With respect to chronic diseases, a plausible, testable, and refutable hypothesis is that all chronic diseases have a single underlying cause: the stresses that produce and maintain chronic inflammation. Such stresses include environmental factors of various kinds including those that disturb physiology and those whose absence is disruptive. In this editorial, both sunlight and contact with the earth have been mentioned as essential environmental requirements for health. A corollary to the hypothesis is that the thousands of so-called diseases that have been named may actually be an elaborate classification system of the various symptoms that can arise from a single underlying condition: inflammation.
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
This editorial from the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine cites several studies that show the importance of Earthing or Grounding in mainting health, and theorises that many chronic dieases result from imbalances in body chemistry that result in inflammation.The ideal is to live as close as possible to nature. In this Perth naturopathic clinic we follow this philosophy in advising our patients and use homeopathy as a treatment because it most truly stimulates the body's innate healing mechanisms.

It is easy to be loyal and dedicated to an elegant philosophy, especially one that leads to the effective treatment of patients with so many kinds of complaints.
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
Amy Rothenberg integrates homeopathy with what I call true naturopathy: belief in the healing power of the body, and living according to the laws of nature. Both homeopathy and naturopathy in essence have the same philosophy; but homeopathy as a system of medicine begins where naturopathy leaves off.
If the body cannot heal itself, and where just living according to the laws of nature is not enough, homeopathy provides the information the life force needs to begin the process of healing. See our pages www.cottnat.com.au/naturopathy-explained.asp and www.cottnat.com.au/homeopathy-explained.asp

As a homeopath I use the remedy Chamomilla, primarily for children's ailments, including teething, colic and earache. It has quite a specific picture. They are angry and irritable and can't bear pain. In its herbal form chamomile can be used as a gentle sedative for the stress of life and can be used by everyone, as an infusion in the bath or a relaxing tea at the end of a busy day
