Homeopathy is an alternative form of medicine that has been used for thousands of years to treat everything from life threatening illnesses to the common cold. While many people used to modern medicine may find it suspicious, it is still one of the most used types of medical treatment worldwide and is steadily gaining popularity in the western world.
Homeopathic medicine is based on three basic principles. The biggest principle of homeopathy is that like treats like. Instead of treating based on the disease doctors think you have, treatment is done based on the symptoms you know you have. The second principle is that there is only one treatment, not two or even ten like a traditional doctor might give you. The third principle is that everything is given in extremely small doses.
To treat yourself homeopathically, you must figure out all the symptoms. Once you know your symptoms, you find a substance that causes the exact same set of symptoms and take a small amount of it. Because you are only taking a very small amount, the substance not only doesn’t harm you, it’s said to cure you, generally long term or even permanently.
When most people hear about homeopathy, their initial reaction is “no way!” Treating symptoms with something that causes your symptoms seems totally counterintuitive, but it’s a concept that’s used in modern medicine as well as more ancient cures. Shots commonly used to treat allergies contain a small amount of whatever you’re allergic to. Many vaccines contain a small amount of the disease they’re designed to protect against.
While homeopathic medicine is not only considered effective, it has many benefits over modern medicine. Like many other natural medical treatments, most homeopathic remedies are totally natural. While this doesn’t necessarily make them safe, these remedies tend to cause fewer side effects, have little drug interactions, and are generally better for your overall health.
Homeopathic medications are also considered better for your body because they work with it. Many modern medicines work to suppress symptoms like fever or coughing. These symptoms are the body’s natural ways to get rid of disease. Instead of suppressing symptoms, homeopathic medicine works to cure the problem itself while addressing the specific symptoms.
When the right treatment is found, homeopathy is considered very effective. The big problem is that just like there are thousands of prescriptions and over the counter drugs, there are also thousands of homeopathic remedies as well. And if you don’t pick exactly the right one, it won’t work.
While you can buy homeopathic remedies over the counter, just like herbal and other alternative medicines, that doesn’t mean it’s 100% safe to treat yourself. If you’re serious about this treatment you should speak to a doctor who has experience in alternative medicine or even see a specialist in the area.

Aired September 13, 2010 on BBC One – Samantha Poling investigates how homeopathy has penetrated the heart of the NHS and asks whether prescribing homeopathic preparations for serious conditions could be dangerous for patients. The investigation looks at the history and preparation of homeopathic remedies and the extent of their use in Scotland and England. Advocates of homeopathy, including patients and a former GP who overcame her scepticism and became an enthusiastic practitioner, report stories of dramatic recovery in some cases. Glasgow still has a fully fledged homeopathic hospital while in English towns and cities, with the exception of London, such hospitals have been downgraded or closed. Powerful voices, including the British Medical Association, question the level of funding within the NHS for homeopathy and call for more evidence based research to back up the claims of homoepathic practitioners. via www.AtheistMedia.com -

