Homeopathy dates back to the late 1700's,
thanks to the German physician, Samuel Hahnemann. He began his search for
alternative health treatments after losing faith in the medical practices of his
time.
Homeopathy dates back to the late 1700's,
thanks to the German physician, Samuel Hahnemann. He began his search for
alternative health treatments after losing faith in the medical practices of his
time.
Dr. Hahnemann
theorized that symptoms were the key treating the problem. He believed that if a
specific substance could cause a certain symptom when taken in its natural
state, that the same substance could also alleviate the symptom after having
been diluted.
As in Dr.
Hahnemann's time, the Western world's current conception of how to treat and
cure diseases is with prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines and in the
most severe cases, surgery. However, many of the drugs merely disguise the
symptoms of the ailments and do nothing to cure the problem itself.
Homeopathy
puts Dr. Hahnemann's theories to use. It is the practice of using natural
materials provided by Mother Nature's tincture at various dilutions. By focusing
on the particular symptoms rather than trying to cure it, homeopathy promotes
the body's natural healing process, so it may cure itself.
The natural
materials used in homeopathic remedies are derived from a variety of plants,
minerals, and animal sources. Since homeopathy
has been used for over 200 years, the
development and discovery of new remedies is a continuous process.
Because
homeopathic remedies are completely natural, they can be self administered. In
addition, homeopathic medicines typically cost less and do not cause the
unwanted side effects other prescription or over-the-counter medicines may
initiate.
If you are
looking for a natural alternative to "traditional" medicines and
over-the-counter drugs, homeopathy may provide the answers that you are looking
for.
