I am often asked for the definition of homeopathy "What is homeopathy" or "how homeopathy differs from the natural?" It is still called a naturopath or herbalist from acquaintances, somehow what I do not seem to get through. So I thought I would explain in his words, what homeopathy can do for you. Recently in our community homeopathic blog I saw the following statistics from the 100 million users of homeopathy in Europe in 2009 Europe's population was about. 803 million. It is pretty statistics.
And let's be practical, why would so many people use this modality, because it works, why else? I'll tell you what happened and why I am now dedicated to the user and try to explain how alternative medicine can help.
My other daughter is 3 months old when I first needed help. I had moved to a small town in the state of NSW has developed croup. This condition was not something that I realized that I was rushed off the local doctor who told me that I can not help me, all I could do was sit with her in a steamy bathroom to help her breath and if it didn't work I'd need to rush her to the hospital. I met Anne (local homeopath) a few months earlier he had not heard her spiel on what it offers, but at this stage I have not tried wearing it, but now it was my next destination. I received three drugs from her and she was assured that it will work very quickly. So I went home, gave Emily drugs and the next morning my little girl is so much better I could not believe it. In two days the symptoms disappeared. Beautiful, what joy and relief and empowerment really. I realized that I was on to something here, this drug worked quickly. If you do something or to research and ask people who use homeopathy, which is usually the answer ..... I gave it a try, it worked ..... miracle! It has been my experience as well. Homeopathy is different from other modalities, it dilutes the energy. This is again the state.
When studying homeopathy learn about the vital force and how drugs that are used to strengthen and re-balance the vital force. Here is the definition of the vital force
"the vital principle or animating force within living beings: elan vital ....."
So, as the years passed, I have used this drug for me and my two girls as often as needed. At first I did because it saved me money and it worked, I figured putting in some effort to respond to all short-term illnesses that occurred in the house, he got up confidence and I did not feel so vulnerable. My children were young and I needed to do, and I found homeopathy helped me to, but I realized after a few years ago that we did not get as sick as the people around us.
I should add here though from when I first discovered this type of medicine I was tuned to, you know when something just sits right with you, well that's what happened. I understand him and I understand.
The benefits of treatment at home
I initially began to use first aid and homeopathy was happy with the team for many years. It was not until I formalized my study I realized that the scope of this therapy, and that's the beauty of homeopathy, you can use it to suit your needs. It can be used to treat colds, but can be used to solve more serious concern, the symptoms that have come in years. The practice of using drugs to heal your family been the practice for many generations, we have forgotten the way our grandmothers. For me homeopathy is a reminder of those methods. Can use homeopathic medicines for the treatment of not-so-serious conditions such as cold chest infection is one of the headaches of overindulging too much wine or in the sun too long child's fever.
Can be used to diagnose and first-aid medicines easily, allowing the body to heal gently, or you can go ahead and see a homeopath to address symptoms that are considered chronic, something you've been experiencing for more than 6 months any condition will benefit from homeopathic treatment.
There are many sites that explain the history of homeopathy and how drugs are made. Wikipedia has a section on homeopathy as many sites you can find on Google it will show both positive and negative. My personal experience is positive.
Drugs can be used and studied are made of a range of plants, minerals, metals and animals. The basis behind the drug used is simple, someone usually homeopath will decide whether a particular piece can be helpful and make medicine from it.
After the drug was trialled in a selected group of people, a group of symptoms taken down and recorded and added to our Materia Medica.
Different solutions are used for different conditions in the body to the general rule is to use a low dilution of first-aid requirements and recommend you to keep that if you are self-treating. Low dilution = X and C dilutions. This is from experience we know that the dilutions of all drugs are tested on humans, and the results recorded.
Mainly used drugs because they work gently, and I have no side effects.
Different ways of treating the patient here are a few different ways homeopaths can treat their patients, there are several different approaches.
Aetiologies - The recipe is based solely on some past trauma, disease or event, rather than presenting symptoms. Homeopaths to past trauma into account when prescribing the drug and can only rewrite the past events in order to facilitate healing. For example, if a patient has glandular fever in the past, this can be resolved through legal remedy.
Constitutional prescribing - This involves taking into account the whole person and treat people simultaneously at all levels physical, mental and emotional. Treating a person is not a disease goes here.
Intuitive prescribing - Prescription of intuitive or felt emotions. I'm a big believer in listening to your intuitive side and I use this code to prescribe as many homeopaths.
Isopathy - Treatment with the drug or product allegedly causing the disease. I personally use isopathy and had good results when I do. Candida albicans is a good example isopathy we can give this back to the patient if the symptoms of candida causes problems.
Prescribing addictive - This method is based on the assumption that exists in almost all inherited or acquired energy blocking or obstructing the production of a preference for a particular form of the disease. I think you'll agree we all inherit weakness predisposed to the disease. For many, this disease may be cancer or skin diseases. Homeopathy can address this predisposition to particular drugs.
Organ Remedies - This method is based on the assumption that certain drugs have a certain affinity for certain organs and that some patients will benefit from this methodology. I personally believe that homeopathic treatment, liver detoxification is a treatment I use frequently.
Polypharmacy - This method involves prescribing any technique in which two or more drugs are given simultaneously. This method provides two or three drugs works well, but you can find remedies that you can buy off the shelf, sometimes up to 10 or 12 drugs involved. From my experience I have concluded that these drugs act more slowly. I personally advise people to use a medicine, if possible, work quickly and efficiently.
Sequential prescribing - a series of remedies addressing the sequence of events, trauma and the circumstances that contributed to the person's illness. You can think of this as solving the layers that have built up inside the person, any drug will be dealing with one level then it would move to the next level with another drug.
Therapeutics -. Using a series of selected drugs that have proven clinical relationship of a particular disease process
If you want to delve deeper into the different methodologies of homeopathy I recommend this book - Watson, Ian. (1999) Guide to the methodology of homeopathy. Cutting Edge Publications.
I'll end with a quote that I completely agree with
"... one of my goals for homeopathy is that it can be picked up and used by anyone in such a way that is more or less appropriate to the current level of understanding and expertise "(Watson, 1999)
