WHAT EXACTLY IS HOMEOPATHY? HOW IT CAN CURE YOUR HEALTH?

#INTRODUCTION

Today in this goddamn world, health is considered as one of the major aspects of living and enriching the value of ourselves. As whatever we want to achieve for that is one of the major wealth of a particular person. To get good health from ancient times many types of research had been done and many forms of health curing facilities are discovered and invented. There are many techniques of medical sciences like Traditional Chinese medicine, Acupuncture and many massage techniques. Among them, homeopathy is one about which we are going to discuss in brief.

#WHAT EXACTLY IS HOMEOPATHY?

Homeopathy is an alternative form of medicine. Based on the basic theory of 'like with like' and the second theory of 'law of minimum dose'.Homeopathy claims to stimulate healing responses to the diseases by administering a substance that mimics the symptoms of those diseases in healthy people.  

Homeopathy is a 200 years old technique of medical science, helps in the treatment of certain kinds of diseases by stimulating a healing response to the body of a person who was suffering from certain problems. This technique strengthens the body's ability to heal itself.

Its effectiveness is yet not proven by medical science. But due to its broad-spectrum disease curing ability, it has always attracted people towards itself for its use.

#HOW HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES ARE MADE 

Homeopathic medicines are majorly made from natural substances like microparticles of plants, animals, and small mineral particles. Homeopathy can stimulate the body's response to the diseases by using especially pre-paired, highly diluted preparations.

These homeopathic medicines are made by using the concept of continuous dilution and shaking. As when 12+ dilution is done, there is no discernible chemical trace of the original substance. And these granules could be easily used for making medicines. 

#WHY HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES ARE NOT VACCINES?  

We cannot say homeopathic medicines as vaccines as immunity is a medical term which means that body is stimulated to develop a kind of resistance to a variety of infections, vaccines are made from dead or weakened matter of germs. They make antibodies to produce immunity. Homeopathic medicines instead of just giving an indirect puss to the immune system it majorly works on our body.

 #WHY HOMEOPATHY IS GOOD?

 *Homeopathy has the holiest nature that means each person is treated as a unique individual and their body, mind, spirit, and emotions are considered in the management and prevention of the disease. 

 *Homeopathy allows taking appropriate medicines for every person according to their symptoms.

 *Our healing potential is increased to another level.

 *These kinds of medicines are very safe and do not have any side effects.

 #HOW CAN HOMEOPATHY CURE HEALTH?

Homeopathy is that kind of pseudoscientific form of medical treatment. Whose capacity and effectiveness to cure a disease is just mind-blowing.The curing by homeopathic treatment can be understood broadly under the following headings.

 *HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT

Homeopathic doctors work a similar way to conventional doctors. They firstly will work on your mentality towards the disease. For them, it is as an individual as it is a unique way in which a doctor knows your symptoms more effectively.

When a homeopath would have considered all the person's symptoms( physical, emotional, and mental)and identify the remedy that is, capable of providing in a healthy person, symptoms most like the symptoms the person is suffering. Homeopathic medicines in the form of liquid, powder, or tablets are advised according to the requirement.

The practitioner may advise the general lifestyle and diet as a part of the treatment plan. 

*HOW HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES WORK?

The working of homeopathic medicines yet remains a mystery, but we can say it as the power of small doses. These doses contain very small atomic granules of plants, animals, etc. When these small atomic particles strike a very real power is released, which helps our body to become healthy.

 #SOME COMMONLY USED HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES

*Aconite (monk shot). 

*Aesculus hippocastanum( horse chestnut).

*Baptista ( wild indigo).

*Calendula( marigold).

*Colocynthis( squirting cucumber).

Whole-Person Treatment

One of the major differences between alternative and traditional medicine is their approach towards the disease. Conventional medicine treats disease as a distinct entity from the person carrying it. Although the specialization trend has led to many treatment advances, there is a disadvantage associated with this approach.

Physicians have become distanced from the healthy parts of the patient’s body. Alternative medicine, on the other hand, focuses on whole-body care. Instead of treating just one part of the body, they would focus on the remaining parts as well.

In the case of alternative medicine, you can have appoints to prevent diseases in the future. After all, prevention is better than cure.

Cost

Cost is another major benefit of alternative medicine. Unlike conventional medical treatments, you will not have to pay thousands of dollars.

For instance, the chiropractic and acupuncture sessions would cause you less in comparison to the traditional pain relieving treatments. 

Personal Attention

Since alternative medicine work on the whole body and not just one aspect of the body, therefore, the practitioners have to give patients proper time. Every individual would get a great deal of attention from his or her respective practitioner.

On the contrary, traditional physicians do not have the time or the resources to give every individual a great deal of attention. They have to manage with the insurance companies, have packed rooms and several other issues.

So, if you want one-on-one attention, going to an alternative medicine practitioner would be a better choice. Their different fee structures and philosophies would help you get all the attention that you need.

Side Effects

You simply cannot deny the fact that almost all traditional medicines have some sort of side effects. In some cases, some side effects can be extreme. Thus, leading to multiple issues. In the case of alternative medicine, you will not have this particular problem.
