Homeopathy Remedy
¤ Another Branch of Medicines
 The
average library has more books on homeopathy than any other branch of
alternative medicine and it is astonishing to find that even the
smallest of the street pharmacies seem to stock a basic range of
homeopathic remedies.
Dr. Dana Ullman, founder president of the Foundation
for Homeopathic Education and Research, in his book, "
Homeopathy-Medicine of the 21st century" has outlined the growing
popularity of homeopathy. Conventional drugs are usually prescribed in
individual capacities to act upon specific parts of the body, so it
follows that several different drugs might be prescribed to treat the
various symptoms of one individual. Homeopathic medicine offers an
alternative .
¤ Single Medicine Concept
Instead of giving one medicine for a person’s headache, another
for his constipation, another for his irritability and yet another to
counteract the effects of one or more the medicines, the homeopathic
physician prescribes a single medicine at a time that will stimulate
the person’s immune and defense capacity and bring about an
overall improvement in that person’s health The procedure by
which the homeopath finds the precise individual substance is the very
science and arts of homeopathy.
¤ Working of Homeopathy Treatment
Homeopathy is based on the principle of "like healing like "
( Simile Similibus Curentur); homeopathy believes that a sick person’s
symptom are sings of the body’s battle against illness and they
try to stimulate, rather than suppress his reaction.
A homeopathic remedy is given to cure a set of symptoms in a 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, who found when he took a dose of quinine.
It made him feverish, gave him the symptoms he would have expected to
get if he had contracted malaria, then very common. It is the very
same principle that was discovered at around the same time in Britain
by Dr. Edward Jenner, who proved ture the old wives’ tale about
cowpox protecting against smallpox. He went on to develop the vaccine
that made his name in history and which eradicated the disease world
wide.
Hahnemann pursued the principle in different direction and found that
if the strength of a homeopathic remedy were diluted, its effect was
improved.
Homeopathic medicine is a natural pharmaceutical system that utilises
microdoses of substances from the plant, mineral and animal kingdom to
arouse a person's natural healing substances from the plant, mineral
and animal kingdoms to arouse a person’s natural healing
response.
Homeopathy is a sophisticated method of individualising small doses
of medicine in order to initiate that healing response. Unlike
conventional drugs, which act primarily by having by having direct
effect upon physiological process related to a person’s symptoms’
homeopathic medicines are, thought to work by stimulating the person’s
immune system, which raises his or her overall level of health thereby
enabling him or her to re-establish health and prevent disease.
¤ More Inclination Towards Homeopathy
 As
people develop greater understanding and respect for the body’s
immune system, homeopathy will gain polarity as a primary
pharmacological means to stimulate immune response.
Those convenient medical therapies that primarily treat and suppress
symptoms will be accepted for their valuable role in health care, but
not necessarily as a first course of treatment.
Homeopaths have found clinical experience that their medicines often
replace conventional drugs and eliminate the need for heroic
procedures. Ideally, homeopaths are taking the best of the natural
science to create a kind of care that will be commonplace in future.
One of the most common misconceptions about homeopathy is that it
relies on intuitive relationships between patient and healer. In
reality, it depends on acute powers of observation rather than any
mystical process.
Even a skeptical Edelman agrees that Homeopathy is an unorthodox but
no longer crazy way to perform immunotherapy. By homeopathy any
ailment, acute or chronic, local or general can be treated except
diseases where surgery is unavoidable. Even in cases of enlarged
tonsils, kidney stones, warts, piles, homeopathy has received
accolades. Moreover good homeopathic prescribing has made many
operation unnecessary.
