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.
