The name homeopathy
comes from a Greek word "homios" for “like"
and the word "pathos" meaning "suffering",
which means “treating like with like”. Homeopathy is based
on the principle that substances that are poisonous to you
in large doses can be very beneficial in small doses.
Homeopathy is a form of medicine that helps to treat the body as a whole and helps it heal itself. It can be used for short term or long term illnesses. The objective of homeopathy is to prevent a patient from getting the illness again. Homeopathy is gentle and effective system of medicine.
The father of modern medicine (Hippocrates) observed that large quantity of certain natural substances can produce symptoms in healthy people similar to those caused by the disease, while a smaller dose of the same substances can relieve those symptoms.
The principle of homeopathy has a lot in common with immunizations. When we are younger we are given vaccine to prevent us from catching small pox, which is prepared with a mild form of the virus that causes the disease. This small amount of the virus in our body system will help our body's defenses so that when the actual virus shows up, our body will have enough fighting power to prevent the virus from entering our body.
Homeopaths believe that when a very small amount of the deadly material enters our body, it will let loose enough defenses to prevent the disease from recurring again.
Homeopathic remedies are made from naturally
occurring plant, animal, or mineral substances and are manufactured
by established pharmaceutical companies under strict guidelines.
Homeopathic remedies are usually referred to by their abbreviated
name e.g. Arg nit stands for Argentum nitricum. Homeopathic
remedies are derived from such exotic sources as bee stings,
snake venoms, vegetables, animal, minerals, botanical substances,
arsenic, gold and silica, and even compounds from diseases
tissue.
Homeopathy is an effective alternate to
antibiotics in infectious diseases. Homeopathic remedies are
diluted (potentation) to such a degree that there are no known
possible side effects from even the most toxic substances,
and brings about rapid recovery. Homeopathic remedies have
no side effects and are perfectly safe, non-toxic and non-addictive.
