What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a system of medicine founded in the late eighteenth century by a German physician, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. It is a scientific, reliable system that restores health by stimulating the body’s own mechanisms of defence and repair.
Homeopathy views symptoms as the body’s attempt to overcome illness, stress, or a situation. The remedies aim to rectify the causal factor and the body’s reaction as opposed to suppressing the whole reaction and the resultant symptoms. The aim is to treat the individual and the unique reaction, as opposed to treating a disease.
Patients are viewed in their entirety, taking into account their unique symptoms, preferences, thoughts, mental patterns, emotions, constitutional type, life experiences, and coping strategies etc.
One of the basic principles of homeopathy is the principle that like cures like, this is known as The Law of Similars. Any substance given to a healthy individual for an extended period of time will produce certain reactions. Homeopathic medicines are made from plant, mineral and animal bases and take the form of granules, powders, liquids, tablets, pillules, indictable, suppositories or creams. The medicines are completely safe in pregnancy, and for babies and children. They can also be used concurrently with medical treatment in many cases.
Oral doses are dissolved and absorbed in the mouth and must be taken 20 minutes away from food or drink. They should be taken and stored away from, strong odours and substances, such as mint, toothpaste, coffee and Vicks.
