A system of medicine that uses very tiny amounts of natural substance to stimulate the body's own healing response. In classical homeopathy, used at Bernal Homeopathy, one homeopathic remedy is selected for the person, rather than different remedies for different symptoms or conditions. This is done according to the like cures like principle, based on the totality of symptoms and the strategy of minimum dose, nudging the body back into balance. This process is always individualized, in terms of remedy, potency, and dosage.

Classical homeopathy addresses the foundational constitutional pattern underneath an individual's active trauma response. By conducting a detailed personal intake that reviews physical history, emotional wounds, and intergenerational patterns, we identify a single remedy tailored to your unique system. Clients frequently experience a gradual, unmistakable unwinding. Many clients report improved sleep quality, enhanced emotional resilience, and a noticeable reduction in the charge of old, automatic reactions.

A constitutional remedy is a single, individually chosen homeopathic preparation matched to your whole constellation of symptoms, meaning what is off from your physical, mental, and emotional baseline. Rather than addressing individual symptoms in isolation, constitutional care aims to support your underlying foundations of health. While acute relief can sometimes come quickly, deeper constitutional change is a gradual process of strengthening. Many clients are seen every four to six weeks, and meaningful change is typically assessed over several months.

Constitutional homeopathy requires an active partnership and a willingness to explore the deeper history behind your current physical and emotional state. This practice is not a good fit for individuals seeking instant symptom suppression or quick-fix management. Additionally, this holistic approach is not a substitute for urgent psychiatric intervention or emergency medical care.

Homeopathy is its own system of natural medicine. Homeopathic remedies are manufactured in FDA-regulated pharmacies, in a very specific way, of serial dilution. The ultra-high dilution made from substances is then coated onto a sugar pellet. When you put the pellet on to a mucous membrane (like under the tongue), the homeopathic remedy goes directly into the body.

Homeopathy is a system of natural healing. It is a subset of what most Naturopathic Doctors study in school. Homeopaths like myself have gone to homeopathy school, which is solely the system of classical or constitutional homeopathy, which is how the system of homeopathy was developed by the German MD Samuel Hahnemann over 200 years ago.

No. Homeopathy is a different system of medicine, utilizing sub-molecular preparations of substances, which can be anything including plants, minerals, and even animal sources, chosen according to a set of homeopathic principles based on the individual's totality of symptoms. The homeopath has to study materia medica for hundreds or thousands of homeopathic remedies to practice competently, and it is the homeopath's job to guide a client through the holistic natural healing process, which is dynamic and very different from conventional medicine, and even from herbal medicine. Some of the same plant medicines or starting substances are common to homeopathy as in herbal medicine, however the homeopathic medicine is very different in nature, because of the ultra high dilution level, which acts very differently than an herb, drug, or supplement.

Homeopathic medicines are made in FDA regulated pharmacies, utilizing natural substances, which are sequentially diluted and potentized. Bernal Homeopathy stocks remedies mostly from Hahnemann Laboratories in San Rafael.
