homeopathy

Homeopathy , it was taught to me in the college as a 'scinece and art of healing'. To talk about homeopathy. in the simplest words it is a system of healing. So it is a type of medicine. And medicines are meant to bring about the releif from the ailments.

If we go to the history of it , it has been a discovery by DR Hahnemann in germany. But now india is hub of homeopathy as it has the maximum nomber of homeopaths in the world.
The homeopathy is yet to get established as science as still now there is not any pharcomologically valid principle available which proves the efficacy of homeopathic medicines. But it is established science on the basis of empirical principles.

homeopathic science it works on the principle of like cures like. it means the substance which has the capacity of inducing symptoms will be the substance which will be able to remove the same set of disease symptoms. in the latin language it is known as SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURENTUR.

The homeopathic medicines work and give fantastic results. It is a good science to treat the idiopathic symptoms, allergic symptoms. and chronic problems. the sources of homeopathic medicines can be plants, animals, minerals. etc. homeopathic medicines can be prepared from everything under the sun.

the homeopathic medicines are getting popular across the world gradually, as the results are getting popular with the patients. Homeopathic medicines are prescribed by homeopaths in various styles or rather each homeopath has his own style to prescribe the medicines.

but let us get to the essence , that how does homeopathy work. in reality homeopathy works through the patients own body system. the homeopathic medicines bring the patients vitality levels to the normal and ultimately the body is itself able to heal itself. So homeopathy nicely restores the individual immunity and well being . Homeoapthic medicines are safe to use. the homeoapthic medicines come in following types
Q - mother tinctures - herbal extract of the plant in the base of alcohol
dilutions with the strengtth , 3,6,12,30,200,1m,50m, cm
the round white pills are made from sugar [ cansugar]
the white powder is lactose.
overall many a times in the viral infections the homeopathic compounds are far more superior than allopathic compounds.

you must have a good gyan of homeopathy but still your dillema must be same how does of homeopathy works, so simple you consume the medicine, it goes in the body, and it works. ok ok

for example a man consumes cinchona officinalis extract and he shall find that he gets fever . now same medicine when given to a person with the symptoms of malaria fever and he is given medicine prepared from cinchona plant bark the fever had reduced . so the logic of homeopathy is so simple the substance which can creat disease can also destroy the disease.

homeopathy has its own limitiations too . but when it works, it works miraculously.

Very interesting article, Joy. Why don't you write one on misconceptions
of homeopathy. Also, why is it that symptoms sometimes get worse after the medicine, and then disappears?
