5 Major Benefits of Homeopathy: What it entails and How it works

Homeopathy is the treatment of disease by minute based doses of natural substances that in a healthy person would actually produce symptoms of the disease. In other words, it is an alternative medicine practice that does use the smallest possible amount of an active ingredient in order to help treat or even cure a disease, even if this same ingredient can indeed contribute to an illness in the first place.

There are hundreds of different homeopathic remedies now in existence. Homeopathic medicine does come from a range of natural substances, which can either be plant, mineral or even animal-based. The substances that a homeopathic doctor might tend to use to treat a patient include fresh or dried herbs, activated charcoal, vinegar, garlic, caffeine, mountain herbs, crushed bees, white arsenic, poison ivy and stinging nettle plants. These substances are extracted or processed in another way in order to create tablets, skin ointments, gels, drops or creams.

Homeopathic medicine is considered to be a safe mode of practice. Homeopathy helps treat health issues such as food or even seasonal allergies, insomnia, fatigue and so on using very small doses of natural, safe homeopathic solutions.

How does Homeopathy work?

Homeopathy helps stimulate the immune system and our body’s natural ability to heal. One of the most essential principles of homeopathic medicine is that treatments need to be “individualized” and tailored to each individual person’s requirement, history, body, and needs.

Homeopathy involves a patient’s emotions and personality. The homeopath takes into consideration the stress levels, relationships, personal characteristics, family and so on the details of the patient. Homeopathic remedies such as adaptogen herbs, minerals, medicinal mushrooms or animal products are diluted to certain potency depending on the requirements of the patient’s needs, and the goal is to ensure that minimum dose is made use of.

Apart from interviewing the patient, lab tests are also commonly carried out to help the homeopathic doctor to know more about the patient’s condition. Lab tests are not the end-all-be-all as they are viewed in light of the patient’s symptoms and are self-reported. A holistic approach is taken while treating the patient.

Key facts about homeopathy and how it works:

• Homeopathic doctors initially evaluate a patient and also identify symptoms of an illness in order to “match” them with a remedy. Symptoms are rather usually graded depending on their intensity and frequency, and then specific remedies are indeed assigned.

• As homeopathy is considered to be a “holistic” practice, the patient’s entire lifestyle, habits and background are considered. Much emphasis is on emotional symptoms and conditions that might be rather contributing to an illness. In homeopathy, mental and emotional symptoms are so important that they even, in fact, outweigh many physical symptoms. It is believed that someone’s personality, beliefs, and mental/emotional symptoms are characteristic of the entire individual and do affect their ability to heal.

• Many homeopathic remedies do have names written in Latin (after their animal, mineral or plant source) and are indeed assigned a number and ratio to describe how strong the solution is.

• It is common for homeopathic medicines to be called “tinctures” or “mother tinctures,” which are simply solutions made from either grinding, distilling or extracting active ingredients into some sort of carrier (usually either alcohol or water).

• Based on the number of “potentization steps” needed, a homeopathic remedy is diluted to a certain degree and assigned based on the intensity of symptoms. Decimal potency numbers or ratios are given to each remedy, in order to state the ratio of active chemical ingredients in relation to either water or alcohol.

• In homeopathic medicine, there is an important distinction between “potency” and “strength” of a remedy. A remedy is not always considered to be stronger or better if it is more potent since each person’s reaction to potency will be different.

• Several homeopathic substances are rather capable of causing toxicity, poisoning or negative reactions if consumed in high enough doses (like mercury, arsenic or even snake venom, for example). Therefore, very low doses are usually administered — even doses so low that the substance is by itself if practically unidentifiable due to be being heavily diluted.
