Unicist homeopathy: what is it?

Unicist homeopathy is a specific approach to classical homeopathy, based on one essential principle: the administration of a single homeopathic remedy at a time, carefully selected according to the patient’s physical, emotional and mental symptoms. This approach differs from pluralist homeopathy, which combines several remedies to treat various symptoms simultaneously.

The foundations of unicist homeopathy Unicist homeopathy is based on the teachings of Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy. He considered that each individual is unique and that their illness reflects this singularity. Rather than targeting symptoms in isolation, the unicist practitioner looks for the ‘simillimum’, i.e. the single homeopathic remedy that best corresponds to all the patient’s symptoms.
  • A unique remedy for a unique patient
  • A personalised and holistic approach
  • Taking into account physical, mental and emotional aspects

How does unicist homeopathy work?

The unicist homeopath studies his patient in depth to understand his terrain, his mode of functioning and his reactions to external elements. During a consultation, several aspects are examined:

  • Physical symptoms (pain, digestive problems, fever, fatigue, etc.)
  • Emotional symptoms (stress, anxiety, anger, sadness, etc.)
  • The patient’s lifestyle and habits
  • The circumstances in which the symptoms worsen and improve
  • Personal and family history
  • Rare, strange and curious symptoms, which help to determine the most appropriate remedy

Once the unicist remedy has been identified, it is administered at a specific dose, then the patient is monitored for a period of observation in order to analyse the reaction of their body.

Unicist homeopathy and acute illnesses

Unlike chronic homeopathy, which aims to regulate the patient’s condition over the long term, unicist homeopathy can also be applied to acute illnesses.
In this case:

  • The unicist homeopath seeks to identify the recent symptoms (and not the chronic symptoms) to find the remedy adapted to the patient’s current situation.
  • He observes the speed of action of the remedy and adjusts the dosage if necessary.

Why choose unicist homeopathy?

  • Individualised approach: Each patient is considered as a whole.
  • In-depth treatment: Tackles the underlying causes rather than the simple symptoms.
  • Alternative medicine: Without side effects and suitable for everyone.
  • Complementary to conventional medicine.

Unicist homeopathy continues to attract many patients and practitioners around the world, particularly for its natural and holistic approach. Whether for chronic or acute conditions, it offers an alternative to conventional treatments and an integrative vision of health.
