Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) coined the word “Homeopathy” from the Greek words “homoios” and “pathos” meaning “similar suffering,” which expresses the natural law for curing disease (“law of similars” or “like cures like”). Just like the Law of Gravity, you know what will happen if you throw a rock up into the air. Even though […]

At Arcanum, the focus of our practice is on the assessment, treatment, and prevention of chronic illness. Our goal is to not simply eliminate (i.e. “suppress”) the symptoms, but to actually permanently remove the root cause. It is a deep, methodical, and highly effective process that we follow. The typical treatment plan involves a series […]

This is the German term meaning “whole art of healing.” It is derived from Dr. Samuel Hahnemann’s sixth edition of the Organon der Heilkunst, where the laws of this system of medicine were recently unearthed. We use the original German word as there isn’t an English equivalent that encompasses the full scope of meaning. Heilkunst […]

Although they both belong to the broader category of “natural healthcare”, they have very little in common when it comes to their modalities of practice or their underlying philosophies of curing and healing. Every modality and its approach to healthcare begins with a particular “organizing idea”, or worldview which fundamentally informs every aspect of treatment […]

When exploring natural approaches to health care, patients find that there are a number of apparent similarities between the fields of Medical Heilkunst and Naturopathy.  They both use a variety of natural treatments and remedies, and they both require a minimum of four years of post-secondary education, and are then governed by the rules and […]

The CoRe (Inergetix-CoRe system) is a computer-based radionics system that we use at the clinic for a variety of testing and assessment functions. The basic function of the CoRe is to provide an objective measurement of the flow of life energy in the patient, and more specifically, where and how that flow is blocked, or […]

What is a ‘homeopathic remedy’? This term is often used incorrectly, even sometimes by trained homeopaths. For those who have no experience with homeopathy, they may assume that it is just another way of saying ‘herbal remedy’ or even ‘natural remedy’, but it has a much more specific meaning than this. The other huge misconception […]

Homeopathic remedies are derived mainly from plant, mineral and animal sources and have been made the same way for over 200 years. Dr. Hahnemann, the founder of Heilkunst and the principles of Homeopathy, actually took a miniscule dose of the substance he wanted to understand the effects of and prescribed it to healthy individuals. His […]

A homeopathic healing reaction is usually experienced by the patient, on average, 12-15 days after taking the remedy. It is the body acting to restore balance after the remedy has expelled the blockage or trauma in question. In contrast, the initial action of the remedy can be likened to the moment a rock is released […]
