HOMEOPATHY
People are turning to alternative health care for many reasons. Some seek to avoid the rising cost of traditional health care, some the staggering side-effects associated with allopathic drugs. Others have discovered the necessity to enhance the individual's own immune system, which has been broken down by exposure to chemicals, antibiotics, and other environmental toxins.
Homeopathy recognizes the patient as a whole and considers both the individual's physical and psychological components. When a disease or condition creates symptoms, homeopathy acknowledges them as the body's attempt to be rid of the infection or imbalance. The use of minute amounts of natural substances which mimic the body's symptoms stimulate its attempt to regain homeostasis, or balance. Where allopathic medicine merely suppresses symptoms, homeopathic medicines excite the patient's immune system and support the natural healing process.
INTRODUCTION
Homeopathy is a natural therapeutic method offering a global and personalized approach to each individual. According to the Greek Etymology, the term "Homeopathy" means:
• HOMEO = Alike or similar
• PATHOS = Suffering or disease
Which signifies "like cures like".
Homeopathy is based on three basic principals:
Law of Similars
A substance administrated in strong doses to a healthy person will provoke particular symptoms, whereas this same substance potentized and taken in infinitesimal dosages can eliminate the same symptoms in an inflicted individual.
Law of Infinitesimally
Homeopathic medicines are derived from plant, animal, mineral, or chemical substances which are macerated in order to obtain the mother tincture (full strength); from this, a drop is then diluted and potentized. This process of dynamization, as it is termed, will be repeated until the desired infinitesimal dilution is obtained.
Law of Individualization
The homeopath considers each individual to be a unique person having his/her own psychic and physical symptoms as well as his/her own hereditary predisposition’s. With respect to an illness, each individual reacts in very different ways.
Homeopathy treats the person and not his/her illness.
HISTORY
Hippocrates was the first to establish the similarity principal but unfortunately, his theory was quickly forgotten.
In 1790, Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician, discovered homeopathy by translating a materia medica. He observed that the substance China (Peruvian bark), containing quinine, administered in high dosage to a healthy individual, provoked an intermittent fever, and that this same remedy, taken in infinitesimal dosages, cured this symptom in an individual inflicted with this same type of fever. He demonstrated this principle on himself and his colleagues, and repeated experiments with other substances. The results were always very conclusive.
In 1796, he published his theories and experiments based on the "vital force", the capacity of the individual's reaction in response to illness, as well as the law of similars. Homeopathic medicines seem to stimulate the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
Homeopathic remedies are manufactured and labeled under specifications recognized by the U.S. FDA. They have been safely and effectively used for over 200 years. There are no additives, fillers, etc. They are neither habit forming nor fattening, and have no known side effects.
PRECAUTIONS
In order to maximize the success of the treatment, avoid the consumption of coffee, tea, alcohol, tobacco, and mint (toothpaste, chewing gum, cough drops, etc.) during your treatment. Also avoid inhaling strong substances such as chemical products and strong detergents.
