Homeopathy is the second most widely used system of medicine in the world. Its growth in popularity in the world has been around 25 to 50 percent a year throughout the last decade.
Homeopathy, from Greek homeo (meaning similar) and pathos (meaning suffering) is a system of medicine based on treating like with like. The same principle is widespread in mainstream medicine with traced back as far Hypocrites (468 -377 BC), but it wasn’t until the work of the German physician Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) that the theory developed into a usable practice.
Hahnemann’s work was continued by James Tyler Kent in 1877-78. Kent’s interest in Homoeopathic medicine was prompted by his wife’s serious illness, which failed to respond to any other form of medicine available at the time. Kent’s position as Professor of Anatomy (at the American Medical College, St. Louis) placed him perfectly to observe the effects of substances in precise detail. Kent’s research into Homeopathy became his life’s work, and he conducted proving on some 650 materials, observing over 64,000 symptoms. Even today, Kent’s is still the most widely used repertory in Homeopathy.
Hahnemann’s proving consisted in giving doses of various substances to both himself and his healthy volunteers and noting the effects in detail. The doctrine is based on the effect of drugs on healthy persons. When a drug is administered in large doses to a healthy individual, the symptoms produce, would cure when administered in very small amounts. The scientific basis of this hypothesis has not been seriously investigated since it was first postulated. The more dilute a homeopathic medicine is, the more effective it is in treating illness.
The Similimum is the single substance which if given to a healthy person would produce exactly the same symptoms as exhibited by the patient. Homeopathy takes this premise a step further: if your symptoms produce an effect on you similar to a tarantula’s bite, then tarantula venom would be your homeopathic treatment, even though you’re not actually been bitten by a tarantula
In addition to the range of symptoms which must be included in a case to find the right homeopathic remedy, precision is also important. For example there are nearly 5,000 headaches in our symptom database; for the generic category headaches. Headaches hurt. OK. But what is unique about how your head hurts? The remedy needed is the one which is similar to the picture that person presents. Finding the appropriate remedy has to take into account the individual a different remedy may be prescribed depending on when symptoms occur, the location of the pain , is it left-sided or right-sided ,over the eye ,at the back of the head ,is it better or worse from certain types of weather, mental and emotional states? What else is happening when you are experiencing the headache? Is it accompanied by bleeding, gas, belching, have you fainted? What else? When is it better? Is it better with movement or being still, how about if you take a nap? Getting the picture? There are many other types of questions that may need to be asked to elicit the necessary information, observation is also important..
Homeopathy considers signs and symptoms, not the disease diagnosis, most important for the treatment. Altered brain chemistry can result in mental/emotional disturbances and behavioral disorders such as hyperactivity, Attention Deficit Disorder, anxiety, depression, eating disorders (anorexia and bulimia), drug and alcohol addiction, autism and violence. This clearly indicates that the body and the mind are interconnected.
Before one develops any disease, the body undergoes many changes and the individual begins feeling uneasiness in the body. It is not uncommon to hear, “I don’t know why, but I am not feeling well”. At this very point, the “development” of the disease can be curbed through the use of Homeopathy, without waiting for the disease to develop completely. There is no need for the diagnostic tests on end products of disease such as pus, tumors and ulcers in order to administer Homeopathic treatment.
After all the tests, let us say, an ulcer is diagnosed. Some individuals with ulcer, enjoy hot drinks and others cold liquids. Some may have sinusitis along with the ulcer, whereas others may have Asthma. In this case, the body is clearly demonstrating its individuality and its unique nature. How the same medicines can treats all persons suffering from an Ulcer if each person’s body is of different nature and manifests different symptoms? (The disease diagnosis is identical but the signs and symptoms are different.)
There are times when the intake is not so exhaustive and at other times it is. There are certain paradoxes in homeopathy. On one hand you may initially spend a bit of time with the person and then afterwards, thinking and analyzing and making cohesive sense of it all, yet the properly selected remedy, can act very quickly.
