Homeopathy is actually based on the principle that ‘like is cured by like’. What this actually means is that a substance that causes the symptoms of sickness in a healthy person can also cure the symptoms when they result from disease or illness.
The substances which are utilized in the treatment are called homeopathic remedies. Homeopathic medicines are prescribed not just for the disease alone but are for both the patient as well as their reaction to the illness. In fact, there are over 2000 homeopathic remedies available for treatment.
Homeopathic remedies are well-known for being safe for a wide variety of people including pregnant women, the elderly and even children. The reason is due to the processing of the active ingredients in homeopathic remedies which were diluted many times in order to make it safe.
Similar to other complementary therapies, homeopathy does not attempt to suppress or treat the symptoms. In fact the symptoms were seen as the body’s attempts to try healing itself as well as a positive sign that the immune system is trying to fight the illness and hence they should not be suppressed. The aim of the homeopathic medicines is to stimulate and support the body’s own healing mechanism. For this reason, the homeopathic medicine may in some cases provoke an aggravation whereby the symptoms actually become worse initially before they start to get better.
Before homeopathic remedies are prescribed, the homeopath will start by asking many questions regarding your lifestyle, personality and health which helps them to build up a complete picture of the type of person you are thus enabling them to prescribe the best homeopathic remedy.
Homeopathic remedies for common ailments which are suitable and safe for home use are available in health stores or pharmacies.
