Homeopathic Medicine Doctor in Roswell, GA

Homeopathy is centuries old and widely accepted across much of the world, particularly in Europe and India. The Royal Family of England has a long and well-documented history with homeopathic remedies, and for many years retained its own Homeopathic physician.

Interest in Homeopathic Medicine picked up sharply in the U.S. through the 1990s. National Health Interview Survey data puts current use at about 2.1 percent of U.S. adults in a given year, roughly 5 million adults and 1 million children.

The system was developed in the late 1700s by a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann. His aphorism “like cures like,” usually called the Principle of Similars, traces back much further, to ancient Greece and Egypt.

The reasoning goes like this. A substance that produces particular symptoms in large doses may relieve those same symptoms in very small ones. Put the other way round, Homeopathy holds that whatever causes an illness or set of symptoms in a healthy person carries the capacity to cure that same illness in someone who has it.

Substances used in homeopathic remedies are diluted over and over, a process called sequential dilution, and shaken hard between each step, which is known as succussion. The result is what homeopaths call potentization. These remedies use minute quantities of herbs, plants and minerals, and occasionally animal-based substances such as duck liver, chosen to prompt the body's own healing.

Beyond the Homeopathic remedies, a homeopath will always reach first for non-toxic, natural therapies. That covers diet and nutrition, herbal medicine, sensible movement, nutritional supplements, changes to daily habits, other alternative therapies, and a good deal of education and counseling, all of it informed by an understanding of everything that shapes who you are.

Homeopathic doctors treat patients across the board, but the Top 10 conditions homeopaths see most often are:

Homeopathic Medicine works to restore the body's natural state of health by supporting each patient's own capacity to heal. Almost any condition benefits from a conversation with a homeopathic medicine doctor, though some illnesses respond particularly well to the approach, including:

Mental wellness carries real weight in both healing and prevention, which is why homeopathic physicians treat mental health as a priority rather than an afterthought.

Homeopaths treat the individual rather than the diagnosis. At the first consultation a Homeopathic Doctor asks a great many questions and pays close attention to behavioral and physical symptoms, along with personality traits and emotional state. Expect questions about your personal life, because for homeopaths that is clinical information.

At your first Homeopathic Medicine consultation, Dr. Ravello goes through your personal and family medical history. Expect questions about current symptoms, stress and daily habits. Homeopathic physicians usually carry out a physical examination and may order lab work, and if she does, she will explain what she wants and why before anything is ordered.

What defines Homeopathic Medicine is the person-centered approach and the use of remedies. A homeopathic physician arrives at the right remedy by weighing everything together, and every remedy is individual. Two people presenting with the same ailment might well need entirely different prescriptions. How you respond to your dosage gets reviewed after a few weeks and adjusted from there.

Homeopathic remedies are aimed at the root causes of disease, and part of their purpose is building resistance so the condition is less likely to return. Given how extremely dilute the remedies are, there is very little concern about toxicity, side effects or allergic reactions to anything Dr. Ravello prescribes. The remedies come in several forms, including tablets, gels, drops, ointments and creams.

Dr. Ravello knows Homeopathic Medicine well, along with functional, naturopathic, integrative and conventional approaches. Her goal is consistently the same: the most natural and least harmful route back to health. She looks for root causes, and works out precisely what has stopped functioning and needs attention.