Homeopathy is energy medicine. The remedies touch you, vibrationally. For the remedy to work, meaning to stimulate your ability to heal, it must come close enough, be similar to the condition that needs to be healed. Used skillfully and wisely homeopathy can do a lot towards fostering good health. Homeopathy is more than “taking a homeopathic remedy.” Homeopaths understand what is happening in the body/mind is through the symptoms that are produced in your body/mind/spirit. Being a homeopath really involves good detective work.
Homeopathic remedies are not herbs. Homeopathy is natural. Homeopathic remedies are normally based on natural ingredients,prepared mainly from a wide range of substances, herbs, vegetable kingdom, minerals and prepared from plants, animals, secretions of diseased tissue (nosodes) and healthy tissue (Sarcodes). There is also a class of remedies called imponderables; these are group of remedies that are prepared from light, magnets, electricity and X-rays.
The remedies are prepared via a process of dilution and shaking. Homeopathy has its own pharmacopoeia. There are thousands of homeopathic remedies in the homeopathic materia medica. The effectively of homoeopathy can be scientifically checked and positive results can be reproduced over and again. It works on the solid and scientific principles.
Homeopathy are 100% non-toxic, having no adverse effects whatsoever. Unlike antibiotics and other such medicine, homoeopathic pills do not hamper digestion; does not lower resistance power; does not produce allergy and does not harm even if taken for long-term. Homeopathy is extremely effective. When the correct remedy is taken, results can be rapid, complete and permanent.
Homeopathy Remedies is taken in the form of small tablets that are generally placed under the tongue. The tablets should not be touched with the bare hand before it is taken. Homeopathic medicine lays down certain strict rules for diet while a course of medicine is taken. Generally, patients are advised to avoid strong flavors like mint and stimulants like coffee, Tea and Nescafe
Homeopathy is completely safe. Even babies and pregnant women can use Homeopathy without the danger of side effects. Homeopathic remedies can also be taken alongside other medication without producing unwanted side effects
Homeopathy works in harmony with your immune system, unlike some conventional medicines which suppress the immune system. (For example, cough medicines suppress the cough reflex, which is your body’s attempt to clear the lungs)
Homeopathic remedies are not addictive – once relief is felt, you should stop taking them. If no relief is felt, you are probably taking the wrong homeopathic remedy.
Homeopathy is holistic. It treats all the symptoms as one, selecting the single remedy for the person; aim to bring physical and mental health. Which in practical terms means that it addresses the cause, not the symptoms? This often means that symptoms tackled with Homeopathy do not recur.
Dr. Hahnemann believed that disease occurs only when there is a disruption of the body’s life force. According to homeopaths, “this life force is vital in maintaining the body’s state of health and balance”. This delicate balance is constantly challenged by external forces like poor nutrition , vaccines, toxins, stress and emotional upheaval. But this vital force is proactive and tries to shield the body from attack, by giving off symptoms of disease. When these symptoms generally in the form of skin problems – are suppressed, internal symptoms develop. Chronic symptoms like asthma, intestinal problems and arthritis then appear. Thus by suppressing the symptoms,traditional or orthodox medicine attacks the body’s response to disease, not the disease itself.
In spite of having good nutritional food, supplements and vitamins, some people suffer from nutritional deficiency because their bodies fail to absorb the nutrients and the vitamins ingested. Ideally, we should make the body utilize the available nutrients in food instead of taking large amounts of supplements.
One last note for now, simply taking a homeopathic remedy is not the same as using homeopathy for healing. Homeopathy is a rational healing art, which has certain principles, philosophy and guidelines. The homeopath in his quest to cure these difficult illnesses needs to acquire the necessary skill and talent to master the art and science of homoeopathy. This great healing science is its potential to offer effective treatment in chronic and difficult disease by highly trained homeopathic professionals.
