Homotoxicology
Homotoxicology is a treatment regime that uses potentised remedies to treat specific disease processes. It is a simplified branch of homeopathy that has two aims of treatment.
- To treat the components of the greater defense system in order to optimise its ability to maintain homeostasis (balance) within the body as a whole and locally.
- To induce a so-called vicariation (natural healing trend) in disease, where the regulatory systems of the body are induced to shift disease from chronic phases into phases closer to healing and thus resolution of the problem.
Homotoxicology looks at the dysregulation of our normal physiological phenomena and the role they, the environment and the possible triggers of disease process play in causing the proliferation of disease. Products are developed to induce a state of regulation and therefore support the body in its innate ability to deal with and cure disease and thus also raise the general health and well being of the patient in order to make them less susceptible to disease in the future.
This mode of treatment offers new treatment possibilities for chronic diseases that have been found in past to be incurable. It also offers understanding to the phenomena underlying the role of chronic stress in disease and/or metabolic diseases.
