Homotoxicology

Homotoxicology is another formidable word, used to describe a natural form of treatment utilised by homeopaths. The goal of treatment in homotoxicology is to detoxify the body and restore the body’s natural feedback systems.

It was developed by Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg in 1952 and combines classical homoeopathy with medical science.  A homeopathically trained medical doctor, he combined the basic philosophy of homoeopathy with its micro dose gentle medicines and advances in the scientific understanding of the biological regulation processes of the mind and body.

Practitioners of homotoxicology maintain that ridding the body of toxins is essential to achieving good health.   Therefore, the aim is to facilitate the removal of toxins and stimulate the body’s capacity to heal itself.

Each human being possesses an innate self-healing mechanism that can prevent and treat ill health.  Homotoxicology seeks to boost the self healing and remove harmful toxins. Patients are evaluated for presenting medical symptoms, diagnoses, history, lifestyle factors, and other issues related to body, mind, and spirit.  After a comprehensive analysis, homeopathic remedies are recommended to treat acute symptoms, build internal functional strength, and ultimately cleanse underlying toxicity which causes the patient’s ailments.

According to Reckeweg and subsequent homotoxicology practitioners, illness is the body’s defence mechanism attempting to deal with the adverse effects of homotoxins; which he defined as harmful influences of a physical, chemical, biological, energetic or psychological nature.
