Homeopathy

What Is It?

Homeopathy was founded more than 200 years ago by the physician Samuel Hahnemann. Its core idea is to treat like with like. The remedies are heavily diluted, often so much that nothing of the original substance can be detected anymore, and they are usually taken as globules. An experienced homeopath chooses the remedies individually for each person.

My Experience

From October 9 to October 22, 2021, I stayed at the Hahnemann-Praxisklinik on Baltrum, together with daily meditation. In the middle of my hardest time, this stay did me noticeable good mentally. I came back stronger and full of confidence. That is also where I met Dr. Poppe, who has been my doctor ever since. As agreed with her, I take two globules every week. I not only want to stick with that, the globules are also an important building block of my therapy. Every few months I have a long talk with her. She supports me along my whole path.

The time on Baltrum, the calm, the conversations and the confidence helped me. Homeopathy is part of the combination that brought my turnaround in the fall of 2021.

Effort and Cost

Globules are cheap. A clinic stay like the one on Baltrum costs much more, and health insurance usually doesn't cover it.

New in Germany: Since July 30, 2026, homeopathic remedies may no longer be prescribed at the expense of statutory health insurance. Insurers may reimburse them as a voluntary extra benefit for the last time until the end of 2026, and not at all from 2027 (KV Baden-Württemberg).

My Conclusion

Homeopathy and Dr. Poppe's support are an important building block of my therapy. If you use it, see it as an addition and never as a replacement for medical treatment.
