About Barbara Munkel

I'm a practicing professional homeopath, holding a Master’s Degree in Homeopathic Medicine from the International Academy of Classical Homeopathy, having the unique opportunity of studying with the world renowned homeopath and professor, George Vithoulkas. I have over fifteen years of experience as a classical homeopath. I am also a graduate of Villanova University with a Bachelor’s of Science Degree.

Like many homeopaths, I was introduced to homeopathy for personal reasons. Having been diagnosed with breast cancer at a fairly young age, and undergoing surgery and subsequent radiation treatment, my immune system was greatly damaged. The cancer was discovered on a base-line mammogram, thanks to a doctor who believed that a mammogram should be taken at age 35. This probably saved my life. Having no family history of cancer and being healthy in every other way, I questioned how I could manifest such a serious illness in my body. I recognized no warning signs, and modern allopathic medicine offered no explanations as to a cause, other than from the environment.

With an impaired immune system, every sniffle my two young children caught at school turned into more serious issues for me requiring antibiotics, which I have a history of not tolerating well. Being an advocate for herbal and vitamin supplements, I accidently came across something called Homeopathy. I was open to anything that would help boost my immune system instead of suppress it. Homeopathy did exactly this plus so much more.

In order to understand the medicine, I started taking basic classes with a local ND and then dove into intense study, practicing on myself and my family with amazing healing results. Within a few months my overall health and energy greatly improved and I began the journey to whole health using exclusively homeopathic medicine, now feeling even better than ever before. And my children benefited with homeopathic treatment, completely curing their earaches and other acute illnesses without the use of antibiotics, and in only a few days, rather than the usual 10 day course of treatment. It also stopped the chronic recurring cycle of illness because we became healthier.

In my profession as a regression therapist I began to use homeopathic remedies with several of my clients, especially with those people suffering from severe depression, post traumatic stress, obsessive-compulsive, anxiety and panic disorders. The healing results were amazing. With the use of homeopathic remedies, a person can wean off anti-depressants and other chemical drugs which usually compound an already weakened immune system.

I have continued my studies with the renowned homeopath and professor, George Vithoulkas, whose earlier books such as The Science of Homeopathy and A New Model for Health and Disease fed my thirst for classical homeopathic knowledge. I have had the great honor of earning my certification and Master’s of Science Degree at the International Academy of Classical Homeopathy, where I continue post-graduate studies with Professor Vithoulkas on the Island of Alonissos in the Northern Sporades, Greece.

As a professional homeopath, my goal is to support my clients through the rewarding yet sometimes challenging process to whole health.  When a person is truly healthy they can respond to all types of stress (mental, emotional and/or physical) with stamina, a more positive outlook, and greater self-confidence.  The immune system is enhanced, thus reducing the susceptibility to physical illness.  It is with great passion and joy that I practice classical homeopathic medicine.

I greatly dislike marketing, myself or otherwise, but I want to spread the word about the authenticity and healing power of Classical Homeopathy.  “Similia Similibus Curentur” meaning like cures like.  I’m just one of the many classical homeopaths here to help those who want help – people who are tired of feeling poorly no matter how many drugs are prescribed.  I’ll do my very best as a homeopath to get your body back to its own unique equilibrium and in the best possible condition it can be.  It can be done!  Believe it. 

"The long-term benefit of homeopathy to the patient is that it not only alleviates the presenting symptoms but it reestablishes internal order at the deepest levels and thereby provides a lasting cure." -- George Vithoulkas, Professor of Homeopathic Medicine
