How Homeopathy Works?
Homeopathy works on the principles of "like cures like" - that is, an illness should be treated by a substance capable of producing similar illness.
Why Homeopathy is Effective?
Homeopathic remedy action is very specific to cause and effect. An example: A popular anti-inflammatory drug Brufen will reduce inflammation of any tissue in the body irrespective of the pathology, but Aconite, a Homeopathic remedy, which can be used in this similar situations, can not be used without considering the specific cause, the pathology and the tissue affectation. This specificity in Homeopathy makes a prescription much more focused and result in cure without undesirable side effects.
In addition to its specific nature, Homeopathic remedies often achieve an effective curative response because it also addresses other factors like Mental & Emotional stress, symptomatic expression of other organs, nutrition, habits etc, as all of these modulates immunity and affect health.
The Homeopathic remedies are free from toxic effects and that's why in many developed countries more and more people are taking Homeopathy as their first choice of treatment. Here are some figures published by The Royal London Homeopathic Hospital, London: Belgium 33%, France 26%, Germany 22% and UK 19%.
Homeopathy with Allopathy?
Can Homeopathic medicine be taken along with Allopathic medicine?
Yes, you can take Homeopathy with Allopathic medicine without affecting each other.
Physically:
- Homeo and Allopathy medicines do not interact with each other because Homeopathic remedies are non physical, electromagnetic memory of a material whereas, Allopathic remedies are dispensed as crude physical substances.
- Homeo and Allopathy medicines neither compete for metabolic pathways nor for binding on either receptor sites or carrier protein in blood.
Physiologically:
- Homeopathic remedies act by mediating the vital principle (Immune system) unlike Allopathic medicines which has a more direct chemical action.
However it should be kept in mind that one must emphasize in reducing Allopathic medicine to prevent direct chemical effect (Toxic) on body.
What is SAFE Homeopathy?
The classical Homeopathy can be employed as first line of treatment for a large number of illnesses. However, it should play the role of complimentary treatment for diseases like Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, Cancer etc. As unlike others, these diseases manifest themselves as a consequence to irreversible degenerative changes in body. Cancer, on the other hand, represents a total loss of regulation, therefore much more difficult. Any attempt to treat these illnesses with only Homeopathy can some times become life threatening due to irreversible degenerative nature of these diseases. Based on realistic approach to Homeopathic role in health care, I have marked 2 distinct category as "Homeopathy only" and "Homeopathy as Complimentary system.". The diseases enlisted under theses 2 categories can be viewed at Diseases & Treatments. I therefore examine these issues critically before deciding my approach for each illness.
