There are two ways of treating the sick individual. One is by the law of opposites and the other is by the law of Similars. Homoeopathy works on the law of Similars. Simply, it means: -A medicine, which can produce sleeplessness in a healthy individual, can cure the complaint of sleeplessness in a sick individual. A medicine that can produce diarrhea in a healthy individual can cure a person suffering from diarrhea. The medicine once taken stimulates and enhances the body's own mechanism to fight the disease. It corrects the body's immunity, which in turn fights the disease.
THIS IS NOT TRUE! Homoeopathy can give quick effective results within 5 to 10 minutes in severe gallstone, renal and abdominal colic. It can bring down temperatures in just 10 minutes in case of high fevers and works effectively in malaria, typhoid etc. However in chronic cases of arthritis, skin allergies, asthma etc. affecting the patient since 15-20 years the remedy must be given 6 months to a year to treat the problem effectively....
Any medicine that has effects has side effects. Homoeopathic medication if taken without the supervision of a qualified Homoeopath can have adverse effects. The reasons why our medication has no side-effects are as follows: • The quantity is minimum. • The remedy is prepared by serial dilutions to liberate its healing properties. This process is called potentisation where its physical quantity is reduced and its potential is enhanced. • The homoeopath goes through a painstaking two-hour procedure to find the remedy most suited to your entire personality. It is this intricate detailed Similarity between the patient and his medication that nullifies any chances of side effects.
Our medication can be taken on empty stomach, after breakfast, after lunch or at anytime of the day. The only precaution is to keep the mouth clean 15 -30 minutes before and after the dose. This is necessary to allow proper absorption of the medication through the tongue.
NO !! A well-selected Homoeopathic remedy has the capacity to bring about a drastic change in the patients complaints. People at time feel that a steroid is used to bring about this change. But its not true, when the right remedy works, the patient not only sees a change in the complaints but also at the level of his general state, general well being which doesn't happen when on steroids. Also long term use of steroids have their side effects like weight gain, moon face, excessive body hair to name a few. The commonly performed test to find out steroids is the "Colorimetric Method" test which gives a false positive result for any reducing sugar, aldehyde (Homeopathic medicines are sugar , lactose & alcohol based) . The best test to find out if the medicine contains steroids is the "Liberman Buchard" test. Thin layer chromatography method & a UV absorption method. This method helps in differentiating & finding out if the substance indeed contains steroids
Homoeopathic medication can last very long when preserved in dry conditions and away from sunlight in a cool dark place. They must be discarded when they get moist or change colour to a yellow taint. We prescribe medication for overseas patients, patients on ship etc, for six months at a stretch. Please remember that the medication must be kept away from strong smelling substances like camphor, mint, menthol , strong oils and perfumes etc.
