10 HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES TO HAVE ON HAND
Homeopathic medicine for pets is a holistic treatment using natural substances to stimulate their innate healing ability. Same for people homeopathy can be used to treat a wide range of certain health concerns, from skin conditions to bee stings, wounds or pain. Homeopathy's focus is on treating the whole animal with remedies that are specific, gentle and sympathetic to the dog or cat's needs.
It is based on very refined dilution of herbs, minerals and other natural substances, and can be a great alternative treatment option for pets.
Homeopathy views symptoms as the body's attempt to fight infection and/or adapt to stress.
Symptoms are viewed as the signature of that disease, rather than seen as a separate 'thing' to be suppressed and gotten rid of.
Homeopathic practitioners seek to work WITH these symptoms rather than against them by finding the right remedy which mimics the body's symptoms, thereby stimulating the natural immune response to the disease itself.
Homeopathy is based on the principle that "like cures like" or the Law of Similars. Which means basically that a substance that in large amounts causes certain symptoms in a healthy dog or cat can be used in small amounts to cure those same symptoms in a sick pet.
