Homeopathy
Homeopathic Medicine is a 200-year-old system of therapeutics that incorporates “like cures Like” form of natural healing. The underlying theory is that of potentization: diluting and agitating shaking an ingredient to activate its properties.
Monarch Practitioners
At Monarch Integrative Health our Homeopathic practitioner will work with you to choose a remedy (plant, animal, or mineral) that supports, not suppresses symptoms. The “like cures like” Law states that a substance that can cause a “sickness” in a healthy person can help restore health to a person suffering from a similar “sickness”
Homeopathy recognizes the Totality of Symptoms which means that each person (no two people) even though they are diagnosed with the same illness will exhibit “sickness” uniquely and differently. Whereby, conventional medicine prescribes treatments based on a diagnosis. You are given a minimum dose to gently stimulate the body’s healing response.
Classical vs. Combination Homeopathy
Classical homeopathy is giving only one remedy at a time based on the principles of the law of Similarity, Minimum dose, and Totality of symptoms. Combination remedies are homeopathic products that combine several different homeopathic remedies. Each remedy is placed in a combination dosage to support the body as it heals t through certain conditions. These combination remedies are often used for simple acute conditions but the combination does not constitute classical homeopathy.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), homeopathy is the second largest medical system for primary health care in the world. It is prevalent and widely accepted in many parts of the world including Europe, where over 100 million people use it regularly. In America, during the early 1900s, the most prestigious medical schools in this country were homeopathic.
Treatment and Monarch
Treatment at Monarch generally begins with a consultation, where the patient describes their medical history. The patient describes the “modalities” or if their symptoms change depending on the weather and other external factors. Your practitioner also solicits information on mood, likes and dislikes, physical, mental, and emotional states, life circumstances, and any physical or emotional illnesses. To support your wellness plan, we could prescribe traditional and/or homeopathic remedies.
I have met with Franca Gardner twice in the last 4 months and feel I made the right choice for a partner in my healing journey. Her evaluation was thorough and I felt she listened with both her heart and her bright mind. She provided written notes with a clear plan of action. I know the steps I need to take and I feel supported. She was quick to call me back when I had questions. I highly recommend Monarch Integrative Health and Franca Gardner for quality functional medicine.
Franca is AMAZING!!!! I left our last appointment feeling very confident that we’re on the right track. I haven’t felt like that in so long! My stomach hurts all the time, and I was starting to think I would have to just live with it. I am SO grateful for Franca’s expertise and commitment to helping me better my gut health.
Franca was exactly what I needed when my hormone issues were not being resolved with my general practitioner or OBGYN. I had been told countless times that I shouldn’t be having issues at my age and was put on birth control. Franca took the time to listen to me and let me choose which course of treatment I would like to pursue. Her knowledge and empathetic approach made me feel hopeful that I can get back to normal when I had lost faith in the medical field. Thank you!
