People tend to throw Homepathy in with other holistic therapies, and I think it’s because of all the homeopathic remedies for sale in health food stores and online. People read a book and say “Aha, I need this or that homeopathic remedy”, and then treat themselves, and results are varied. But that’s not the same as going to a Classical Homeopath, who will sit down with you on the first visit and spend an hour asking about your general health situation and history, and then another hour and more asking about you - your personality, likes, dislikes, fears, food preferences, sleep habits and a whole long host of things that make you the individual that you are. Then, it is by taking all these things into account that the Homeopath spends time figuring out your likely constitutional remedy (and may have a second backup one in mind, in case the first doesn’t work). So this means that my given remedy was NOT for “allergies with asthma symptoms” per se, but rather for me, as an individual, having those symptoms. Another person with those same symptoms would most likely get prescribed a different remedy (there are thousands of them, all made from extreme dilutions and succussions of natural substances - animal, vegetable or mineral).

When I looked it up, it was very confusing. Naturopathy is a definite NO.

There was a list of Holistic doctors for TN and I saw the term Holistic and Homeopathy used together.

I might look into the list of doctors. Some of what I read said that some regular MDs occasionally refer people to Holistic doctors and work with them to help a person.
