What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a system of treatment, which has been used for over 200 years and is practiced by doctors throughout the world. In France for example, homeopathic medicines are used by approximately one third of general practitioners. Diagnosis and investigation of the illness are just as important for doctors treating homeopathically as it is for those treating by orthodox medicine.  more

Dr.Springer: Homeopathy is a system of medicine. It was first given practical application by Samuel Hahnemann of Leipzig, Germany, in the early19th century. And was designated homeopathy to distinguish it from the established school of medicine which he called allopathy. It had been observed that quinine given to a healthy person causes the same symptoms that malaria does in a person suffering from that disease; therefore quinine became the preferred treatment in malaria. When a drug was found to produce the same symptoms, as did a certain disease, it was then used in small doses in treatment of that disease. This is thought to be nonsense by many scientists around the world. U.S. medical schools do not presently emphasize the homeopathic approach, although it has become popular among some physicians in European and Asian nations. But, it has been proven thousands of times over the past 200 years that, in fact, it has been extremely useful in helping many medical conditions resolve. ...  more

Your body has the ability to heal itself. When you are ill, your body produces symptoms, which is how we know that the body has recognized that something is wrong and is actively working to heal itself. This "natural regulator" is your body's auto-regulatory mechanism and it works to keep your body in balance - or in a state of homeostasis. Here's an example of how this works. Think of your "natural regulator" as your internal temperature gauge. If you go outside and it is very hot, your body will recognize it is too hot and begin to perspire. Your homeostatic mechanism is producing a symptom - perspiration - in an effort to cool down the body. If you go outside and it is very cold, the symptom is shivering. Your homeostatic mechanism is trying to warm the body up by shivering to produce heat. Think about the last time you were shivering. You could not control it, and you did not stop until you were warm. It is the same way with homeopathic medicines. If you are ill and your body is ...  more

Homeopathy is an alternative system of medicine that was founded in the early 19th century by a German physician, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. It had its greatest popularity in the late 19th century, during which time about 15% of all medical doctors were homeopaths. In many other European countries this percentage was similar. However, with the advent of modern medicine, homeopathy was touted as "old and stodgy" by practitioners of conventional medicine and its popularity took a nosedive. This trend has reversed recently and since 1980 homeopathy is experiencing a strong resurgence of interest in the U.S., the U.K., as well as many other countries. Homeopathy rests on the principle "Like Cures Like." This means that a disease can be cured by a medicine that is capable of producing symptoms similar to those experienced by the patient in a healthy person. Therefore the most important part of homeopathic treatment lies in the lengthy interview which the homeopath conducts with the patient in ...  more

Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine based on the principles of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. Homeopathic medicine uses micro doses of natural ingredients from the plant, mineral or in very rare cases animal kingdom. Homeopathic medicine works by using these micro doses to help stimulate the body's healing forces.  more

Homeopathy is a gentle, holistic system of healing, suitable for everyone, young and old. It’s a form of healthcare that originated in Europe. It is based on the principal “Similia Similibus Curanter” which means "like cures like". It was developed in Germany and has been practiced in the United States since the early 19th century.. Homeopathy seeks to stimulate the body's ability to heal itself by giving very small doses of highly diluted substances that in larger doses would produce illness or symptoms (an approach called "like cures like”. The term homeopathy comes from the Greek words homeo, meaning similar, and pathos, meaning suffering. Homeopathy seeks to stimulate the body's defense mechanisms and processes so as to prevent or treat illness. According to homeopathy, no two people are treated exactly alike, even if they have similar symptoms. Homeopathy treatment is similar to how a vaccination or immunization works. The immune system becomes stimulated with tiny doses of ...  more

Homeopathy is a relatively young medical modality within the realm of naturopathic medicine. It comes from the tradition of similimum, or, "like cures like". For example, if you drank several pots of caffeinated coffee, you would experience certain symptoms of nervousness and anxiety. Homeopathic coffee is used to treat these same symptoms in a nervous and anxious patient. By nudging the body, or more specifically, the "vital force", homeopathy reminds the being of what health could be and steers it towards optimal wellness. Homeopathy consists of remedies, which are highly diluted substances. Dilutions are chosen depending on different factors, such as strength of patient, severity and chronicity of illness and whether the illness is mostly physical, mental or emotional. The more diluted a remedy is, the more energetic and thus, the more potent. The highest potencies tend to act deeply while the low potencies typically are used to treat acute situations. In the hands of a ...

Homeopathy is a system of medicine which treats diseased individuals on the basis of using medicinal substances capable of producing similar changes in the health of a person as that of the diseased person. Literally speaking "Homoeos" means "similar" and "pathos" means "suffering".  more

Homeopathy is a system of medicine, which was founded by the German physician Dr. Hahnemann in 1790. Dr. Hahnemann was a very famous physician of the then dominant school of medicine. He was a successful practitioner, but deep within he was very troubled by the limited amount of useful medical knowledge of his times. He realized that, very ironically, the 'medical science' is not based on any fundamental scientific laws. And the theories on which the medicine of his time was based were vague and hypothetical. And the treatment often caused more harm than good. So he left his medical practice and started translation work instead. While translating Cullen's Materia Medica, he decided to probe into the action of Cinchona bark, which was known to have curative power in malarial fevers. To do this, he took some extract of Cinchona bark himself. To his utter surprise, he soon developed symptoms similar to those of malaria. It occurred to him that Cinchona bark can cure malaria because it ...  more
