Homoeopathy is a unique system of medicine that has been in popular use in the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States of America and many other countries for over 200 years. While some of the principles of homoeopathy were in use by the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, it is the German physician Dr Samuel Hahnemann who is credited with the discovery and development of homoeopathy into a system of medicine.

Homoeopathic remedies are unique in their actions, seeking to help stimulate the body’s own defence systems to enable a completely natural cure. Homoeopathy is not to be confused with herbalism (medicine from herbs), or naturopathy (the discipline which brings together all natural therapies).

Homoeopathic medicines are manufactured using a method that dilutes the original substance to a point where there are no molecules of original substance left. Remedies this dilute contain no drugs and create no side effects. Each of the remedies is selected to match a series of symptoms that have been recorded over 200 years of use.

Homoeopathic remedies can be used to assist a number of common problems and ailments, many of which are documented. However, more chronic or long-term conditions can also benefit from consultation with a trained homoeopath. Homoeopathic remedies are so gentle that they can be safely used during pregnancy and by those already taking orthodox medication or suffering from conditions that restrict the use of some medications.

Homoeopathic remedies are used in both hospitals and medical practices, by doctors and lay practitioners alike. In Britain the Royal Family have been confirmed homoeopathic users for over 100 years.

Homoeopathy has also been found to be helpful in animal health care and many pet owners, farmers and veterinarians are using homoeopathic remedies to treat a variety of animal conditions.

Why should homoeopathy be the first choice of therapy ?
Homoeopathy is highly scientific, logical, safe, quick and extremely effective method 
of healing. It offers long lasting to permanent cure, treating the disease from its roots,
for most of the ailments. Homoeopathy is the most rational science with respect to 
its concepts of health, disease and cure. Homoeopathy does not treat superficially 
by just driving away the symptoms but heals the patient from within. Undoubtedly, 
homoeopathy is the medicine of future. 

Homoeopathy: The Holistic medicine :
The concept of disease in homoeopathy is that disease is a total affection of mind 
and body, the disturbance of the whole organism. Individual organs are not the cause
of illness but disturbance at the inner level (disturbance of the life force, the vital 
energy of the body ) is the cause of illness. Therefore homoeopathy does not believe
in giving different medicines for different afflicted parts of body but rather give one 
single constitutional remedy which will cover the disturbance of the whole person. 
Homoeopathy treats the patient as a whole and not just the disease. Medical 
philosophy is coming more and more to the conclusion that the mere treatment of 
symptoms and organs can only help temporarily and that it is the healing power of 
the body as whole that has to be enhanced. Homoeopathy believes in holistic, 
totalistic and individualistic approach.

Homoeopathy: Magic of Minimum dose
Homoeopathy has a unique approach of the method of preparation of the drugs in 
which the end result will contain only the 'dynamic curative power' of the drug 
substance, devoid of any original crude substance. By a special mode of preparation
called 'potentisation', over 2500 homeopathic medicines are prepared from sources 
such as vegetables, animal, minerals, chemicals, etc. Hence homeopathic remedies
with its ultra minute dose are non toxic, absolutely harmless and brings about 
SAFE AND SURE CURE. Homoeopathic remedies are dynamic agents influencing 
body's energy.

Homoeopathy: Better substitute to Antibiotics...
Homoeopathy is an effective alternate to antibiotics in infectious diseases, producing
no toxic side effects and bringing about rapid recovery. Homoeopathy has definite 
treatment for most of the infectious disease such as Sinusitis, Tonsillitis, Bronchitis,
Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, Meningitis, Otitis media (pus from ear), Gastro-enteritis 
(vomiting-diarrhoea), Dysentery, Urinary Infections, etc.

Homoeopathy: Offers best treatment for Viral Infections
Viral infections such as common cold, influenza, measles, chickenpox, mumps, 
viral hepatitis (jaundice), viral meningitis etc. are very well treated with homoeopathy.
Allopathic system has no curative treatment for viral diseases except infusing 
antibiotics under the pretext of preventing secondary bacterial infection.

Homoeopathy: Often avoids Surgery
Homoeopathy is not against surgery. Surgery is an art and science by itself. Surgery
is called forth in the conditions where medicines have limited or no role, and where 
surgical aid, operation can cure or improve the condition. There are number of diseases
which are labeled as 'surgical', where homoeopathy works curatively and can avoid 
surgery. Some such ailments are : Septic recurrent Tonsillitis, Piles, Fissure-in-ano,
Fistula, Appendicitis (except gangrenous), Chronic ear discharge, Vocal cord nodules,
Polyp in nose-ear, Kidney & Biliary (small) stones, small size Uterine Fibroid, 
Ovarian Cysts, Warts , Corns, etc.

Homoeopathy: Answer to Allergic diseases
In modern life infections have diminished and various allergic disorders have grown 
rampant. Homoeopathy offers very effective treatment in all allergic diseases such as
various skin diseases like Urticaria, Eczema, Contact Dermatitis, as well as gives 
unbelievably miraculous results in Asthmatic Bronchitis.

Homoeopathy: Excellent for Psychosomatic ailments
The psychosomatic disorders like Migraine, Asthma, Acidity, Peptic ulcer, Allergy, 
Ulcerative colitis, etc. are successfully treated with homoeopathy. Homoeopathy has
long recognised the psychological origin of somatic (body) symptoms. Homoeopathy 
always examines patient's mental make-up in all cases and remedies are given 
acting at the level of mind and body together, thus eradicating the disease. Perhaps 
no other system of medicine has such a superb approach of tackling the mind-body 
disorders with definite therapeutic agents. Homoeopathic remedies are capable of 
influencing the state of mind. They can specifically act to alleviate emotional disturbance
such as excessive anxiety, irritability, insecurity, obsessive traits, undue jealousy, 
suspicion (paranoid) fears, depression, neurosis etc. By relieving the emotions such 
as above, homeopathic remedies bring about harmonious state of health. Thus 
homoeopathy demonstrates the possibility of the highest goal of medicine, the 
therapy for the person rather than for the disease alone. Homoeopathic remedies 
can cure mental & emotional disturbed states.

Homoeopathic Opinion: A must ...
In this scientific era of health consciousness, the time has come that for the treatment
of any disease which does not respond to any particular line of treatment, one must 
take a homeopathic opinion immediately. Often patients lose their early time going 
to one specialist to another helplessly, without permanent relief, and approach 
homoeopathy only when other medicines fail.

Homoeopathy: Not a last Resort
To obtain the best results and full benefits of homeopathic 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 
homeopathic treatment could be a blessing to the ailing humanity.
