Nanak Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a safe, effective system of Western medicine, used by millions of people worldwide for over 200 years. Homeopathy is the second most widely used medical therapy in the world. Homeopathic medicines are safe for infants, children, pregnant women and the elderly and produce no side-effects or interactions with pharmaceutical or herbal medications. Homeopathy is not naturopathy or herbal medicine. It is a unique system of medicine developed by a German Samuel Hahnemann physician named Samuel Hahnemann in the early 1800s. Hahnemann founded this system of medicine based on the principle that a disease with a given set of symptoms can be cured by a medicine (remedy) which is known to produce a similar set of symptoms in healthy individuals. The remedy is prescribed in the minimum dosage required to bring about (stimulate) healing. This principle where “like cures like” is called “The Law of Similars” and is the foundation of Homeopathic Medicine. Homeopathy involves the selection and prescription of a remedy (made from individual, natural substances – plant, animal or mineral in origin) which through prior testing on healthy people and from clinical experience and observation, is known to produce a similar symptom picture to that of the patient. Homeopathic medicines are assessed by Health Canada. The product label bears a product licence number preceded by the distinct letters DIN-HM. The product licence number on the label informs consumers that the product has been reviewed and approved by Health Canada for safety and efficacy. The “Homeopathy Act, 2007” was passed by provincial parliament in June, 2007, making homeopathy a regulated health profession in Ontario.
