Homeopathy is a natural form of medicine used by over 200 million people worldwide to treat both acute and chronic conditions. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), homeopathy is the second largest medical system for primary health care in the world. Homeopathy is derived from two Greek words: "homoios," which means "like," and "pathos," which means "illness" or "suffering." Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician, developed homoeopathy in 1796 and is based on the principle of "Likes Cure Likes" or ‘Law of similars’.This means that a substance that's causing a symptom or sickness can also be used in tiny doses to treat it. A patient with hayfever, for example, may benefit from the homeopathic remedy Allium Cepa, also known as onion, as it generates similar symptoms like watery eyes and a runny nose. Similarly, Coffee, which helps us stay awake and aware, is also available as coffea, a homeopathic remedy to treat insomnia.
Homeopathy examines a person's mental, emotional, and physical well-being holistically. It considers a person as a total system rather than separate components. Homoeopathy regards each patient as a unique individual; for example, different individuals with different headaches will receive different homeopathic treatment depending on their overall state.
Homeopathic remedies work by allowing the mind and body's own self-regulating processes to work more efficiently, as well as mobilising and reinforcing the body's own healing resources. In fact, rather than battling or masking ailments, it aids healing. Choosing the proper prescription is similar to selecting the exact key required to turn this process on. The goal of homoeopathy is not to eliminate or suppress symptoms. Its purpose is to figure out what's causing these symptoms and get rid of it. This is why, before recommending a prescription, a homoeopathic practitioner will try to comprehend the full person, including their body, mind, and emotional state. When used correctly, homoeopathic medicine can produce a powerful healing response. In the treatment of chronic and long-term health conditions, homoeopathy can be exceedingly beneficial.
Homeopathic remedies are made through a process known as "potentization," which involves dilution and succussion, which is a violent pounding or shaking of the original substance. Homeopathic treatments are diluted and succussed until no chemical molecule remains, thus eradicating their poisonous effects. During the stages of succussion, the potentisation process imprints energy information from the original material onto the diluting liquid, as understood. This energy information in the body initiates a self-healing response, restoring the person's health.
