What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is the art and science of healing by safe, gentle, and natural methods. The word is coined from the Greek word ‘homoios’ meaning like or similar and ‘pathos’ meaning suffering. It works on the principle of 'similia similibus curentur’ (Let like be cured with like) which means that anything that will cause a disease in a healthy person when given in large doses, will also cure when treated with micro doses of potentized homeopathic medicines made from the same substance. This substance will help to stimulate the body’s own healing power to fight the illness. This concept has been known since Hippocrates in 450 BC, and has been further developed down the ages until full scientific examination was undertaken by a German allopathic physician, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in the 18th century. Homeopathy is holistic; that is it treats the whole person and not just the symptoms, believing that symptoms are the body’s own attempt at self-healing and that any suppression of these symptoms will drive the disease further into the body. Homeopathic medicines - also called remedies - have been proven for nearly two hundred years to be safe and effective in treating ailments serious and minor, acute and chronic, physical and emotional. Many rare and medically unexplained illnesses have been cured by homeopathy. Homeopathy can also play an important part in preventing diseases. During the initial consultation which is usually quite lengthy and thorough, the homeopath needs to carefully question the patient in order to build up a multidimensional picture of the patient’s symptoms to match one drug’s picture and find an appropriate remedy for that particular person.
