In the spirit of St. Patrick and being green in our environment and our health, now is a good time to understand how homeopathic remedies are Ecologically Sustainable Medicines.

There are a number of ways that homeopathic medicines meet the requirements of a sustainable medical system. First of all, in homeopathy only a small amount of the original substance is required to create the remedies, this provides a vast potential for environmental sustainability. There is insignificant environmental impact and no question of over-utilization and the remedies meet the criteria for both renewable and sustainable while not utilizing harmful chemicals in the manufacturing process.

Second, Homeopathic remedies are not tested on animals or sick people. Instead, they are given to healthy people who willingly participate in trials and report back the symptoms they are experiencing. From there, the remedy can be given to people who are ill and the homeopaths can determine its effectiveness.

Next, by considering the nature of the remedy in the healing equation, homeopathy provides an outstanding model for understanding the dynamics of human sickness, diseases, and healing substances. Nature itself is the source of healing in homeopathy and evidence shows that it works on animals and plants, not just humans, thus the potential for large-scale ecological healing is significant. Once this is understood it’s easy to see the collective relationship between homeopathic remedies and global healing; reinforcing the value that extinction of species and the destruction of habitats is unnecessary and unconscionable.

Therefore homeopaths are in the unique position to contribute to the environment and care for their patients in a very synergistic manner and using homeopathic medicines, they serve as a catalyst for environmental healing. Since often times sickness arises from environmental factors, this is a very important facet. If we take care of our environment, our environment will take care of us and is able to heal us.
