Healing Systems in India
Homeopathy Homeopathy is based on the principle of "Let similar things be used for cure of similar things" (Simile Similibus Curentur) in this context this phase means that “let like be cured by like”. This branch of medicine believes that a sick person’s symptom is signs of the body’s battle against illness and individuals try to stimulate, rather than suppress his reaction. A homeopathic remedy is given to cure a set of symptoms of sick person which it would cause in a healthy person. The treatment was discovered some 200 years ago by a German doctor, Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann. Conventional drugs are usually prescribed in individual capacities to act upon specific parts of the body, so it follows that different drugs might be prescribed to treat the various symptoms of one individual. Homeopathic medicine is an alternative form of medicine. Naturopathy Naturopathy India is a century old healing discipline that diminished in favor following the introduction of drugs and various and other forms of advanced and life saving medicine. But the recent years have seen the revival of naturopathy’s popularity. Individuals who have become completely disillusioned with conventional medicine are not referring to naturopathy both as medicine and healing. The appeal of naturopathic physicians is that while they have an educational background similar to that of conventional MD's, they also undertake extensive course work in various alternative remedies to sharpen their knowledge and also to widen their prospects as far as practice is concerned.

¤ Acupuncture Acupuncture is probably one of the oldest therapies still in practice and is perhaps the most frightening to the layman. It is a technique in which metal needles are used to puncture selected points of the body and induce stimulations by various manipulation methods The earliest success in this therapy is recorded by a historian of the Han Dyansty (206 BC -220 AD ) where a doctor brought a patient out of coma by applying acupuncture needles. The doctor was Pein Chueh, who later summed up his forerunners’ medical experience and set forth diagnostic methods. The story started with stone needles and later nine metal needles (four of gold and five of silver) were discovered from graves dating back to the second century BC. ¤ Aromatherapy Aromatherapy heals in a easy and gentle way. and what’s more, the ‘treatment’ is not just for your physical problems, but for your mental and emotional problems as well.
