Heilkunst is Dr Samuel Hahnemann’s total health system and is particularly effective in dealing with chronic diseases as well as mental and emotional health concerns. The German term Heilkunst can be translated as the “Art of Making Whole”. Heilkunst is unique in that it can gently and permanently remove disease to restore deep, long-lasting health. This dynamic approach to health views symptoms as the outward signs of our inner diseases and seeks to remove not only the symptoms but the underlying causes as well. It includes, but is not limited to, homeopathy.


What is Homeopathy ?
Homeopathy is over two hundred years old and is one aspect of Hahnemann’s system of natural medicine which is particularly effective in treating acute diseases. It treats illness by the natural Law of Similars, or “like cures like.” For example, the remedy that might be used to treat someone with itchy eyes and a runny nose (as in hayfever) is made from a minute dose of onion. The artificial disease caused by the onion overpowers the natural disease manifesting as hayfever symptoms and removes it.


What does Heilkunst treatment consist of ?
As Heilkunst is a total system of medicine, it goes beyond the use of homeopathic remedies for acute diseases. We begin with a look at regimen and set up individualised guidelines for healthier lifestyle and nutrition as needed. A protocol for drainage and detoxification may be established at this time in order to boost the immune system and support various organs.

With the proper regimenal support in place we can begin using homeopathic remedies to remove the major shocks and traumas known to impact your life force in such a manner as to create disease. You will be given guidelines to prepare a timeline or list of events to be used as a map for this Sequential Treatment. Once the timeline is completed, we will turn our attention to inherited pre-dispositions or miasms. These determine the diseases from which we are most likely to suffer when we do get sick and they are largely responsible for most chronic diseases.


Who can be treated with homeopathic remedies ?
Homeopathic remedies are made from natural substances under carefully controlled conditions by pharmaceutical companies and they are regulated by the Health Canada and the FDA. Because the remedies are given in a highly diluted form, there are no toxic effects. For this reason, homeopathy is a safe alternative for children, pregnant women and the elderly as well as anyone who seeks to regain full health and vitality.


Healing vs. Curing
One of the ways in which Heilkunst differs from other systems of medicine is that it recognizes the important difference between healing and curing. Whereas healing involves re-establishing balance and helps strengthen our system, curing is the elimination of a disease without another deeper disease taking its place. It is the removal not only of the symptoms, but also the cause of disease. Most alternative health modalities such as massage therapy, herbs, nutrition and chiropractic treatments are healing therapies.
Heilkunst is different from most forms of medicine in that it can both cure disease and assist in the healing process.


Health is Freedom
The goal and outcome of such an extensive and profound treatment is to bring the individual to sovereignty. As we progress toward a state of greater health, we find that we are able to think clearly and make healthy choices for ourselves because our diseases, fears or false beliefs do not dictate our choices.




“In the healthy human state, the spirit-like life force (autocracy) that enlivens the material organism as dynamis, governs without restriction and keeps all parts of the organism in admirable, harmonious, vital operation, as regards both the feelings and functions, so that our indwelling, rational spirit can freely avail itself of this living, healthy instrument for the higher purposes of our existence.”
