How did you start your journey in Homeopathy practice?
When I was around forty years old and wanted to learn other treatment methods, I happened to learn that a homeopathy course for healthcare professionals including veterinarians was being held in Japan. At that time, I didn't know anything about homeopathy, but I was drawn to the medical approach that treats the whole patient rather than just individual diseases.
How do you integrate Homeopathy in your professional practice?
In daily practice, homeopathy and conventional treatments are used selectively depending on the patient's condition, and they may also be used in combination. The important thing is to save the patient animals as a veterinarian, and homeopathic treatment can often show remarkable results. Many animals have been saved by using homeopathy when conventional medical treatments have failed, when significant side effects were observed, or when no effective treatment could be found in conventional medicine. By incorporating homeopathic treatment, it is possible to reduce the use of antibiotics and other medication, which is also beneficial from the perspective of animal welfare.
