Remedies | Of the more than 5,000 remedies available in homeopathy, the uniqueness of the individual drives ultimately which remedy is best suited. The raw material of a substance is diluted in a specific manner that removes the raw molecular structure of the substance while agitating the remainder of the solution into the remedy. The intensity of the remedy is determined by the amount of times it has gone through the scientific process of succussion and dilution.  Unlike conventional medicines that suppress ones symptoms, homeopathy remedies are proven on healthy human beings not animals.
