What is homotoxicology?
Homotoxicology integrates the treatment principles of homeopathy with the diagnostic approach of conventional medicine. The goal of treatment in homotoxicology is to detoxify the body, including the intracellular matrix, and restore the body's natural biorhythms. Homotoxicology maintains that health cannot be achieved without ridding the body of toxins. According to this therapeutic model, the type and severity of an illness are determined by the duration and intensity of toxin loading in relationship to the body's inherent capacity for detoxification. Homotoxicology involves using homeopathic remedies to facilitate the removal of toxins and stimulate the body's capacity to heal itself.
What are the potential benefits of homotoxicology?
Some of the goals of homotoxicology include treating acute symptoms, building internal functional strength, and ultimately cleansing the underlying toxicity causing the patient's ailments.
What is the history of homotoxicology?
Homotoxicology was developed in Germany during the 1930s by Dr. Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg, a naturopath and homeopath.
