What is Homeopathy?
Keeping healing safe, consistent and individualized since 1796!
Homeopathy is a type of natural medicine that uses highly diluted substances to trigger the body's own healing processes. It's based on the idea that "like cures like," meaning a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used to treat similar symptoms in a sick person. Homeopathic remedies are chosen based on a person's individual symptoms and overall health, with the goal of stimulating the body's ability to heal itself.
​
Homeopathy works by modulating the immune response to stimulate the body's self-regulating mechanisms, helping to restore balance and promote overall well-being. In homeopathy, we trust that the body will always use its most effective healing response to a given situation. By using medicines that can stimulate a similar healing response, we boost the body’s own vitality and work with it instead of against it.

At Prism Healing Centre, our Homeopath Chantell Lamondin (Tunney) specializes in applying homeopathic principles to all levels of care from acute issues extending into more chronic complaints including autoimmune diseases and cancer.​
How is Homeopathy Different?
Although we are different, we work with physicians and other health practitioners for optimal patient-centred care.
Homeopathic medicines act on our entire organism to stimulate healing - that includes mental, emotional and all physical symptoms. This differs from many forms of treatment in that we do not just consider the 'broken part'.
​
During a homeopathic appointment, we are interested in all the patient’s symptoms because we understand that symptoms are the body's only way of expressing the underlying disease. Each symptom is an intelligent expression of a complex living system that has fallen out of balance. We encourage our patients to speak freely about any problems, complaints, or symptoms regardless how small or insignificant they may seem. For us, nothing is unimportant. It is by paying attention to the totality of symptoms, physical, emotional, and mental, that we can discover the best and most individualized medicine for the patient. ​
Does Lifestyle Play a Role?
In order to heal, we need to change. Just a small pivot can yield big rewards.
Yes! A healthy lifestyle is crucial in any program to improve your health. Unhealthy living patterns cause many health problems and will only be helped by changing lifestyle.
Any form of treatments are most effective when you take good care of yourself. A healthy diet, regular exercise, plenty of sleep, and a balance of work and relaxation are an important foundation for treatment. If this is not reflective of your lifestyle now, that's ok! Supporting you through the process is how we move forward.
