How Does Homeopathy Work?
- Homeopathy is a safe, gentle, and natural system of healing that works with your body to relieve symptoms, restore itself, and improve your overall health. Homeopathic remedies trigger the body's ability to self-heal by stimulating a precise reaction against symptoms.
- The body naturally reacts against any foreign attempts to make it behave differently.
- Homeopathy uses homeopathic medicine (called a remedy) which in healthy people can cause a set of symptoms mirroring the symptoms being treated in the sick person.
- When the body reacts against the homeopathic remedy, in turn, it reacts against the symptoms too, resulting in the person getting better.
- It is used to treat acute illnesses as well as chronic conditions.
- It is extremely safe to use for everyone, including very small children, pregnant women, and pets. It has none of the side effects of many traditional medications, is very affordable, made from natural substances, and is FDA regulated.
THE 3 LEVELS OF HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT
THE 3 LEVELS of Homeopathy can be used at deeper levels, and in different ways, depending on your condition:
- Level 1 – Complementary Treatment – Homeopathy is often a helpful treatment to use alongside allopathic treatment. For example, to manage side effects from medications or chemotherapy
- Level 2 – Trauma and Acute Care - Therapeutic Treatment – For example in first aid situations – bruises, bites, burns, shock; In acute care situations-headaches, stomach ache, colds.
- Level 3 – Individual Symptoms and Chronic Disease – This is where homeopathy starts to become individualized. A homeopath is combining the knowledge of specific disease symptoms, including physical, mental, and emotional symptoms, as well as other strange or peculiar symptoms. This paints a complete picture on which a remedy prescription is based. This level is often linked to inherited conditions – the specific ways people express their disease. It may also involve any recurring thoughts or feelings they might have about their life.
What Conditions Can Homeopathy Help With?
- Homeopathic Practitioners and conventional doctors differ in their approach to illness.
- Homeopathy does not treat diseases but instead treats the individual.
- The concept of disease is a convenient method for collecting together information regarding common patterns of symptoms, so practitioners can identify the root problem, such as diabetes, allergies, acne, migraines, etc.
- Individuals have their own unique pattern of symptoms when they are ill, these may not include all the common ones but will include others unique only to them.
- It is not proven that common symptoms are more important in an individual case, the evidence of side effects suggests the opposite is true: the individual's unique symptoms are critical for identifying the right treatment to correct the problem.
