Homeopathy is a medical science introduced by a German scientist Dr Samuel Hahnemann, MD, in 1796 and it has been use worldwide. Homeopathy is the second largest system of medicine in the world. In India more than 100 million people depend solely on homeopathy. It is the most practiced Alternative System of Medicine in the world today, as per the World Health Organization (WHO). 

Homeopathy is a gentle and natural healing discipline that works with the body’s own capacity to relieve symptoms, restore vitality, and improve overall health. Homeopathic remedies are FDA-regulated, non-drowsy, non-habit-forming, and non-toxic. The remedies also have no known side effects, no known drug interactions, and are affordable. The homeopathic medicines are absolutely safe and free from adverse effects. They are safe for even new-born babies as well as during pregnancy, and for elderly patients.

Homeopathy works effectively especially for Chronic and Recurring diseases. Homeopathy is also effective in acute diseases. However, it is not the best suitable for critical conditions. Homeopathy is strongly recommended for chronic and reducing diseases such as auto-immune diseases, skin diseases, allergies, various forms of arthritis, asthma, metabolic diseases, psychosomatic diseases, psychiatric disorders, hormonal diseases, cancers, and many more.  Homeopathy is not suggested for critical conditions such as severe infections, critical heart and brain diseases, accidental damages, etc. 

Homeopathy stands out distinct as compared to other modes of treatment by its fundamental principles directed towards treating diseases at the root level, by addressing the multiple causative factors such as genetic, immunological, metabolic, hormonal, emotional and the like. As a result, the diseases are treated in totality rather than in parts or as entities separate from the ‘whole’ of the individual patient. In that sense, homeopathic science believes in the ‘holistic’ approach. 

Homeopathic remedies are derived from plant, mineral, and animal products. The first step in making a remedy derived from a plant, for example, involves cleaning the plant and preparing it with alcohol and water to make a tincture. Next, one drop of the tincture is mixed with nine drops of alcohol (diluting) to achieve a ratio of 1:10, and the mixture is vigorously shaken (succussing).

The process of diluting and succussing is repeated to increase the potency of the remedy. If a remedy mixture is diluted 1:10 and succussed six times, for example, the resulting remedy is labeled 6X and contains one part of the original substance in 1 million parts of alcohol.

Two of the most common homeopathic remedy forms are pellets and tablets, which are composed of sugar and lactose saturated with the liquid remedy mixture. The most common types of potencies available are X (1:10 ratio), C (1:100 ratio), and LM (1:50,000 ratio).

You will miss the benefits of homeopathy by not using it for which it is good. For example, homeopathy is very good for asthma in children, allergic colds and migraines. By not taking the homeopathic advantage for these diseases, obviously one would end up taking many chemical-based medicines such as painkillers, anti-allergic medicines; which would help but superficially, with all side effects. 

As an informed citizen, one has to know what homeopathy is good for and must use it appropriately to get the best of this medical technology. 

Homeopathy is an easy and healthy choice for you and your family!
