Meet Maha

I am a registered homeopath in Ontario, graduate of the Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine in Toronto. I am a member of Ontario College of Homeopaths. I live in Ottawa, the quiet, green capital city of Canada. I am married and have two sons.

I graduated from the Faculty of Medicine – Cairo University in 1987. Then I finished my MSc and MD degrees in Pediatrics and promoted to Professor of Pediatrics in Cairo University. I worked in Kuwait for five years where I established a unique Pediatric Weight Control Clinic for the prevention and treatment of obesity and its complications in children.

I started my journey with homeopathy when I moved to Canada with my family. I found Homeopathy very interesting because the unique concept of homeopathic philosophy is the theory of vital force which is a spirit like energy which directs all aspects of life in the organism.

As an internationally trained doctor, I used to treat an illness by prescribing a medicine which produced opposite or contrary symptoms. But, in homeopathy, we will give a remedy which causes similar symptoms. So, we created a stronger similar artificial disease that overcome the weaker natural disease which leads to smooth, perfect and rapid healing.

A famous example in my field as a pediatrician is the methylphenidate hydrochloride or Ritalin. This stimulant drug used in conventional medicine as a treatment for hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. They have never been explained why stimulant used to calm an already overstimulated child. Simply, this is another case of “like treating like” but unfortunately, it is not used in homeopathic doses, so it produces many side effects.

The homeopath must adapt what is curative in medicines to what is diseased in patients. So, during consultation with me, we are working together to address the full mental, emotional and physical symptoms as accurate and complete as we can to choose the best matching remedy.

During my free time, I like making bags, rugs or doily by crocheting. The feeling of creating something from scratch is interesting for me. In addition, it also reduces stress and promotes relaxation.

Special Interests

My special interest is helping people with eczema and asthma in different age groups. In my practice as an international medically-trained pediatrician, I found that eczema and asthma are two major, common illness in children. The children have to take long-term treatment including steroids which may affect their growth. So it was appealing for me to help those children and their families to find a better, safe and gentle alternative of healing using homeopathic remedies.
