One of the key principles in homeopathy is the difference between suppression and support.
Suppression doesn’t mean something is “wrong” or harmful—it simply means a symptom is reduced without addressing the underlying pattern that produced it.
In chronic stress states, suppression can sometimes push the system to adapt in less efficient ways. For example, when exhaustion is constantly overridden, other symptoms may emerge elsewhere—emotionally or physically.
Homeopathy seeks to support expression and regulation, rather than silence.
This doesn’t mean avoiding all conventional care. It means understanding when a symptom is asking for deeper attention rather than quick control.
Healing, in this view, is about restoring balance—not winning a battle against the body.