Homeopathy has a dynamic concept of illness and the healing process, due to the fact that it has a dynamic concept of life. When we talk about something dynamic, we talk about all energy that is independent of the physical and chemical conditions and that is able to organise and have an influence over the body.
Humans are alive and healthy because of the influence of this vital principle, and will ill according to an inherited predisposition that makes him to be susceptible to determined pathological factors.
The recovery of the balance between mind and body that has been lost during the illness is a consequence of the capacity to react of this vital force, first by itself and later with the help of a dynamic remedy which is similar in action to that vital principle that has been incapable to restore the health by itself.
The vital dynamism is not separated from the body, like a kind of soul, it is distributed in all the body and cannot work isolated from the body due to the fact that it organises the entire individual.
The vital dynamism can be affected by hostile agents of a similar dynamic nature, like weather, lifestyle and emotions, but also by inheritance that predisposes it to suffer and make it susceptible to ill.
The organism without the vital dynamism loses the capacity of feeling, acting and keeping itself due to the fact that our sensations and functions are executed due to the vital principle that gives us life.
Without the action of this principle, the human gets unbalanced and dies.
Health is a state of balance of the person with himself and with the nature, not only at the organic level but also at the psychic level, which is expressed as a total balance between the mind, the vital dynamism and the body.
A healthy person will feel a total sensation of wellbeing that will impulse him to express his spirit on his dairy life and work.
Vital dynamism and Illness
The only way to perceive the unbalance of the vital force is through the development of signs and symptoms that will be an expression on the exterior coming from the internal morbid process which is known all together as illness.
When illness is present, we fill a sensation of discomfort, the mental expressions are altered, physical signs and symptoms appear. All these happen because the vital dynamism is perturbed whether it is due to external or internal hostile agents. When all these external and internal agents act and produce illness, there is also an inherited predisposition behind, which makes the organism to be susceptible to that particular illness.
An example of this is that great impact that a bad news causes in all our being or the emotional ailments consecutive to a grief. There is nothing material flowing from the mouth of the informer of the bad news that comes through the ears of the person receiving the news that can cause the problem.
According to the homeopathic model, the illness is a state of unbalance of the human being as a result of the interaction between the inherited morbid susceptibility and the triggered pathogenic factors. If the triggered pathogenic factors are of a dynamic origin, they will affect primarily the vital dynamism and later will be manifested clinically in the totality of the individual.
Health has to be restored in the same plane of the suffering that means, in the dynamic plane, reason why homeopathic remedies have been prepared on a dynamic way to have a potency that will act at the level of the vital force.
The vital dynamism is always subject on one side to the dynamic influence stronger coming from the inherited morbid predisposition and on the other side to the energy of the homeopathic remedy. It is not only the issue of prescribing the most similar remedy, but also the selection of the adequate potency and the most suitable repetition for that particular case.

Homeopathy has become very popular the last 10 years and many people have experienced the benefits of homeopathy complexes, this is in spite of the fact that it is not accepted by mainstream medicine. They do not see homeopathy as a possible treatment for diseases in fact homeopathy goes against everything they know about how to heal an ailment.
Mainstream medicine always seeks a way to treat and stop the symptoms by suppressing them and homeopathy stimulates the whole body to heal it self and to get rid of the ailment this can result in an increasing of the symptoms for a short while. In this way you could say that homeopathy fights fire with fire. A combination of remedies is used as homeopathy complexes to encourage the symptoms to heal the body in a natural manner. Symptoms are not suppressed but encouraged. There are more and more people who have experienced this to be a good way to treat (minor) diseases.
Helping your body to heal
When you have a cold for example, your nose will be running, and the conventional approach would be to go to the drugstore and take some over the counter medication that will help your nose from producing more and more mucus. If you use homeopathy complexes to get rid of the cold it will probably intensify the runny nose. This sounds not nice but the meaning of encouraging the nose to run more is that you are helping your body to clean itself, and that runny nose helps your body to do just that and get rid of the toxins in your body. The theory of homeopathy is here to speed up the process.
Minimizing the amount of drug by diluting it to the smallest dose possible and maximize the effects by variation of the doses to allow the body to choose the right one. Homeopathy complexes will often combine multiple remedies in one complex and let the body decide which one of the remedies is best to treat the disease.
Choose your own treatment
There are people who want to treat any disease with homeopathy, we advise you to use your common sense here, there are and always will be diseases where homeopathy might not have the right treatment for you. To get the best of both worlds what you can do is to find a homeopath who also has an medical degree and will prescribe what you need whether it is conventional medicine or homeopathy complexes.
For everyday small illnesses like skin problems, sinus problems, a cold there is no reason to not seek help with a homeopath although the above s always preferred. You will find that most homeopathy remedies are very similar to your grandmothers remedies. There are so many homeopathy complexes that more and more people find useful and much better than the conventional medicine that it is worth to give it a try. Most homeopathic medicine have much less or no side effects than regular medicine especially with diseases like arthritis where the regular medicine still has found no cure.
