A FEW WORDS ABOUT HOMOEOPATHY…
Homoeopathy System of Medicine was founded by Dr. C.F. Samuel Hahnemann(1775 - 1843), in Germany before 200 years. Dr .Hahnemann was a well qualified M.D Physician .In His Lifetime and experience, He found out that the Medical treatment given to the patients gave only Temporary relief, with disease again recurring /relapsing. He also noticed the Adverse / Side effects of Medicines. Even if there is a immediate relief, the disease seemed to emerge in a different manner (After Effects).
Dr.Hahnemann, became fed up with the then System of Medicine, gave up His Medical practice. He Conducted His own scientific experiments, the result was the birth of HOMOEOPATHY SYSTEM OF MEDICINE. Now Homoeopathy is the Second largest , most popular system practiced all around the world. Its growing popularity is increasing day by day.
In Homoeopathy all the drugs all proved / verified many times in healthy individual (Provers) before giving to sick.
“ Let Like Cures Like”- “Similia Similibus Curentur”
Is the basic principle of homoeopathy.
Homoeopathic drugs are prepared from natural sources, there are no toxic chemicals and compositions present in them. So Homoeopathic Medicines do not cause any Side / Adverse effects. It is suited to all ages. Since Homoeopathy has a Unique technique called Potentisation , by which medicinal powers are increased by decreasing the quantity of drug substance. So it does not cause any adverse drug effect.
The homoeopathic medicines are prepared from a wide range of natural sources. Over 75% of the medicines has their origin from the vegetable kingdom. Rests of the Homoeopathic Medicines are prepared from chemicals, minerals, animal kingdom, nosodes and some body secretion such as the hormones.
The Homeopathy Law of Cure is Symptoms disappear in reverse order of appearance.Cure occurs from the more vital organs to the less vital and from the interior of the body toward the skin.Cure occurs from top of the body downward.
A Homoeopathic Physician spends more time with patients to ascertain the Cause, Nature and Full history of the disease and individual.
Homoeopathy does not treat diseases but treat the diseased individual. Individualism is most important in Homoeopathy. Every Person is a unique individual with different characters either physical or mental make up. No individual is alike. For ex: If a person is suffering from Headache, both do not have the same symptoms. One person will be better by sleep, another may feel relieved after vomiting. In similar way all diseases will be manifested in some what altered state in each and every individual, according to his Constitutional make up. So in Homoeopathy, Medicine for a disease varies according to individuals. This is the most unique technique adopted by Homoeopathy which makes itself different from other systems . Homeopathy is also effective against diseases which are HARD/ IMPOSSIBLE to cure in other medicine systems. Homeopathic remedies often achieve an effective curative response because it also addresses other factors like Mental & Emotional stress, symptomatic expression of other organs, nutrition, habits etc, as all of these modulates immunity and affect health.

Homeopathy is widely accepted around the world. In France 39% of Doctors recommend Homeopathic remedies, in Germany 20%, 42% in UK, 45% of Doctors use Homeopathy with their patients in Netherlands. In US a recent survey by the American Medical Association showed that about 14% of physicians refer patients to qualified Homeopaths.
Lastly ,but importantly in Homoeopathy symptoms of Mind, Inner Feelings ,Fear ,Depressions , Disappointments , Delusions ,Grief etc are given importance in selection of Medicine for Chronic diseases. Since Mind is the controller of all functions, Homoeopathy gives utmost importance to its symptoms.
