Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a method of curing the sick, which
involves natural medicines and patient education. Homeopathy
assesses the whole person and focuses on disease prevention and
health enhancement. In addition, homeopathy is particularly
effective in the treatment of long-term chronic diseases, as well
as the prevention and reduction of acute conditions.
Homeopathic medicine has been practiced
worldwide for 200 years and plays a significant role in the
healthcare systems of many countries today. Homeopathy, an
effective and scientific system of medicine, assists the natural
tendency of the body to heal itself. Homeopathy entails the
recognition of symptoms of ill health, as expressed in disharmony
within the whole person, and that it is the patient who needs
treatment, not the disease.
Some benefits of homeopathic treatments include:
- curative
- holistic
- individualized
- safe, gentle
- non-invasive
- non-toxic
- non-addictive
- can be used in conjunction with regular
medicine
Homeopathy treats physical, emotional and mental
imbalances, including but not limited to:
- asthma, allergies
- chronic fatigue
- rheumatism, arthritis
- warts, eczema, psoriasis
- cardiac disorders
- multiple sclerosis
- insomnia, anxiety
- depression
The Toronto School of Homeopathic Medicine (TSHM)
was founded in 1994 in response to the recognized need for quality
homeopathic education. To accommodate growth, TSHM recently
relocated our administrative office, library and student clinic to
the Yorkville area.
Our professional homeopathy-training program is
based on classical homeopathic principles discovered and developed
by Samuel Hahnemann as described in his "Organon of
Medicine." We emphasize clinical ability in a creative and
supportive environment. Our supervised homeopathy training clinic
is open to the public, offering high-quality treatment at reduced
rates. Our aim is to promote the cause of classical homeopathy as
a prime method for healing the sick.
Creativity is encouraged in our students, and
central to the experience of learning is the joy of discovery. The
routine of work is thus transformed into willing service and
inspires self-discovery. Homeopathy promotes mental and emotional
flexibility and a growing awareness of homeopathic philosophy. As
we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, we also develop a
less prejudicial view of others and a greater appreciation of
humankind.
In order for the homeopathic profession to
continue to thrive in North America, only the very highest
standards of education and training will suffice. Our aim is to
maintain these standards of excellence.
