Why Herbalism is the Opposite of Homeopathy #7

Why I don't like to be called a homeopath, by mistake, because being an Herbalist I work in a way practically opposite to what Homeopathy is based on and both systems have pretty much no overlap at all. What is the allopathic model versus the homeopathic model, and what are the striking differences of both systems. Why I stopped using homeopathy, not because I have anything against it, but because discovering real, actual herbs that have a smell, taste, color and form are so much more satisfying and often also more effective or let's say appropriate in certain situations. How do we know which therapies are important for each health complaint and type of person? 
In this episode, we go deep down the rabbit hole, from the very subtle therapies to the most invasive the modern medicine has to offer, how to weigh if there are appropriate to use, because of course, invasive therapies like surgery, suppressive pharmaceuticals, chemotherapy and radiation also erode our health, but might be necessary to save lives. Why I don't like natural medicines to be called alternative or complementary, as if the currently dominant model of modern medicine would be a superior choice in any case, which of course it isn't, given the inevitable side effects. But also because natural medicine can do things for our health that modern medicine cannot do, and vice versa. So they are not interchangeable. This episode is a bit less practical, more meta and philosophical, but I hope you enjoy it, it's definitely a discussion worth having to deepen our understanding of health and natural medicine.
