Substances that produce disease-like symptoms in healthy humans can cure the same in a sick person .

This forms the basis of Homoeopathic therapeutics. Eg. Chopping onion causes burning and watery eyes for a short period of time . Homoeopathic medicine made out of raw onion is used in treating Common cold with burning eyes and runny nose. Similar to this , there are many substances around us that affect us and cause sickness. Homoeopathy uses these to produce remedies that treat this ailments.

“ Is it used directly to make the medicine ? “  No. There is a scientific process , tested and approved world-wide. Let me explain how’s , what’s , why’s and when’s of Homoeopathy Here are 10 facts about Homoeopathy you never knew.

How was Homoeopathy discovered

Dr. Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), a German physician , discovered homoeopathy in the late eighteenth century. The popular medical system at that time was crude and potentially dangerous for the patient. The methods of treating patients during those days included blood- letting , purging and multi-drug therapy. Dr.Hahnemann developed homoeopathy such that it provided safe , simple and easy system of therapeutics that was centred around the patient and his feeling of the sickness. He tested the medicines on himself to prove its disease causing and curative capacities. Based in the principle of Similai Similibus Curenter , Homoeopathy believed in administering medicines in a power just enough to produce symptoms stronger that the illness and treat it.

What substances are used in making Homoeopathic  remedies

Homoeopathic medicines are prepared from animals discharges , products , plant extracts or parts , minerals , metals and other natural substances. We are affected by  and fall sick due to many things living or non-living around us. Most of the entities in our immediate environment are used to produce homoeopathic medicines. The place , circumstances and behaviour of the source of medicine determine the characteristics it exhibits during drug-proving. This set of symptoms guides your homoeopath to the precise medicine that will treat you well.

The medicines are not given directly to the patients. Pills , pellets or powder made out of processed and purified goat milk or sugarcane extracts. They are inert in action , that is they do not have any action of their own. They act as medium of giving medicines. Basic non-acting oils and petroleum jelly and pharmaceutical grade creams are used to make ointments and lotions.

How homoeopathic medicines are made

          The base of homoeopathic dilutions is medical alcohol. This is a pure non-reaction alcohol that makes administration of Homoeopathic doses convenient and easy.

The process by which homoeopathic medicines are made are called  ‘potentisation ‘ and ‘succusion’ methods.

Potentisation involves proportional dilution of desired remedy. Succusion is systematic and calculated vigorous vibration of proportional dilution to potentise it. This process is called “dynamization”. Dynamization accentuates the inherent curative power of the drugs to maximum while erasing its toxicity to make it side-effect free. The medicines are then proved in healthy human beings, of all age groups and all races , to ascertain their curative properties.

How do Homoeopathic drugs treat illness

Human body exhibits a stern immune response to every allergen that attempts to sicken you. When this body resistance is dented signs of illness appear. Intensity of the disease causing agents, your body defence mechanism and the difference between them decides the extent of your  suffering. Homoeopathic drugs repair and enhance your body’s vital energy. This will not only treat your sufferings but keep you healthy for a longer period of time. Homoeopathic medicines not only annihilate causative entities but sooth presenting complaints quickly. These remedies trigger specific immune responses directed towards the distressing symptoms that you experience. Long and extensive case-taking gives your homoeopath insight into every aspect of your illness and precise medicines to treat it.

What all illnesses can Homoeopathy treat

Homoeopathy treats you as a person. Every illness causes multisystem derangement of functions in your body. Think of the last time you had fever. Not only the body temperature rose but you felt headache , weakness , leg cramps or gastric  troubles too. You could not concentrate on work too and did not enjoy your favourite food.

Homoeopathy treats each and every complaint that you may suffer. Physical , Functional , Psychological suffering are addressed with easy and simple approach. For more information about what homoeopathy can treat you may visit www.quickhomeo.in.

Why is homoeopathy said to be slow

Inspite of consistant good results , homoeopathy still cannot prove its mantle due to basic difference in approach

to treatment and medication. Popular image of Homoeopathy makes it the last choice in most patients. This perception has changed in the recent past though. During COVID-19 pandemic times Homoeopathy came to the rescue of the anxious masses with immunity boosters.

