Homoeopathy
Homoeopathy is a gentle and effective system of medicine under alternative mode of treatment, based on nature’s law of cure, namely ‘Like Cures Like’. This was discovered by a German Physician Dr. Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann in 1796. Homoeopathy is the revolutionary, natural medical science which has been verified experimentally and clinically for 200 years. The medicines are prepared from natural substances to precise standards and work by stimulating the body’s own healing mechanisms.

Homoeopathy is a scientific, logical, safe, quick and extremely effective method of healing. It offers a long-lasting to permanent cure (in select conditions), treating the disease from its roots. Homoeopathy is one of the most rational sciences with respect to its concepts of health, disease, and cure. Homoeopathy does not treat superficially by just driving away from the symptoms, but heals the patient physically as well emotionally.

The concept of disease in Homoeopathy is that disease is a total affection of mind and body, the disturbance of the whole of the immune-genetic system of the organism. Individual organs are not the cause of illness but disturbance at the inner level (disturbance of the life force, the vital energy of the body) is the cause of illness. Therefore Homoeopathy does not believe in giving different medicines for different afflicted parts of the body but rather give one single constitutional remedy, which will cover the disturbance of the whole person. Homoeopathy treats the patient as a whole and not just the disease. Medical philosophy is coming more and more to the conclusion that the mere treatment of symptoms and organs can only help temporarily and that it is the healing power of the body as the whole that has to be enhanced. Homoeopathy believes in a holistic, totality and individualistic approach.

Homoeopathy has a unique approach to the method of preparation of the drugs in which the end result will contain only the ultra-molecular dose of the source drug substance. In recent research, the minimum dose in the Homeopathic medicines has been found to contain the nanoparticles of the source material. So, now, Homoeopathy is found to be a form of nano-pharmacological system. By a special mode of preparation called ‘potentization’, over 2500 homeopathic medicines are prepared from sources such as vegetables, animals, minerals, chemicals, Imponderabilia etc. Hence homeopathic medicines with its ultra minute dose are non-toxic, absolutely harmless and bring about a safe and sure cure. Homeopathic medicines are dynamic agents influencing the body’s immunological state.

Ideal for Infants and Children:
Most of the children ailments like Cold, Cough, Fever, Vomiting, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Colic, Tonsillitis, Bronchitis, Asthma, Measles, Chickenpox, Mumps, Dentition problems, etc., could be very effectively and quickly treated with Homoeopathy without producing any side effects whatsoever. Unlike antibiotics and other such medicines, homeopathic pills do not hamper digestion or lower body’s resistance. They neither cause any allergies nor cause any damage even if taken over a long period. Children, willingly ingest homeopathic pills being sweet in taste. Indeed, Homoeopathy is child-friendly! Besides, Homoeopathy is effective also in temperament and behavioural problems are seen commonly in children like irritability, obstinacy, temper-tantrums, fears, phobias, destructiveness; and thumb- sucking, nail-biting, bed-wetting; as well as in mentally and physically backward children.

Homoeopathy offers wonder treatment for viral infections:
Viral infections such as common cold, influenza, measles, chickenpox, mumps, viral hepatitis (jaundice), viral meningitis, etc. are very well treated with Homoeopathy. Other system has no curative treatment for viral diseases except infusing antibiotics under the pretext of preventing secondary bacterial infection.

Homoeopathy is an effective alternative to antibiotics in many infectious diseases (if not all), producing no toxic side effects and bringing about rapid recovery. Homoeopathy has treatment for many of the infectious diseases such as Sinusitis, Tonsillitis, Bronchitis, Otitis media (pus from ear), Gastroenteritis (vomiting-diarrhoea), Dysentery, Urinary Infections, etc. Homoeopathy, however, is not the best option for critical infections such as cerebral malaria, typhoid, acute tuberculosis, severe infection, etc. Homoeopathy may not be suitable for certain critical and aggressive infections.

Homoeopathy is not against surgery. Surgery is an art and science by itself. Surgery is called forth in the conditions where medicines have limited or no role, and where surgical aid, the operation can cure or improve the condition. There are a number of diseases that are labelled as ‘surgical’, where Homoeopathy works curatively and can avoid surgery. Some such ailments are Septic recurrent Tonsillitis, Piles, Fissure-in-ano, Fistula, Appendicitis (except gangrenous), Chronic ear discharge, Vocal cord nodules, Polyp in nose-ear, Kidney and Biliary (small) stones, small size Uterine Fibroid, Ovarian Cysts, Warts, Corns, etc.

Answer to Allergic diseases
In modern life, infections have diminished and various allergic disorders have grown rampant. Homoeopathy offers very effective treatment for allergic diseases such as various skin diseases like Urticaria, Eczema, Contact Dermatitis, as well as gives unbelievably miraculous results in Asthmatic Bronchitis.

Excellent for Psychosomatic ailments
The psychosomatic disorders like Migraine, Asthma, Acidity, Peptic ulcer, Allergy, Ulcerative colitis, etc. are successfully treated with Homoeopathy. Homoeopathy has long recognized the psychological origin of somatic (body) symptoms. Homoeopathy always examines a patient’s mental make-up in all cases and medicines are given acting at the level of mind and body together, thus eradicating the disease.

Homeopathic medicines are capable of influencing the state of mind. They can specifically act to alleviate emotional disturbance such as excessive anxiety, irritability, insecurity, obsessive traits, undue jealousy, suspicion (paranoid) fears, depression, neurosis, etc. By relieving the emotions such as above, homeopathic medicines bring about the harmonious state of health. ThusHomoeopathy demonstrates the possibility of the highest goal of medicine, the therapy for the person rather than for the disease alone. Homeopathic medicines can treat mental and emotionally disturbed states.

In this scientific era of health consciousness, the time has come that for the treatment of any disease, which does not respond to any particular line of treatment, one must take a homeopathic opinion immediately. Often patients lose their early time going to one specialist to another helplessly, without permanent relief, and approach Homoeopathy only when other medicines fail.

To obtain the best results and full benefits of homeopathic science, one should resort to Homoeopathy in the early phase of sickness. Because of ignorance and lack of awareness in the general public about the usefulness of Homoeopathy in all kinds of diseases ranging from Cold to Cancer, many patients approach Homoeopathy late. By this time the disease process advances to an incurable stage and Homoeopathy can offer little then, to the otherwise curable disorders. However timely given homeopathic treatment could be a blessing to the ailing humanity.

Homoeopathy is not limited to certain diseases but is universally applicable to all kinds of diseases. It is the time when people must be made fully aware of the benefits and the scope of Homoeopathy in various day-to-day diseases. Homoeopathy should be more and more made available to the benefit of ailing persons, as it can positively help 90% of the diseases we have today.
