"Similia similibus
curentur"
"Like cures like." The fundamental principle of homeopathy, established by Samuel Hahnemann in 1796, states that a substance capable of causing symptoms in a healthy individual can, in infinitesimal doses, cure those same symptoms in a sick individual.
-- Samuel Hahnemann, Organon of the Art of Healing, 1810
A 1 to 2 hour consultation where we listen to everything: your physical, emotional and mental symptoms. How you sleep, what you dream, what irritates you, what relieves you. In homeopathy, no two patients are the same, even with the same disease. The right remedy is chosen for you, not for your disease.
Based on the totality of your symptoms, we select the homeopathic remedy that most closely matches your individual picture. The potentisation process -- successive dilution and succussion -- activates the therapeutic properties of the original substance, making it safe and non-toxic.
We monitor your response to the remedy with regular follow-up consultations. Homeopathic healing follows Hering's Law: from within outward, from above downward, from more important organs to less important ones. Acute complaints improve in hours to days; chronic ones, in months.
71%
fewer psychotropic drugs prescribed -- with comparable clinical outcomes
EPI3 cohort study: 8,559 patients, 804 physicians in France. Patients treated by homeopathic doctors had 71% fewer psychotropic drug prescriptions for anxiety and depression, with equivalent clinical progress.

Ear infections, tonsillitis, cystitis, sinusitis that keep returning despite antibiotics. Homeopathy strengthens the individual immune response. EPI3 study: 50% fewer antibiotics.
Allergic rhinitis, asthma, atopic eczema, urticaria. Constitutional treatment that reduces immune system hyperreactivity without suppressing symptoms.
Individual approach to emotional suffering. The EPI3 cohort demonstrated 71% fewer psychotropic drugs with clinical results comparable to conventional medicine.
Insomnia, early waking, non-restorative sleep. Individualised remedies that act on the emotional or physical cause of the sleep disturbance.
Hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes. A safe alternative to synthetic hormone therapy, without side effects.
A 2023 RCT demonstrated significant superiority of individualised homeopathy over placebo after 3 months of treatment.
Homeopathy is one of the 7 non-conventional therapies recognised by Law 45/2003 and regulated by Law 71/2013. Homeopathic medicines are regulated by INFARMED and available in Portuguese pharmacies.
Biomarine Clinic complies with all legislation in force for the practice of non-conventional therapies in Portugal.
The question is legitimate and the scientific debate is active. What we know: the largest epidemiological study (EPI3, 8,559 patients) showed that patients of homeopathic doctors use 71% fewer psychotropic drugs with comparable clinical outcomes. A 2023 RCT demonstrated significant superiority over placebo in post-COVID fatigue. The "it is just placebo" argument does not explain these results in controlled studies.
Yes. There are no known drug interactions with homeopathic remedies. Homeopathy can be used alongside any conventional treatment. It is a complementary approach, not an alternative one. Never discontinue prescribed medication without your doctor's guidance.
It depends on the type of complaint. Acute problems (flu, gastritis, allergic reaction) can respond in hours to a few days. Chronic complaints (eczema, anxiety, seasonal allergies) require constitutional treatment of 2-6 months for the first clear improvements, and 6-24 months for consolidation.
Absolutely. Homeopathic remedies contain no toxic substances and there is no risk of overdose. They are particularly indicated for children with recurrent infections, where parents want to reduce repeated antibiotic use. The EPI3 study showed 50% fewer antibiotics in patients of homeopathic doctors.
At Biomarine Clinic we practise classical (unicist) homeopathy: a single remedy carefully selected for the totality of your symptoms. This differs from "homeopathic complexes" sold in pharmacies, which mix several generic remedies. The classical approach is deeper and more individualised, but requires a detailed anamnesis of 1-2 hours.
