Homeopath, Mary Nuñez, BSN, D.Hom

Mary Nuñez is a certified classical homeopath. She received her training from a 3 year program at the Los Angeles School of Homeopathy. Before practicing homeopathy, Mary worked as a registered nurse for 15 years in the Pasadena area, having received her bachelors degree in science in nursing from Loyola University, Chicago. Her experience in western medicine brings her a unique perspective into modern day medicine and the potential role for homeopathy to aid in patients achieving their individual health goals.

Her journey into homeopathy began years ago when searching for answers to her daughter’s health issues. Frustrated with the western system that did not address the core problem, she tried homeopathy and watched her daughters transformation back to health.

Homeopathy is a form of medicine that has been around for over 200 years. It treats the patient on the emotional, physical and mental realms as these components are all connected in the health of an individual. Homeopathy is based off of the Law of Similars. This means that a remedy that produces symptoms in a healthy person will cure those same symptoms when manifested by a person in a diseased state. When a person has symptoms including anxiety, sleep disorders, or heart palpitations, this is the body communicating that it is not in a balanced state. A homeopath collects the unique symptoms of the individual person and matches them with a remedy that is most similar in symptoms produced. A homeopathic remedy is used to stimulate the person to heal himself. Mary is privileged to work in a practice that offers choices to patients in their search for health.

Alternative Medicine Glossary

What is homeopathy?

Homeopathy, also known as homeopathic medicine, is a medical system that was developed in Germany more than 200 years ago. It’s based on two unconventional theories: “Like cures like” and “Law of minimum dose.”

Homeopathy is an energetic medicine made from sources of nature. Homeopathic treatments are individualized or tailored to each person—it’s common for different people with the same condition to receive different treatments.

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a form of treatment that involves inserting very thin needles through a person’s skin at specific points on the body, to various depths. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, acupuncture is being used for overall wellness, including stress management.

How is an Integrative Pediatrician different from other pediatricians?

Integrative pediatrics blends holistic, complementary, and alternative care with conventional care. It supports the innate capacity of the human mind, body, and spirit to heal, while empowering individuals, families, and communities.

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurvedic medicine (“Ayurveda” for short) is one of the world’s oldest holistic (“whole-body”) healing systems. It was developed more than 3,000 years ago in India.

Ayurveda based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit. Its main goal is to promote good health, not fight disease. Ayurvedic treatments may be geared toward specific health problems.
