Kerti Homeopathic Wellness - Physical, Mental, Spiritual Therapy

NOW RELOCATED!

I was introduced to Kerti Therapeutics naturally - my long time friend and hair dresser Michele is married to the namesake Anne Kerti, and so naturally I made some inquiries while visiting the salon portion of the centre getting my hair styled.

Anyone who knows me, first off, knows I'm a skeptic of most things, and homeopathic remedies and the like do not escape that scrutiny with me. Firstly, there is no proven science to it - something pharmaceutical companies have no problem supplying, albeit they often fund the studies - and secondly anything off the 'norm' is not usually my forte either ( I figure if it was that good mainstream would have accepted it), but still an open mind is what I sought, and managed, I believe. Besides, more and more skeptics like myself are less and less believing in what mainstream medicine is feeding us, and seeking alternative healing methods.

With a little digging, I found that homeopathic medicine has been practiced for over 200 years, having roots with ancient civilizations as found in writings and also in native traditional treatments. In fact the members of the monarchy have used homeopathic medicine since Queen Victoria's era, and in the 1800's homeopathy was one of the best healthcare systems in North America! Typically, now, when all else fails, Anne will field a visit from a desperate person who has run out of hope or 'traditional" options. Because of this, Kerti Therapeutics often gets people afflicted with final stages of cancer or ailments traditional doctors are reluctant or unable to to treat like Lyme disease or Lupus.

She lost me in answer to one of my queries however, somewhere around "water having a memory" lol - Hey, I almost flunked biology! - but the bottom line for me was always going to be if it worked anyway - and the 2 pills of arnica given worked like a charm.

" It's a hard sell because it kind of goes against the grain of what people are used to. Like treating something with a poison. But we use such minute diluted amounts they are completely safe," Dr. Anne told me.

Now regulated, what a licensed or registered Homeopathic 'Doctor" does is create those dosages from the ingredients - like plants, minerals or animal products, including performing the vigorous shaking, and distributes them in pill form for easy use. They treat the symptoms leading up to a health issue, as opposed to directly targeting the problem, would be one analogy.

For example someone suffering from hay fever may get irritated eyes, a runny nose - same as if an onion were opened around them. As such, a Homeopathic Doctor might treat someone afflicted with hay fever in this way - with a remedy made from red onion, Allium cepa - treating a symptom to get to the cause. But first an intitial interview including a complete medical history review would be done encompassing mental, emotional and physical health.

In-house " Doctor" Anne Kerti ' the co-owner, along with husband Michele Scorranese, had been studying and practising homeopathic medicine for 10 years going to school to become certified and so is no stranger to the 'lifestyle' either, and lives by it including use of Reiki and yoga daily in her own regimen, as well as healthy eating. Dr. Anne is one of only two registered Homeopathic Doctors in Whitby so get her while you can! She also practices reiki, reflexology, and chakra balancing. Sounds hard! lol.

Before Anne could even begin a treatment, one would  be interviewed to gather a medical background history and other information critical to her for prescribing a remedy, or series of, to best suit you or your pet. This takes some time - up to 2 hours - but is vital in order to best treat the patients effectively. You would then need a follow up appointment in 4- 6 weeks to gauge assess and possibly adjust potency or change remedies. Chronic diseases typically take more time.

As you go, you can learn from Anne simple treatments you can practice yourself as well! Including everything from treating cuts and burns naturally, to travel sickness, tooth aches, insomnia, constipation and other common health afflictions and while you wait, enjoy the great baked goodies that are a fixture in the waiting area or browse the truly organic skin care products, or check out the salon, nails spa, holistic therapy, or Wynning Wellness while there.

I'm still a born skeptic but willing to give this more wiggle room now in my sea of doubtdom - especially when looking at the history of the results I've thus far been able to unravel - and the 'history' of corporate medicine. Plus my head ache disappeared! Ha.
