ABOUT HOMOEOPATHY

The human body has an innate ability to heal itself. When the healing process is faulty or slow, homoeopathy can stimulate the immune system to restore health.
People seek homoeopathic treatment for all sorts of complaints. Many now use it as an alternative to conventional medical treatment. Others use it to complement this treatment safe in the knowledge that it will not interfere with the action of the drugs they take.
Homoeopathy is based on the "law of similars" developed by Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy about 220 years ago . It works by prescribing a minute dose of a medicine that when given in larger doses could cause the symptoms a sick person experiences.For example ,it is known that coffee is a stimulant and can disturb sleep . When given as a homeopathic medicine (coffea)to a person experiencing similar symptoms,it will create the opposite effectand improve disturbed sleeping patterns.Homeopathy also treats your personal susceptibility to illness. EACH PERSON IS UNIQUE.We can see that some children in a school of the same class develop a bad cold but others are unaffected because they are not susceptible to infection or their IMMUNITY IS STRONG .It can also be seen in children within the same family where one child is always sickand the other HEALTHY.
HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT does NOT involve seperating the treatment of physical and emotional symptoms.Most people know that EMOTIONAL IMBALANCES such as grief and shock can lead to physical ill ness,if untreated or suppressed.The opposite is also true that pain can cause DEPRESSION ANXIETY AND STRESS.Therefore the MIND and BODY cannot be seperated ,both in disease and health.
