What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a type of natural medicine used to treat various symptoms. This medicine has slowly risen in popularity over the years, making it now the second most common form of medicine used in the world. In a typical case of homeopathic healing, a person’s complete symptoms will be treated all at once. Also, once gone, these symptoms should never arise again.
The word “homeopathy” is a form of two words, “homios” and “pathos,” both Greek words. When translated these words mean, “like suffering”. This is an appropriate definition of this medicine form because its methods use poisonous objects in small amounts which work with the body in the process of healing. This form of medicine incorporates objects such as vegetables, minerals, flowers and animal products.
Homeopathic medicine may seem similar to our modern medicine because of its use of treating disease with small forms of the disease itself. One major difference however is the fact that modern medicine suppressed the complications of an illness while homeopathy works together with these symptoms in the healing process. Also, homeopathic medicines do not cause any side effects or addiction and are much more diluted than drugs in modern medicine.
When a person becomes ill, it is the whole that is sick: body, mind, spirit. The body manifests symptoms of illness but it is not the origin of the illness. Upon death, the physical body remains, but it is no longer curable. That which is curable, the 'vital force', has left the body. The origin of illness lies in an imbalance of the vital force. The symptoms expressed by the body, mind, and spirit are the manifestation of that imbalance. By matching the symptoms of illness with the appropriate homeopathic remedy, the vital force returns to balance. The symptoms disappear as the person heals themselves.
Homeopathic Principles
Homeopathy has 4 principles that are its foundation. They remain unchanged over the last 200 years as their truth is demonstrated through successful treatment of the sick.
The cornerstone principle is Similia Similbus Curentur, "Let likes cure likes". Homeopathy actually derives its name from the Greek, homoeo='similar', and pathos='suffering'. Through research and practice Hahnemann verified cure through the use of similars. A substance that can produce disease in a healthy person is used to elicit a healing response in someone presenting with a similar disease. Each person shows symptoms of the body/mind/spirit when they are sick. Some of these symptoms are common to that sickness, others are characteristic of that person in their sickness. The homeopathic practitioner matches the symptom picture of the homeopathic remedy to the symptom picture of the person, with particular attention paid to those symptoms which are unique to the individual.
The second principle of homeopathy is The Single Remedy. Only one homeopathic remedy is given at any one time. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain the action of multiple homeopathic remedies given all at once. The response of the vital force would be unpredictable and ambiguous. Though Hahnemann experimented with this approach he abandoned it as unsatisfactory.
The third principle of homeopathy is The Minimum Dose. This refers to the infinitesimal doses of medicine given as well as to the repetition of dose only when necessary. Drugs given to individuals in material doses frequently cause side effects or adverse reactions. To curtail this problem, the homeopath administers the smallest possible dose so as to maximize beneficial effects and minimize side effects. Repetition of dose is determined by the individual's response to the remedy. Unnecessary repetition may lessen the response, even to the correct remedy. In homeopathy, less is better.
