Homeopathy is a highly effective system of medicine in both acute and chronic diseases. At the same time it has no side effects if used correctly.
According to the WHO, homeopathy is the second most popular and used system of health in the world. Samuel Hahneman in the late eighteenth century gave us formalised Homoeopathy. The principle of treatment that a Medicine which creates similar Symptoms, which are also produced by the Disease are treated by that Medicine. This Principle has been recorded since Classical Greek Times. This Principle is called LIKE CURES LIKE .
Hahneman carried on his work and investigations tirelessly, but could not accumulate enough evidence of Medical Cure using this System. It was in 1812 when he could show the results of Homoeopathy by treating 180 cases of Typhus. Since then the effectiveness of Homoeopathy has been proved in a very very large number of patients. The Same Principle has been extended to all kinds of life including animal life.
Homeopathy is a system of medicine based on a law of nature - the law of similars ("likes cure likes"). In short, it means that a substance that is capable of inducing certain symptoms in a healthy human being, is able to cure these symptoms in a sick individual if it is given in a minimal dose (homeopathically potentized) a simple (and simplified) example: If you cut an onion, your eyes might start to water and your nose might start to run, too. Now, if you have a cold that resembles these symptoms, the onion in a homeopathic dose (called Allium cepa) will help you. By taking the case very thoroughly, i.e. regarding all the physical, mental and emotional symptoms of the patient, the homeopath is able to find a homeopathic remedy which is capable of producing symptoms so similar to the patient's symptoms that it will stimulate the patient's organism to heal itself.
Homeopathy was founded by German physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in 1796. Homeopathy has proven to be a highly effective method of healing for most acute and chronic diseases for more than 200 years; also for more than 200 years homeopathy has proven to be completely free of side effects if used according to homeopathic principles. Unfortunately, homeopathic remedies are often used without sufficient knowledge of these principles (even by practitioners, authors of homeopathy guide books etc.) which can result in adverse effects for the patient.
After the introductory course, you will know about these principles and will be able to use homeopathy more effectively and absolutely safely. Homeopathy treats the cause of disease rather than suppress symptoms. Conventional medicines cannot cure chronic diseases like allergies, excema, chronic pain syndromes and so on. It only suppresses the symptoms with unsatisfactory results and the treatment often causes new problems. Homeopathic physicians hardly ever need to prescribe antibiotics - for the benefit of their patients. Everybody can learn to prescribe for acute diseases. It does not matter for the homeopathic treatment if the infection is viral or bacterial - the law of similars will work. Learning homeopathy will give you a new and deep understanding of what health and illness means
The following points shows the peculiarities of homoeopathy that make it a very sensible choice of treatment:
1. No side effects.
2. No suppression of symptoms for later, more vicious reappearance.
3. No dependence on diagnosis but only a dependence on symptom observation.
4. No need for laboratory trials for the proving of medicines.
5. Allowance for and dependence on a patient's individuality.
6. Whole patient treatment.
7. Homoeopathy appears to work with the body's own disease-combating mechanisms to effect a cure and this constitutes a most natural, humane and effective method of cure.
8. No environmental pollution.
