In addition to chiropractic care, Dr. Levine is a highly accomplished homeopath, following Hahnemann's tenets of classical homeopathy. As a graduate of the New England School of Homeopathy, she has utilized her skill and intuitive sense in the selection of remedies that create a powerful and safe healing response. Her approach has also been heavily influenced by the works of Catherine Coulter, a world-renowned homeopath and a wonderful dear friend and colleague.
HOMEOPATHY
Using homeopathy, Dr. Levine takes an in depth history that addresses the patient's physical and emotional concerns. The consultation delves into many aspects of the person's health, personality, habits, likes and dislikes. Essentially, it tries to paint a picture of the totality of the patient that leads to the appropriate remedy. These remedies, which have been around for hundreds of years, are natural substances that stimulate a person’s own inherent healing powers. Remedies are like people; they have their own personalities and peculiar characteristics. The goal of the interview is to pair the patient with the best matching remedy, each sharing similar symptoms and tendencies.
According to homeopathic principles, a symptom such as a specific pain or even an emotional upset is not considered an illness. Rather, it is considered a manifested imbalance within the patient.One person may experience a cold with chills, a sniffle and irritability, while another person will experience the same cold with a headache, sore throat, and sadness.Everyone has a unique way of expressing themselves, just as their vital force has an individual way of manifesting dis-ease. By utilizing homeopathic principles, these imbalances can be corrected.
I have personally found that homeopathy is an amazing tool which restores balance and the natural vital force that lives within us. People of all ages benefit immensely from homeopathic treatment. Children are especially responsive as they have a pure and clear physiology. They are a total joy to treat and it is wonderful that they can be helped with natural methods instead of strong and potentially harmful drugs!
A RECENT CASE...
A beautiful, sweet and very articulate 10 year old girl, who we will call Lily, came to me with intense anxiety regarding her health. Her mom was at the point where she was seriously entertaining the thought of putting her precious child on anti-anxiety medication. Lily's problem was that she was afraid to be left alone, leaving her mom, and sleeping over her best friend's house because she was convinced that she would get sick. As our discussion progressed, she told me that she had thoughts of killing herself and hurting other people. Anxiety, depression, and even suicide are not uncommon issues that I see with children today, and this case was a perfect opportunity to showcase the power of homeopathy. After a homeopathic consultation and a deep connection with Lily's heart and mind, I prescribed a specific homeopathic remedy which I felt would dramatically help this sensitive and frightened child. Happily, Lily responded quickly to the remedy and was freed of her anxiety and self destructive thoughts. She is now pursuing her fun passions and having sleep-overs at her friends' slumber parties! Hoorray!!!
