Testimonial

"Dr. Ostroff has provided me with chiropractic care for many years and I”ve told her that her care is part of my health maintenance plan.

Recently I also began taking homeopathic remedies prescribed by Dr. Ostroff. I have been very allergic for many years including air born pollens and dust, and food allergies. The result was a loss of sense of smell. Dr Ostroff’s analysis and recommended remedies have helped me regain my sense of smell and I experienced significant relief from severe headache and sinus distress related to another allergic reaction. I also had improved endurance.

Recently, I woke up with severe laryngitis. I had a very important presentation to give for my job the following day and I was panicked. I hesitated to call Dr. Ostroff’s office since I couldn’t make a sound, but luckily Dr. Ostroff called me back and I croaked my problem over the phone. She quickly reviewed my symptoms and recommended a remedy that gave immediate relief, allowing my voice to return, and allowing me to successfully fulfill my work obligation. It certainly relieved my stress over the laryngitis and responsibility to my job.

I thank Dr. Ostroff for her care and patience."!


Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a system of medicine that shares one basic characteristic with conventional pharmacology: the practice of treating disease by introducing certain chemical substances into the body. But beyond this any similarity ends. Pharmacology relies on relatively large amounts of synthetic drugs intended to bring about physiological or biochemical changes directly, in order to treat a disease. By contrast, homeopathy uses extremely small amounts of natural compounds that treat disease indirectly, by stimulating the body to heal itself.

Homeopathy has existed as a clearly defined, organized methodology for nearly 200 years. It is extremely popular in Europe and is beginning to attract greater interest in the US, in part because of the safe and gentle way that homeopathic medicines work. These medicines employ the principal of "like cures like." A given illness is treated with minute amounts of a substance which, in greater concentration, would actually cause the symptoms it helps to cure.

Homeopathy is holistic therapy. The practitioner considers the patient as a whole, not merely as a set of symptoms that constitutes a disease. Rather, the symptoms are seen as a reflection of something being out of balance in the body. For instance, an outbreak of eczema may be the result of emotional stress due to a child spending his or her first night away from home. A practitioner of conventional medicine would only look at the presenting symptoms and prescribe a topical steroid cream to suppress the eruption. A homeopath would examine the stress that preceded the symptoms, to help find a solution better able to address the root cause.

In addition to this classical or constitutional form of homeopathy, I also use a line of biological medicines called spagyric and immune metabolic remedies which are combinations of herbal and homeopathic medicines.
