“ Homeopathy is a system of medicine that was developed in the late 18th century by Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician. It is based on two main principles: ”
The Law of Similars (like cures like): This principle suggests that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used in very small amounts to treat similar symptoms in a sick person. Think hair of the dog; a small amount of alcohol can ameliorate the symptoms of a hangover. And red onion is used as a remedy for allergies, and yet chopping an onion can make you cry.
Individuality: Everyone is unique, and symptoms of a disease may differ from one person to another, requiring a distinctive and tailored approach to treatment. One size does not fit all in the homeopathic world; different remedies may be used to treat a common cold, for example, depending on the characteristic symptoms of the individual.
Homeopathy can support the treatment of a wide range of heath conditions and concerns: first aid such as a cut or a bruise, an acute condition such as a cough or a cold, chronic conditions such as asthma, IBS, migraine, infertility, menopause, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and mental and emotional conditions such as depression, anxiety, insomnia and so forth.
Homeopathic medicine is made from a variety of sources including plants, minerals, and animal substances, and more latterly imponderable matter, such as radiation.
Homeopathic medicine is gentle and safe. It can be taken by people of all ages, and it can be taken alongside conventional and herbal medicine. It can be especially useful in the mitigation of side effects from chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and other adverse effects of orthodox medicine and procedures.
