incredible to find the remedy that matches you. You can get at the root of your state and balance it, which manifests in a healing on all levels. Your interactions with yourself and other people in your life can be more powerful, because you feel more like "yourself" than ever before, more centered, more strong.
Finding your particular remedy now can help avoid developing chronic health issues in the future, and yet the benefits are often immediately apparent. Getting your remedy simply feels empowering, and an exact match will likely keep you healthy for many years.
It is extremely rare to find a Homeopath who has both a talent for healing and a deep knowledge of the discipline. Dr. Paul Branch is one of them. He has patients throughout the U.S. and Canada. He has close ties with "The Bombay Group" of homeopaths, whom many consider to be the best in the world.

Origins of Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a holistic medical practice. It treats the patient, not the disease. As the patient gets healthier, the disease disappears. In the words of Socrates, "Don't just treat part of the body, for the part can never be well unless the whole is well."
The German physician Samuel Hahnemann originally set forward the principles of homeopathy in a book called The Organon Of The Medical Art in 1810.
The name "homeopathy" derives from the principle "like cures like". The homeopath uses extremely small dosages of a precisely chosen medicine to stimulate the body's natural healing responses.
Hahnemann discovered that a microdose of a naturally-occurring substance, such as plant, mineral, or animal product, which produced similar symptoms as he saw in the patient's illness, would in fact stimulate the body to fight the disease.
He began the task of recording the symptomatic effects of nature's substances which produce physical reactions so he could use tiny, harmless doses to help his patients. Few therapies heal as safely, gently and completely as these homeopathic remedies.
