Actually, homeopathy treats people, not diseases. In homeopathy disease symptoms are understood as manifestations of a deeper, underlying imbalance of the organism which need to be addressed, rather than just suppressing the symptoms. In other words, the symptoms are meaningful to the organism and often an attempt of the organism to heal itself or adjust to certain adverse circumstances. For example, perspiration during heat is an attempt of the body to cool itself, a fever during an infection helps to kill off the invadingorganism, etc.

Homeopathy recognizes and respect each person as a unique individual, rather than as a disease. For instance, ten different migraine sufferers might receive ten different remedies, individually selected based on each person’s unique symptoms and personality.

In general, the range of conditions in which homeopathy can be helpful is very extensive, and include first aid and acute conditions as well as all manners of chronic illness, including allergies, asthma, digestive problems, neurological disorders, hormonal imbalances, auto-immune conditions such as multiple sclerosis, skin conditions, etc.
