Homeopathy & Where is it useful?


What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a system of natural healthcare that has been in worldwide use for over 200 years. Homeopathy treats each person as a unique individual with the aim of stimulating their own healing ability. A homeopath selects the most appropriate medicine based on the individual's specific symptoms and personal level of health. Research published in such medical journals as The Lancet, Pediatrics, and British Medical Journal have confirmed homeopathy’s effectiveness for people with a wide range of chronic conditions including asthma, allergy, colitis, migraine, depression, arthritis, menopause, PMS, and others.

The conventional medicines are known to work by inhibiting or destroying the disease process, or by substituting for physiological deficiencies in a patient. In conventional medicine, temporary relief may be achieved with drugs such as antihistamines, antibiotics, hormones, antipyretics, and anti-inflammatory. However, in the process, the problem may recur with a general deterioration of one’s health and well being. Their toxic effects, drug interactions, and cost often limit the conventional drugs. In contrast, the homeopathic medicines act by stimulating the body to react to the illness and allow natural healing to occur. Furthermore, as the homeopathic remedies are given in very small, dilute and non-toxic doses the incidents of adverse reactions or drug interactions are extremely rare in homeopathy.

This does not mean that conventional medicine is not effective or useful. In fact, there are certain situations where conventional medicine, in spite of its side effects, is considered to be useful. Furthermore, in many cases, proper nutrition, diet and exercise play an equal or greater role in overall treatment of a patient, whether the person is taking homeopathic remedy, conventional medicine, or other alternate medical treatments.

What is Predictive Homeopathy?

​​​Predictive Homeopathy is a methodology that delivers higher precision in practice of classical homeopathy by incorporating advances made by modern science. This is especially helpful in treatment of complicated & chronic conditions. ​

For what conditions can Homeopathy be useful?

Homeopathic remedies in low strength are used for natural and gentle treatment of colds, mild coughs, flu, infant teething, diaper rash, bee stings, and mild bruises and burns. These low strength doses are available over the counter at most natural health food stores. Homeopathy is considered very effective for non-toxic and gentle treatment of most allergies, skin disorders and chronic conditions. Predictive Homeopathy can be of great value in strengthening the person’s system and restoring balance, thereby helping to prevent a recurrence of these allergies, skin disorder, immune system disorders and other hard to treat chronic problems.
