Organ support
Homeopathy typically treats the whole person and looks to find remedies which fit that person but sometimes there are too many layers of ill health or a gentler approach is needed. This where Organopathy as it is called, comes in.
In homeopathy there are remedies which have a specific affinity for organs of the body. They are prescribed to give support, help to strengthen and restore function to those organs. This can be helpful for someone who may have multiple health problems, are taking different conventional medications, it can help to open detox pathways in the body and prepare for deeper treatment.
Liver: The liver plays such an important role in the body, it filters blood and removes toxins and waste. It processes nutrients and makes them into forms the body can use. It produces bile which is needed to process fats. It plays a part in the immune system by removing harmful bacteria and fighting infection. So a healthy functioning liver is a necessary part of good health.
Kidneys: The kidneys role is to filter waste from blood, regulate blood pressure and produce red blood cells. They produces urine to help remove uric acid from the blood and regulate fluid levels to maintain balance and stop dehydration. They also convert Vitamin D into a form that is used for calcium absorption.
Spleen: The spleen is part of the lymphatic system and is vital to the immune system. It filters blood removing old and damaged red blood cells. It stores blood cell and platelets to be used in emergencies like a haemorrhage.
Heart: The heart is a vital muscular organ which pumps blood and carries oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body. It is a major part of the circulation system, working with arteries and veins.
