Homeopathy in Naples, Florida
If you know anything about homeopathy, you probably have heard of what homeopaths call classical or constitutional homeopathy. The goal of classical homeopathy is to find the perfect medicine for you. There are more than 6000 homeopathic medicines, so often it seems like looking for a needle in a haystack. The classical homeopath will spend hours with you, then more hours combing through all of the medicines to find the “one” medicine that addresses your symptoms and constitution. Usually, only one dose is given and then you wait. Sometimes it can seem like a miracle occurred. Other times it seems like you wait forever to see if it worked. If it didn’t work, you are back to the drawing board. This process can take months. We don’t always have months if symptoms are acute or excruciating.
I train with Joette Calabrese in a method that she coined, practical homeopathy. This is a unique methodology. Practical homeopathy is much like our current medical model. Symptoms are assessed and one or more medicines are chosen based on those symptoms. The difference between practical homeopathy and modern pharmaceuticals is that homeopathy rarely has side effects or drug interactions. The homeopathic medicines actually work to correct the imbalance in the body, rather than just suppressing symptoms.
The difference between classical and practical homeopathy is that practical homeopathy uses frequent dosing and sometimes multiple medicines. Joette completed seven fellowships at the world renowned Prasanta Banerji Homeopathic Research Foundation Clinic in Kolkata, India. People travel from all over to be seen at the Banerji Institute. 1,000 people per day, seven days per week are seen and treated with homeopathic medicines. The Banerji Institute has analyzed all of the treatments for 7,000 people weekly over the past 150 years to establish what are now known as the Banerji Protocols. Joette teaches these Banerji Protocols as well as some of the other protocols she has developed over time.
This is the type of homeopathy that I use. Often, I will suggest homeopathic medicines to people that come to see me for acupuncture or functional medicine. I have seen these protocols used with great success in my patient population as well as in my family.
