Health Conditions Library
My Health Conditions Library covers a wide range of health-related topics because it departs slightly from the conventional definition of health.
My homeopathic definition of health is not just an absence of dis-ease. Your ‘Vital Force’ should be solid and robust.
The foundations should be well-managed and maintained. Good Homeopathic Health, to me, is not ever being ill but the ability to cope and recover when you are. Because I am a homeopathic patient myself, I know that minor ailments don’t often plague me, and when they do, I have the homeopathic tools to deal with them.
Health Conditions Library
My Health Conditions Library covers a lot of ground, and that’s because my view of health goes a bit beyond the standard definition.
For me, homeopathic health isn’t simply about the absence of illness. It’s about your Vital Force, that inner energy that keeps you functioning, being strong and steady. It’s about having solid foundations that you actually look after.
I don’t think of good health as being free of illness.
I think of it as being able to cope when you do, and recover without it flooring you. I know this from my own experience; I’ve been a homeopathic patient for years, and the small things that used to drag me down just don’t have the same grip anymore. And when something does come up, I’ve got something to turn to.
