About Homoeopathy

a brief history

About the Doctor

Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, was the founder of Homoeopathy. He established the fundamental principles of the science and art of Homoeopathy. He was the first physician to prepare medicines in a specialized way; proving them on healthy human beings. .

Homoeopathy is the therapeutic method of curing a diseased individual by giving medicine similar to that particular case. The theory of Similia Similibus Curentur which forms the basis of Homoeopathy was propounded by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in 1779. Dr Hahnemann, one of the most successful MD physicians of his time in Germany. Many other established MD physicians in Germany, France, England and America, followed Him, who practiced Homoeopathy with conviction. Homoeopathy, works effectively for Acute and especially for Chronic and recurring diseases. Homoeopathy differs from Allopathy or any other science by being absolutely safe and free from adverse effects. They are safe for even new-born babies as well as during pregnancy, and for elderly patients.

The discovery of Homoeopathy was the result of years of experiment and thought, was not a one day phenomenon, but it required an inquisitive heart, an observant eye and a scientific approach to give it its present cast. Dr. Hahnemann was disheartened with the allopathic approach to treatment of illnesses. Most of the illnesses ranging from Allergies, Asthma, Arthritis, Hypertension, Ischaemic heart diseases, Diabetes, Psoriasis, Thyroid problems and all Auto-immune illnesses were not curable and only Controllable and relapsed frequently. Tumors and cancers could be operated upon but most recurrences and relapses were inevitable. The tumor was removed yet patient would succumb to the disease. The situation is quite similar to the present day scenario, inspite of the advances made by the modern science. Dr. Hahnemann attributed this failure of the prevailing method of treatment to the fact that the cause was not treated only the disease or end product was treated. He advocated that the cause (which ranges from genetic, immunological, metabolic, hormonal, emotional etc.) of the chronic illnesses was in the individual genetic pattern that was to be strengthened.

Man lives as a whole, fights as a whole and survives as a whole despite having multiple tissues, organs and systems. And everything is ruled and governed by our supreme governor –the Genetic Code. This inherent disposition to develop a certain disease is a part of your genetic code and thus Homeopathy stresses on treating the person’s constitutional tendencies of developing a disease. A person's temperament, likes and dislikes, past medical and family history, genetic predisposition , etc make up a constitution and these are the guiding features which help a Homoeopathy in selecting the right constitutional Homoeopathic remedy capable of curing all complaints holistically. As a result, the diseases are treated in totality rather than in parts or as entities separate from the 'whole', Man. Therefore he advocated- Treat The Man In Disease, Not The Disease In Man. Any major illness or disease is like a tip of an iceberg . Be it hypertension, diabetes, thyroid, tumors or any cancer it has to have it’s modest beginning in a smaller illness. Beneath the tip there lies an underlying submerged constitution which has the tendency to develop certain kind of genetic and hereditary illnesses . Homeopathy makes a patient healthy not only today but also assures that he remains free of troubles in future and leads a healthy ideal way of life!! Rapid,Gentle and Permanent cure An affordable and effective treatment used by millions worldwide,Homoeopathy has no toxic side-effects. Homoeopathy cures gently and permanently with natural medicines. Homoeopathic medicines gently STIMULATE the immune system of our body and help to fight the disease. All Homoeopathic medicines are prepared largely from naturally occurring substances – plant kingdom, mineral kingdom and animal kingdom. These medicines are well proven on healthy human beings; hence there are no chances of having any side effects.

Homoeopathic is an effective alternate to antibiotics in infectious diseases, producing no toxic side effects and bringing about rapid recovery. Homeopathy has definite treatment for most of the infectious disease such as Sinusitis, Tonsillitis, Bronchitis, Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, Meningitis, Gastroenteritis (vomiting-diarrhea), Dysentery, etc.

To obtain the best results and full benefits of Homoeopathic science, one should resort to homoeopathy in the early phase of sickness. Because of ignorance and lack of awareness in general public about the usefulness of homoeopathy in all kinds of diseases ranging from Cold to Cancer, many patients approach homoeopathy late. By this time the disease process advances to an incurable stage and homoeopathy can offer little then, to the otherwise curable disorders. However timely given Homoeopathic treatment could be a blessing to the ailing humanity.