          Not an excuse , but patients approach Homoeopathy as the last resort , when other medicines have failed and the disease had become chronic. Homoeopathy treatment has it’s hand full. Results are slow to appear.

          There are certain illnesses that have their roots in emotional hurts or old habits. Sickness due to environmental or allergic causes or your bad habits act as maintaining cause and make Homoeopathy treatment slow.

          Remember that Homoeopathy will not attempt to suppress or just keep complaints in control ,  it will treat the root cause of your diseases.

Why do most countries reject homoeopathy results

 Concentration of Homoeopathic remedies are such that it is difficult to demonstrate their presence. Homoeopathy postulates that with each level of dynamization   the medicinal substance decreases and curiative power increases. This theory is not approved in many countries , they agree to the efficacy of treatment though.

Many countries discard Homoeopathic treatment as placebo and the results as feel good effect of extensive case-taking process that works as therapeutic. Isn’t it fabulous , getting better just by talks. There are economic reasons for rejection of Homoeopathy in some countries due to pharma industry dominance.

When should I start homoeopathic treatment

There are two modes of Homoeopathic treatment- preventive and curative.

Preventive Homoeopathy : It aims at keeping you away from sickness. In our daily life , our strife to success we are exposed to many disease causing agents. Not all conditions suit our physique or body constitution. You need help to combat these maintaining entities.

          Start Homoeopathic treatment immediately. It will not only treat the symptoms you may be suffering but also improve immunity too.

Curative Homoeopathy : Homoeopathic remedies will produce results as quickly as you take them. I would advice you to understand the character and intensity of your complaints. If severe you should visit a specialist physician who will prevent complications and save life. You may then seek Homoeopathic treatment. I am in no way suggesting Homoeopathy is inadequate to treat emergencies. I am just suggesting practical solutions.

          For non-serious complaints , visit a Homoeopath near you . Express symptoms extensively and follow the instructions of your Homoeopath.

Whom should I consult for homoeopathy

          This is important. Since Homoeopathy medicines produce almost negligible side-effects , anyone and everyone prescribe them. We saw this during COVID-19 pandemic. In the quest to show one-up-man-ship people prescribe non-analysed Homoeopathic medicines that complicate your complaints.

          Always consult a qualified Homoeopathic practitioner near you. Never buy over-the-counter medicines if not prescribed by a Homoeopath. You can consult us online. Open www.quickhomeo.in navigate and select your illness , click your symptoms for the list provided and checkout. We will assess and consult you online before dispatching you the medicines

What precautions should I take.

          After consulting and narrating all that your Homoeopath questions , he/she will prescribe medicnes along with few restrictions and diet/exercise tips. Clearly understand them. Specific group of Homoeopathic medicines have certain restrictions and rules. Your Homoeopath will elaborate them to you and your attendant.

          Here are a few common precautions :

  • YOUR MOUTH MUST BE DRY WHILE TAKING HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINES.
  • Never take Homoeopathic medicines after consuming tobacco , gutkha or alcoholic drinks.
  • Do not take pills in the palms of your hand.
  • Take Homoeopathic medicines before  other medicines. Firstly your mouth will be dry to make these medicines effective and other medicines might leave smell ot colour in your mouth.
  • Some medicines are not to be taken at certain times of the day. Ask your homoeopath regarding this.

When do Homoeopathic drugs show side-effects

Homoeopathic medicines do not show ‘side-effects’. They produce slight increase in your symptoms , but this is transient and last not more than 2 to 4 hours.

When your complaints increase it means the illness is getting complicated. Re-consider whether you forgot to tell something to your Homoeopath and re-understand dosage. Consult your Homoeopath and sort out the issue.

Cross reaction of Homoeopathic medicines with other medicines ( Ayurvedic , Allopathic , Herbal etc.) is rare and the effects vanish soon after stopping the medicines.

Overdose or wrong method of taking medicines may cause adverse reactions which are often self-limiting.
