Homeopathy
A Powerful Healing System
Homeopathy is a medical system that was introduced by a German
doctor Samuel Hahnemann over two hundred years back. The system is based on the
Law of Similars, which was described by Hahnemann using a Latin phrase, "Similia Similibus
Curentur", which means, "Let likes be cured by
likes". Hahnemann named the system as Homeopathy. The
philosophy is that the symptoms produced by a drug when given in strong doses
to a healthy person, can be cured by the same medicine in higher dilutions in
potentized form. In other words, minimal doses can relieve diseases that have
symptoms similar to those created by strong doses of the drug. This is a
philosophy that works excellently but is not understood by those used to
material doses of modern medicines.
Homeopathy is a powerful healing system that has stood the test of
time and is especially known for its effectiveness in chronic diseases but that
does not mean that it is no good in acute cases. If your homeopath is
experienced and knowledgeable, you would see how effectively it can cure. The
system has the capability to cure many diseases without surgery. In certain
cases where diagnosis has not been established and nothing has been found even
after series of various laboratory tests, symptomatic treatment of homeopathy
comes as blessing. Homeopathic medicine selected by taking all the symptoms in
to consideration usually gives amazingly positive results. Homeopathic
medicines are effective and safer at the same time with lasting effects but no
known harmful side effects. The advantages, particularly safety of the
medicines have given it ever increasing popularity. It is especially preferred
for chronic diseases while it is equally effective for the acute diseases.
Those who do not trust the system might like to give it a try.
Hahnemann did commendable work during his life time but obviously
he could prove only a limited number of medicines. Lots of medicines have been
introduced after him by dedicated homeopaths. There are now thousands of
medicines in the shelf that can meet most of the situations.
Homeopathy is one of the scientific
systems of medicine based on the Principle " Similia Similibus
Curentur" which means, " let likes be treated
by likes". It originated in Germany in 1794, Dr.
Samuel Hahnemann, a German Physician enunciated this Principle. There are
theories on how exactly homoeopathic medicine works. As supported in major
clinical trials and in practice, it is believed to be working by stimulating
body's own healing mechanisms. The action of Homoeopathic medicines can be
compared to vaccines, which also act by the same principle.
