Homeopathy is a highly specialised form of natural medicine based on concept of 'like cures like'. In other words a substance that is found to cause symptoms in a healthy person will cure same symptoms that occur in a sick person.
Homeopathic medicines are made from natural sources and diluted and potentised. The more a remedy is diluted and succussed (potentised), stronger it becomes as a cure. Many people find whole concept of using a remedy, where it has been diluted so much, that no physical particles exist, is a bit hard to entertain. However, when you have experienced Homoeopathy, you will know that it works. The greatest of sceptics can be turned around from one single dose of a well-chosen Homoeopathic remedy.
Symptoms, in homoeopathy, refer to much more than just a symptom, e.g. a cold. It looks at whole symptom picture, whole person, changes that are felt by patient or observed by someone else. They include not just physical symptoms, but also emotional and mental picture.
Homoeopathy is a wholistic medicine and a Homoeopath will always look at whole person. Symptoms do not present themselves in isolation; they are reflected in whole person. A Homoeopath looks beyond presenting symptoms of a patient. They don’t just look, for example, at constipation, but how that affects whole person, totality of symptoms. Putting together full picture takes a bit of detective work. It includes mental, physical and emotional aspects and how these are changed or how these symptoms differ from someone else suffering from same complaint. The circumstance of commencement of symptoms is also a factor.
Choosing one correct remedy can be difficult and it is a challenge especially for home prescriber. Homoeopaths can spend hours deliberating over right remedy for their clients. However you should not be deterred from using simple first aid remedies for your families. It just takes a little observance and great results will encourage you further.
Homoeopathic medicines are a catalyst to improving vital force, improving all over health. They help to stimulate defence system of body. They don’t weaken system; they don’t suppress symptoms. The correct homoeopathic remedy will not only alleviate symptoms, but allow person to feel harmony in their life. All over wellness can occur, mental, emotional and physically.
Homoeopathy can treat all types of illness, chronic, acute and minor accidents.
