About Homeopathy

Homeopathy: Personalized Healthcare

You are a unique person, so why would you want an “industrialized” solution to your problems?

Homeopathy can provide you with personalized solutions to your medical problems.

Didi Pershouse, homeopath and acupuncturist at the Two Rivers Clinic, has providing high quality, one-on-one healthcare since 1993. In an in-depth interview lasting 2-3 hours, she will carefully listen to the unique details of how you experience your symptoms and match this information with a treatment that will gently and permanently remove the pattern causing the illness. At the end of the interview, people say things like

  • “No one has ever listened to me so well in my life.”
  • “I wish my M.D. spent that much time with me.”
  • “I feel like you completely understood my problem.”
  • “I learned a lot from this process myself.”

Seven Good Reasons to Try Homeopathy

  1. Homeopathy will not interfere with the medications you are taking, though it could help you to get off of them safely.
  2. Homeopathy does not suppress your symptoms like many other medications.
  3. Homeopathy treats the root of the illness, and rids the body of the pattern causing you to feel unwell.
  4. Homeopathic medicines are inexpensive.
  5. Homeopathy is “slow” medicine: a homeopath will take the time to listen, and carefully find a remedy that will treat the underlying pattern.
  6. Homeopathy is one of the most ecologically sound forms of medicine in the world.
  7. You could be feeling a whole lot better than you are right now.

Some Common Questions

What are homeopathic remedies and why are they safe?
Homeopathic remedies are made from a variety of natural substances which are prepared by various stages of dilution and succussion to create a more deeply-acting medicine without the side effects of the original substance. They are safe even when combined with pharmaceutical medicines because they are no longer acting on the chemical pathways that pharmaceutical and herbal medicines travel.

What happens in a homeopathic interview?
The initial interview consists of simple questions revolving around the main complaint, as well as other aspects of the person’s life. The questions are designed to elicit information at many levels: the clinical history, the symptoms, the emotional feelings, the sensations in the body, the images that come to mind, and the actual patterns of the illness as it moves through the body.

By listening carefully, and observing a person’s gestures and energy in a two-to-three hour interview, Didi Pershouse works to discover the pattern underlying all of a person’s symptoms. She then matches that pattern with a natural substance, and gives the remedy in homeopathic form for a deep and lasting cure.

What happens next?
Follow up visits generally are scheduled every four to eight weeks, for an hour or less. For those needing closer care, or health counseling, visits can be scheduled as needed. Phone consultations are possible for those at a distance, though in-person visits are recommended for the first visit.

 

What Does Homeopathy Treat?

EPIDEMIC ILLNESS: Homeopathy has had, and continues to have, a long and successful record of use in epidemic illnesses throughout the world—such as influenza, pertussis, malaria, cholera, typhoid fever, and more.

CHRONIC ILLNESS: Homeopathy can succeed where standard care falls short: in migraines, irritable bowel, asthma, allergies, ITP, chronic fatigue, Lyme disease, fibromyalgia and other difficult to treat issues.

WOMEN’S HEALTH: Infertility, pre-menstrual syndrome, menstrual disorders, as an aid during pregnancy and childbirth, and to ease the changes of menopausal shifts.

CHILDREN’S HEALTH: Mothers are the #1 health-care-delivery system, and with a little guidance, homeopathic remedies can be used at home to safely treat fevers, colds, sore throats, bumps, nosebleeds, etc. A professional homeopath can help when children’s symptoms linger, and for chronic problems like asthma, and allergies. Homeopathy has had excellent results helping to draw out and calm autistic children, as well as those with ADD/ADHD and other behavioral disorders.

MENTAL and EMOTIONAL DISORDERS: Homeopathy can be extremely useful in getting off of antidepressants, and treating anxiety, bipolar disorder, and other mood disorders. Homeopathy can help to relax the nervous system and reduce nightmares in PTSD.

FIRST AID: Homeopathy has saved lives in cases of allergic reactions to bee stings, where other emergency care was unavailable. It can speed healing time from broken bones, sprains, and concussions, and treat a wide variety of acute problems.

POST-SURGICAL RECOVERY: Many surgeons now use homeopathic medicines before and after surgery to reduce bruising and speed recovery times.

ADDICTIONS: Homeopathy can be used in conjunction with counseling and 12-step programs to help change the physical and emotional patterns that form the basis of addictions such as alcoholism, drug addiction, smoking, overeating, and other compulsive behaviors.
