About Homoeopathy

Homeopathy is a medical science introduced by a German scientist Dr Samuel Hahnemann, MD, in 1794 and it has been in practice all over Europe, the US, Australia, most parts of Asia, middle and far East, and India. It is the most practiced Alternative System of Medicine in the world today.

Homeopathy, more interestingly, works effectively especially for Chronic and recurring diseases, which are many. Just to name only a few, in random order, migraine, colds, allergies, auto-immune diseases, diseases of the joints, muscles and nerves, metabolic diseases, and more.

Homeopathy stands out distinct as compared to other modes of treatment by its fundamental principles directed towards treating diseases at the root level, by addressing the multiple causative factors such as genetic, immunological, metabolic, hormonal, emotional and the like. As a result, the diseases are treated in totality rather than in parts or as entities separate from the 'whole' of the individual patient. In that sense, homeopathic science believes in the 'holistic' approach.

Interestingly, the homeopathic medicines are also prepared in such a sophisticated way that rather than using harsh chemicals for treating humans, homeopathy uses attenuated and 'potentized' medicine substances which are in the form of nano-particles, which have been found to be effective in treating the diseases at much deeper level.

And, needless to say, the homeopathic medicines are absolutely safe and free from adverse effects. They are safe for even new-born babies as well as during pregnancy, and for elderly patients.


The major benefits with homeopathy could be listed as under:
1. Effective
2. Gives lasting relief
3. Free from side effects

1. Effective

Homeopathy, especially, is very effective for the treatment of chronic diseases of long standing. And, for those diseases which keep on re-appearing after every few days, months or years. Effectiveness of homeopathy in recurring diseases such as migraine, allergies, acne, autism, arthritis, asthma, rheumatism, psoriasis, etc. is a hallmark of homeopathy. All the diseases cannot be described here, obviously.

2. Gives lasting relief

Well, even the conventional medicine is effective. Then, why homeopathy? The superiority of homeopathy is in a fact that the relief offered by it in the treatment of chronic diseases is quite lasting for many months or years. This lasting relief is achieved because homeopathy treats the root of the diseases. The approach in homeopathy is such that it addresses the patient’s physical, disease, emotional, emotional and genetic totality; and treats the disease traits rather than treating diseases superficially. Depending on the nature of the diseases and its cause, the cure achieved by homeopathy may last for a very long time, many times for over decades or more.

3. Free from side effects

Homeopathy is essentially a safe system of medicine, free from any adverse effects if used correctly. The format of the medicine is such that the medicines are devoid of any toxic substance, hence absolutely harmless. Homeopathy is safe for newborn babies, pregnant women, and elderly patients as well as for those patients who have delicate health. Some of the other benefits and advantages of homeopathy include its cost-effectiveness, easy to administer, child-friendliness and it can be used along with other forms of medications.
