Homeopathic Medicine
Homeopathic Medicine
Homeopathy is a worldwide-recognized system of medical treatment. Homeopathy is based on the philosophy that the body, mind and emotions are not really separate and distinct, but is actually fully integrated; so homeopathy approaches the "whole person" to find the origin of the disease and determine the underlying disturbance; then the treatment program is customized and individualized to the patient’s health condition, with the intent of removing the underlying cause.
Prolonged emotional stress can cause physical problems, like upset stomach, difficulty in digesting foods, poor nutrient assimilation, weaker immune system, sleeplessness, etc. The opposite is also true. Illness and physical problems can result in anxiety or emotional uneasiness. Therefore, it is important for a homeopath to conduct an in-depth interview of a patient to ensure a proper treatment.
Homeopathic medication supports the organism in its efforts to return to conditions of health by activating the body’s immune system on a systematic basis. The homeopathic Processing of selected constituents enables the physician or the therapist to very closely approach the goal of any medicinal therapy: i.e., specific treatment without adverse effects.
Homeopathic remedies are derived from natural substances that come from plants, minerals, or animals. Remedies are prepared in single and combination forms. The remedies are available in very broad potencies, simply from very concentrated mother tinctures to higher dilutions in a series of steps. Based on the assessment and the patients’ health conditions, different potencies and formats of the remedies will be prescribed.
During the development of a disease usually different levels of several tissue-incompatible substances (chemical/biochemical originating from the body’s usual metabolites or resulting from metabolic disorders like diabetes and/or from outside the body like toxins) are involved, stimulating the body’s defence or immune system. All of those processes, syndromes, and manifestations, which we designate as diseases, are the expression of body’s reaction to neutralize and expel incompatible substances and brig everything under control and eventually back to normal. Therefore depending on the level of disturbance and body’s Immune system power, different remedies with different potencies are required.
Homeopathy is applicable in different ways to help with a proper and balance function of immune system. With homeopathic detoxification and derange the toxins, heavy metals, and free radicals will get eliminated and trace elements and mineral will get balanced. Homeopathy will promote Immunological bystander reaction or Type IV hypersensitivity reaction (immunological bystander reaction can only proceed in the low dose antigen range).
