What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a safe and natural method to repel imbalance out of the body and allow the body to heal. Homeopathy stimulates the body's ability to heal with very small amounts of natural substances.
Homeopathic remedies (also called homeopathics) are a system of medicine based on three principles:


::Like cures like
For example, if the symptoms of your cold were similar to poisoning by mercury, then mercury would be your homeopathic remedy.

::Minimal Dose
The remedy is taken in an extremely diluted form, the average ratio normally being one part of the remedy to around 1,000,000,000,000 parts of water.

::The Single Remedy
No matter how many symptoms are experienced, only one remedy is taken, and that remedy will be aimed at all those symptoms.

Similar principals form the basis of conventional allergy treatment, where the allergic substance is given in a small dose, and in vaccines where an impotent form of the virus is given to bolster the immune system against that particular virus.



Is Homeopathy an alternative to swallowing pills?

Homeopathy is not an alternative to swallowing pills, but an alternative way of treating the disease. Yes, it is an excellent alternative to those who cannot swallow large pills or have digestive problems. Most homeopathic remedies are in small tablets that instantly dissolve in your mouth. They are absorbed through the saliva, bypassing the need for further digestion. Homeopathic remedies usually have no taste, or if there is a taste, it is mild and sweet. Homeopathy is a wonderful solution for those with sensitive digestive systems. Children also love homeopathics, with no large capsules to swallow or awful tasting liquids to drink. Homeopathic remedies can also be purchased as liquids or dissolved in water.



How Long Does It Take To See Results?

In Homeopathy we are dealing with finding the remedy that allows the body to heal itself, so there are no absolutes in how long a remedy will take, or if another remedy will be needed.

In certain acute cases, taking a remedy only once or twice will remove the imbalance whereas cases of injury and temporary illness may need frequent doses. These could be as often as every 1/2-hour. Remedies often need to be taken longer in chronic conditions.

::Remedies often need to be taken longer because we still have the stressor in our lives that caused the imbalance.

::Remedies need to be repeated if there is food or actions in our lives that counter the action of the remedy.

::Remedies taken in lower potencies stay in our systems for short periods of time and may need repeating.

Acute illnesses may need frequent doses until complete healing is obtained. Homeopathic remedies are safe and natural. They do not become less effective taken over time or build up in the system.
