what is homeopathy?

Homeopathy is non-toxic system of medical science that 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.

The basic principles of Homeopathy are: -

a. A substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used to treat these symptoms when they occur in an ill person.

b. Potentising the homeopathic medicine increases it collative powers and avoids unwanted side-effects.

c. Homeopathy treats the whole person and not just the illness. The totality of the symptoms is considered including mental, emotional, and physical aspects.

d. Like cures like: Substances that produce symptoms when given in large doses can clear up those symptoms when the substances are given in micro-doses.

e. A single remedy is given: One homeopathic medicine is chosen to perfectly match the totality of your symptoms.

f. A minimum of doses is given: Only a small stimulus is needed to stimulate your innate healing powers.
