What kind of diseases can be successfully treated with the use of homeopathy?
Homeopathy is based on the nature's law of Cure, namely 'Like Cures Like'. The homeopathic pharmacopoeia lists more than 3000 remedies, whose clinical efficiency has been proved in various clinical trials conducted all over the world.
It takes into account the individual symptoms of the patient suffering from any disease and not just the diagnosis of the disease merely by looking at the investigation reports.
By the virtue of this certain diseases that cannot be diagnosed clinically or even unknown diseases or disease which are at a functional level which are yet to be medically diagnosed can also be treated.
Also in incurable cases where even the modern line of treatment fails to help the patients, homeopathy helps in not just treating symptomatically but helps in restoring complete health for better living.
The so called surgical cases like tonsillitis, adenoids, renal calculi etc where the modern medicine has limited role to play; Homoeopathy works curatively and can avoid surgery.
Can Homoeopathic medicines act as Preventive medicine?
The early symptoms of a disease are not detectable by modern machines such as X-rays, Ultrasound, CT scan, etc. Suppose you have a 1mm tumor in your liver. There is no way that an ultra sound or CT scan will pick it up. The detectable mass can be 2 mm in diameter. There can be millions of cancer cells in this 1 mm mass. Cancer does not develop in a short time. It starts with unregulated mutations. If the person does not cure the problem it develops into hyperplasia. If the excesses with the body keep on it develops into dysplasia. If still no corrective measures are taken it develops into in-situ cancer. This in-situ cancer is detectable when it reaches the size of 2 mm or more. Since machines were unable to detect this life-threatening problem, the patient ended up with cancer. All this time the patient has been complaining of different problems by exhibiting symptoms. Headaches, menstrual problems, constipation, insomnia, fatigue, cough etc.
Homeopaths do not wait for a disease to progress to an observable level by machines. They observe the objective and subjective symptoms. We can feel quantum changes in our bodies which simply are not possible to be picked up by machines.
Does Homoeopathy act slowly?
In acute diseases such as acute inflammations homeopathic medicines usually act quickly. In chronic diseases homeopathic medicines start working immediately, but complete cure may take considerably more time. In contrast to allopathic medicines which don’t cure ,just control the illness, homoeopathy does not suppress the illness but stimulate the existing healing forces within the body to cure itself.
one should resort to homeopathy in the early phase of sickness in-order to obtain the best results and complete benefits of homeopathy. Because of ignorance and lack of awareness in general public about the efficacy of homeopathy in all kinds of diseases ranging from Cold to Cancer, many patients approach homeopathy late. By this time the disease process advances to an incurable stage and homeopathy can offer little then, to the otherwise curable disorders. However timely given homeopathic treatment could be a blessing to the ailing humanity.
Will Homoeopathic Medicines interfere with my current medications ?
Homeopathic medicines, USUALLY, do not interfere with ALLOPATHIC drugs or treatments. But certain drugs or treatments may affect the actions of the homeopathic medicine and delay the healing process as they suppress the natural immunity of the individual. Usually my patients’ health improves by using homeopathy, and fewer prescription drugs are needed. Always speak to your doctor before changing, reducing or stopping the medication that has been prescribed for you.
Are there any side effects to homoeopathy drugs?
Homoeopathy medicines are absolutely safe for all age groups i.e. from infants to old people and even in pregnancy. Usually homeopathic remedies are highly diluted, but some products sold or labeled as homeopathic may not be highly diluted; they can contain substantial amounts of active ingredients. Hence many a times these medicines, although Homoeopathic, but wrongly prescribed or taken; can cause serious side effects, if not given by a qualified practitioner.
Can we use homoeopathy during fever or any other acute illness?
A skilful Homoeopath can treat acute Viral infections such as common cold, influenza, measles, chickenpox, mumps, viral hepatitis (jaundice), viral meningitis etc. Whereas Allopathic system has no curative treatment for viral diseases except infusing antibiotics under the pretext of preventing secondary bacterial infection. Homeopathy is an effective alternate to antibiotics, anti septics etc in infectious diseases, producing no toxic side effects and bringing about gentle, safe and rapid recovery.
Is it true that Homeopathic medicines are only placebos?
The pills of Homeopathic medicines are made from cane sugar but they work only as vehicles. Actual liquid medicines are prepared from the active principles and most potent constituents of various natural medicinal substances. These liquid potencies absorbed by the pills are dispensed as medications. Homeopathic medicines are also available in liquid form or tinctures, which can be administered directly or by diluting them in water as per requirement. There are more than 3000 medicines and 10 variable potencies (powers of medicines) of each medicine so minimum 30,000 various permutation and combinations are utilized.
Why does a Homoeopathic physician take such a detailed history which are apparently unrelated to the illness?
In Homoeopathy , We don’t treat the disease in Man, but we treat the Man in disease. Detailed history is very essential as homeopathy believes in treating the individual and not the disease. Disease is a total affection of mind and body, the disturbance of the whole organism. Individual organs are not the cause of illness but disturbance at the inner level is the cause of illness. So the physician needs to know the individual and not about his disease. Also the chronic diseases are due to suppression of skin affections or emotions; hence detailed history will reveal whether any past ailments suppressed has lead to the present complaints. Every incidence affects our life, so it is very important to know all the incidences and its impact it had on the patients. Hence a detailed history right from the childhood till date is needed to find the right medicine which suits the patient. If you co-operate and give honest and detailed history we can help you to achieve better and healthy life.
