1. WHAT IS HOMEOPATHY ?

Homeopathic medicine is a natural pharmaceutical science that uses various plants, minerals or animals in very small dose to stimulate the sick person’s natural defenses. The homeopath seeks to find a substance that would cause the similar symptoms the person has and then gives it in small, specially prepared dose. The word Homeopathy originates from two Greek words ‘Homeo’ which means ‘similar’ and ‘Pathos’ which stands for ‘treatment by the same.’ The method of treatment was developed by a German scientist named Dr. Christian Samuel Hahnemann.
Homeopathy’s Approach Homeopathy is based on a”whole person” approach. In homeopathy, the remedy or treatment program is customized and individualized to the patient, with the intent of removing the underlying cause. Conventional Medicine’s Approach Conventional (allopathic) medicine usually relies on treating a patient’s physical symptoms. This treatment might also assume a person’s symptoms need to be controlled, suppressed or eliminated.
Homeopathic remedies are indeed very small doses. However, they are specially prepared doses which undergo a specific process — including dilution of ingredients (called potentization), as well as a vigorous shaking (succussion).Specially formulated homeopathic remedies are thought to resonate with the body, triggering a positive healing response.
Finding the appropriate homeopathic remedy depends upon gaining a complete understanding of the patient as a whole person. This means that the homeopath must take note of the physical, mental and emotional levels of each person before deciding on a correct remedy.