It is commonly assumed that Homoeopathic medicines are composed of extremely small doses of medicinal substances. And yet, does anyone refer to an atomic bomb as an extremely small dose of a bomb? In actual fact, there is power, a very real power, in having atoms smash against each other. Homoeopathy medicines are made through a specific pharmacological process of dilution and vigorous shaking. However, when skeptics say that there is nothing but water in homoeopathy medicine, they are proving their ignorance, despite the incredible arrogance in which they make these assertions. Dr. Martin Chaplin, a respected British professor who is one of the world's experts on water, has verified that "Homoeopathic water" and "regular water" are not the same, and his review of almost 2,000 references to the scientific literature on water (!) confirm this fact. For 200 years now, millions of physicians and hundreds of millions of homoeopathy patients have observed and experienced the power and effectiveness of homoeopathy medicines

Precisely how homoeopathy medicines work remains a mystery, and yet, nature is replete with mysteries and with numerous striking examples of the power of extremely small doses. For instance, it is commonly known that a certain species of moth can smell pheromones of its own species up to two miles away. It is no simple coincidence that species only sense pheromones from those in the same species who emit them (akin to the homoeopathic principle of similars), as though they have developed exquisite and specific receptor sites for what they need to propagate their species. Likewise, sharks are known to sense blood in the water at distances, and when one considers the volume of water in the ocean, it becomes obvious that sharks, like all living creatures, develop extreme hypersensitivity for whatever will help ensure their survival. The challenging question that remains is: How does the medicine become imprinted into the water and how does the homoeopathic process of dilution with succession increase the medicine's power? A group of highly respected scientists have confirmed that the vigorous shaking involved with making homoeopathic medicines changes the pressure in the water, akin to water being at 10,000 feet in altitude (Roy, et al., 2005). These scientists have shown how the homoeopathic process of using double-distilled water and then diluting and shaking the medicine in a sequential fashion changes the structure of water. One metaphor that may help us understand how and why extremely small doses of medicinal agents may work derives from present knowledge of modern submarine radio communications. Normal radio waves simply do not penetrate water, so submarines must use an extremely low-frequency radio wave. The radio waves used by submarines to penetrate water are so low that a single wavelength is typically several miles long! If one considers that the human body is 70-80 percent water, perhaps the best way to provide pharmacological information to the body and into intercellular fluids is with nanodoses. Like the extremely low-frequency radio waves, it may be necessary to use extremely low (and activated) doses for a person to receive the medicinal effect. It is important to understand that nanopharmacological doses will not have any effect unless the person is hypersensitive to the specific medicinal substance. Hypersensitivity is created when there is some type of resonance between the medicine and the person. Because the system of homoeopathy bases its selection of the medicine on its ability to cause in overdose the similar symptoms that the sick person is experiencing, homoeopathy principle of similars is simply a practical method of finding the substance to which a person is hypersensitive. The homoeopathic principle of similars makes further sense when one considers that modern physiologists and pathologists recognize that disease is not simply the result of breakdown or surrender of the body but that symptoms are instead representative of the body's efforts to fight infection or adapt to stress. Using a nanodose that is able to penetrate deeply into the body and that is specifically chosen for its ability to mimic the symptoms helps to initiate a profound healing process. It is also important to highlight the fact that a homoeopathic medicine is not simply chosen for its ability to cause a similar disease but for its ability to cause a similar syndrome of symptoms of disease, of which the specific localized disease is a part. By understanding that the human body is a complex organism that creates a wide variety of physical and psychological symptoms, Homoeopaths acknowledge biological complexity and have a system of treatment to address it effectively. Although no one knows precisely how homoeopathic medicines initiate the healing process, we have more than 200 years of evidence from hundreds of thousands of clinicians and tens of millions of patients that these medicines have powerful effects. One cannot help but anticipate the veritable treasure trove of knowledge that further research in homoeopathy and nanopharmacology will bring.
