How do homeopaths treat the whole person?
Homeopaths have a great respect for the physical, emotional, and mental levels of the body, and their interconnectedness. We treat the whole person thereby affecting these three levels, rather than separating them and treating the symptoms separately. For example, the emotional stress of childbirth has a big impact on women and some can suffer with postpartum depression. This depression may lead to further physical problems. A homeopath will look at the complete picture, and take into account the cause of the depression, how that woman is feeling emotionally and any physical symptoms she may be experiencing at the same time. We call this constitutional treatment.
