Homeopathic Doctor Boulder


Homeopathy works with the innate ability that the body has to heal itself. It is based on the idea of “like cures like.” This means that a substance that is capable of producing symptoms in a healthy person can, when specially prepared in high dilution, bring relief to a person who is ill and suffers from similar symptoms. The remedies are special extremely dilute preparations derived from plants, minerals, and other substances found in nature.

The ability that the body has to heal itself is very great, but when this natural intelligence has become impaired, slow, or faulty in some way, the homeopathic remedy acts as a stimulus to the curative powers of the body.

If this sounds strange, consider the idea of vaccination where an extremely tiny dose of an infectious agent is used to get the body to respond to a future exposure to that pathogen.  The bottom line is, Dr. Barter has never heard a really convincing explanation for how this mysterious system of medicine really works.  She suspects it is a quantum physics thing, which isn’t her field!  She has seen miracles big and small on a daily basis over the last 10 years, so she uses homeopathic remedies with almost everyone.

Examples of conditions that respond favorably to homeopathic medicines are anxiety, depression, PTSD, fatigue, insomnia, ADD/ADHD, hot flashes, digestive problems, colds, flus, back pain, arthritis, memory problems, and anything else that can go wrong in the human body.

Dr. Julie Barter uses primarily homeopathic treatment with children, as they are very gentle and there are virtually no side effects. Children respond magically to homeopathy in many situations.

The philosophy behind homeopathic remedies recognizes that all symptoms of ill health are expressions of disharmony within the whole person and that it is the person who needs treatment, not the disease. Different people react in different ways to the same illness. The correct remedy is chosen not only on the complaint, but also on other factors unique to each patient such as temperament, level of vitality and energy, likes and dislikes, mental and emotional predisposition, and genetic constitutional type.

Homeopathic remedies do not interfere with other medications, and if well-chosen are safe for use even in delicate states such as pregnancy, old age, and childhood. Dr. Julie Barter specializes in classical homeopathy.
