HOMEOPATHY
Coined by the Saxon physician Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann, Homeopathy is a 200 year old alternative medical treatment of all physical and mental ailments that is widely popular in Europe and India.
Although in tune with the conventional medicine that regards disease as morbid derangements of the organism, it differs in preferring to view each case of sickness as a strictly individual phenomenon. According to the homeopath, it is the man that is sick and to be restored to health, not his body, or the tissues.
Homeo (similar) pathy (pathos or suffering) is based on the principle of similars that states let likes cure likes. It rests on the premise of treating sick persons with extremely diluted agents that - in undiluted doses - are deemed to produce similar symptoms in a healthy individual.
The 'law of similars' is an ancient medical maxim but its modern form is based
on Hahnemann's conclusion that a constellation of symptoms induced by a given homeopathic remedy in a group of healthy individuals will cure a similar set of symptoms in the sick.
It should be mentioned that India has the largest homeopathic infrastructure in the world, with around 300,000 qualified homeopaths, 180 colleges, 7500 government clinics, and 307 hospitals.
Homeopathic medicines are tailored to suit the individual patient, taking account of the illness, medical history and personality profile. Homeopathic medicines are made from plants such as chamomile, belladonna, arnica, and animal products like squid ink and snake venom. Minerals such as mercury and sulphur are also used.
Homeopathic remedies are easy to administer, have virtually no side effects, and can be used safely in the treatment of illness and injury in any species. Unlike conventional medicines, or even other natural medicines like herbs and supplements, it is not species specific, that is, the same guidelines for choosing the right remedy and dosage apply whether the patient is a human, a dog, a bird, or a monkey. While it can be helpful to have a precise diagnosis, it is not necessary because the choice of remedy is based primarily on symptoms. That makes it easy to treat minor ailments at home, and can be particularly helpful if you must deal with a more serious problem when a doctor’s care is not immediately available. |
