HOMEOPATHY

 

The conventional medicines are known to work by inhibiting or destroying the disease process, or by substituting for physiological deficiencies in a patient. In conventional medicine, temporary relief may be achieved with drugs such as antihistamines, antibiotics, hormones, antipyretics, and anti-inflammatory. However, in the process, the problem may recur with a general deterioration of one’s health and well being. Their toxic effects, drug interactions, and cost often limit the conventional drugs. In contrast, the homeopathic medicines act by stimulating the body to react to the illness and allow natural healing to occur. Furthermore, as the homeopathic remedies are given in very small, dilute and non-toxic doses the incidents of adverse reactions or drug reactions or drug interactions are extremely rare in homeopathy.

 

Homeopathic medicines help to restore a healthy balance naturally, without chemical drugs that have side effects. Balance is restored using the body’s own natural process, thereby enhancing the immune system. By stimulating a return to balance, homeopathic remedies promote increased strength, flexibility, and resistance to disease.

Homeopathy is based on the “Law of the Similar” or the concept of “like cures like.” This means that a substance, which can cause particular symptoms in healthy people when given in very small and sub-toxic doses, can be used to cure those same symptoms when found in the sick.
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the manufacture and sale of homeopathic medicines

Homeopathic remedies are specially prepared from natural substances, mostly plants and minerals. Tiny amounts of these active ingredients are highly diluted with alcohol and water until the correct strength of medication is reached. As the substances used in homeopathic remedies are extremely dilute, there are no toxic or side effects.
Homeopathic remedies in low strength are used for natural and gentle treatment of colds, mild coughs, flu, infant teething, diaper rash, bee stings, and mild bruises and burns. These low strength doses are available over the counter at most natural health food stores.

Homeopathy is considered very effective for non-toxic and gentle treatment of most allergies, skin disorders and chronic conditions. Constitutional homeopathy can be of great value in strengthening the person’s system and restoring balance, thereby helping to prevent a recurrence of these allergies and chronic problems.
