My name is Lucinda Lamontagne and my background is in science and in education. I have been a practicing member of Le Syndicat Professionnel des Homéopathes du Québec.
(SPHQ) since 1990. This is the Only recognized and policed body of homeopaths in Quebec.
Homeopathy is a complete healing science that addresses both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) disorders.
Homeopathy treats emotional, physical and psychological disorders. Homeopathic remedies are non-toxic as they come from natural sources of plants, animals, and minerals.
Homeopathy is no a "New Age" therapy as some people would think, but in fact, it has existed for over 200 years. A German physician by the name of Samuel Hahnemann discovered homeopathy in the 1800s.
Homeopathy is a method of treating the whole person rather than a particular symptom and therefore it addresses the origin of the sickness. A typical consultation lasts approximately 1 ½ hours.
What the homeopathic remedies do is arouse a person's immune system to overcome sickness and restore health. Therefore in contrast to allopathic medicine (traditional medicine), homeopathic treatment does not suppress symptoms.
