About Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a medical system that was founded in Germany by Dr Samuel Hahnemann, more than 225 years ago.

Principles on which Homeopathy was founded

The two most important principles on which homeopathy was founded are

1. “Like cures like”—the notion that a disease can be cured by a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people.
2. “Law of minimum dose”—the notion that the lowerthe dose of the medication, the greaterits effectiveness.

Sources of Homeopathic medicine preparation

Homeopathic medicines come from plants (such as red onion, arnica [mountain herb], , belladonna [deadly nightshade], and stinging nettle), minerals (such as zinc. lead), or animals (such as crushed whole bees). Homeopathic medicines are often made as sugar pellets to be placed under the tongue.

Homeopathy- Holistic Approach

The holistic nature of homeopathy means each person is treated as a unique individual and their body, mind, spirit and emotions are all considered in the management and cure of the disease. Taking all these factors into account a homeopathic doctor will select the most appropriate medicine based on the individual’s specific symptoms and personal level of health to stimulate their own healing ability.

Personalized Treatments

Homeopathic treatments are “individualized” or tailored to each person—it’s common for different people with the same condition to receive different treatments. Homeopathy uses a different diagnostic system for assigning treatments to individuals and recognizes clinical patterns of signs and symptoms that are different from those of conventional medicine.

Where homeopathy helps

Homeopathic doctors often see patients with long-term, chronic problems, many of which have failed to respond to conventional medicine, such as arthritis, psoriasis, allergies, sinusitis, PCOD/PCOS, Hypothyroidism, infertility, gastric, asthma, migraine, chronic pains, depression, eczema and irritable bowel syndrome and many other diseases.

However, as a system of medicine homeopathy is designed to treat the whole person and can therefore be considered in almost any situation where a person’s health is depleted. It can also be very useful in the treatment of minor ailments, from cuts and bruises to coughs and colds. A medical doctor trained in homeopathy will know when it is most effective to use homeopathic medicine, conventional medicine or a combination of both.

The homeopathic doctor consultation

During the consultation doctor will ask you questions about your lifestyle, eating habits and preferences, temperament, personality, sleep patterns and medical history etc. as it will help the doctor to form a complete picture of you. This picture will be matched to the symptoms of your illness in order to prescribe a particular type and strength of homeopathic medicine.

Homeopathy Medicine – Safe, Effective & without any side effects

Homeopathic medicines are safe to use without side effects. This means, when used appropriately under the guidance of a qualified homeopathic doctor, they can be taken by people of all ages, including babies, children and pregnant or breastfeeding women.
