Homeopathy for Animals: A Gentle Healing Method
Homeopathy is an independent treatment method based on the principle that “like cures like.” This natural law of similarity is at the heart of homeopathy and states that a substance that causes certain symptoms in a healthy animal can cure exactly those same symptoms in a sick animal.
This is how homeopathy works
Homeopathic remedies are not classic drugs that directly combat the disease. They act as a targeted stimulus that activates the body's own healing powers. By administering a carefully selected remedy, the body is prevented from eliminating the causes of the disease on its own. This fact makes homeopathy particularly effective in the treatment of chronic diseases, as it does not just suppress symptoms, but aims to bring about a deep healing.
Another advantage of homeopathic remedies is the absence of side effects. Since the remedies are administered in a highly diluted form, they are not burdensome to the body and can be used safely even in sensitive animals.
When is homeopathy used?
Homeopathy can be used for a wide range of ailments, as long as they do not require surgical treatment. It is excellent for supporting healing in acute conditions such as injuries or infections, as well as chronic conditions such as allergies, skin problems or chronic bronchitis (COB).
Homeopathic consultation
The key to successful homeopathic treatment is the collection of detailed information. During the questioning, the goal is to get as comprehensive a picture of the sick animal as possible. In addition to the main symptoms, details that may seem insignificant at first glance are also collected, such as the animal's behavior, preferences, or general structure.
Based on this information, the practitioner selects a homeopathic remedy that precisely matches your pet's unique symptoms. Treatment is always personalized.
Your role during treatment:
Homeopathy requires patience and careful observation of your pet. Acute illnesses often improve quickly, while chronic illnesses that have developed over time also require more time to heal.
During treatment, old, suppressed symptoms may temporarily reappear. This is usually a sign that the body is responding to the medication and healing has begun. Since each organism responds differently to treatment, close cooperation with the therapist is crucial. Your observations are valuable clues for continued treatment and the correct dosage.
