Today we can talk about a steady increase in demand for various homeopathic medicines. The explanation for this phenomenon lies in the overdoses that take place, as well as poisoning with traditional medicines. As an alternative to chemicals, consumers have begun to turn their attention to natural, natural medicines.
The modern market offers homeopathic remedies for all existing diseases. The quality and effectiveness of these natural products are confirmed by the international certificates and diplomas attached to them.
The birth of homeopathy
In the history of medicine, there is information about the possibility of treating like with like. Even Hippocrates considered this principle one of the main components of medical practice. However, only after a few centuries these approaches began to be applied in medicine.
The term "homeopathy" was first introduced in 1796Samuel Hahnemann. This German doctor, in his work, outlined a new approach to research practice, as well as the prescription, use and manufacture of drugs that were not included in the scope of traditional pharmacy.
The essence of homeopathy
What is this teaching and what is its main task? Homeopathy is one of the areas of alternative medicine. Doctors who follow its principles use highly diluted drugs to treat a patient. What is their purpose? A homeopathic remedy can cause a he althy person to exhibit symptoms similar to those of a particular disease. At the same time, the main principle of this direction comes to work, which says that like can only be cured by like. Prescribing this or that natural remedy, the doctor seeks to put his patient on his feet in the shortest possible time.
The difference between homeopathic and pharmacological medicines
How do natural remedies differ from conventional medicines that are offered to us in pharmacies? The action of medicines used by traditional medicine is not aimed at treating, but at eliminating the main symptoms of the disease. A homeopathic medicine taken by a person works quite differently. What does it mean? This remedy will not remove the symptom, which is not a disease at all, but only its manifestation. A homeopathic remedy will only support the body, which itself knows how to eliminate the pathology, in the struggle it will give new strength for the emergence of a full-fledged reaction to the disease. It will speed up the whole processtreatment.
In other words, the homeopathic remedy plays the role of a certain signal. It modifies or triggers human he alth without being directly bactericidal, virusostatic or otherwise.
What is included in homeopathic medicines
You can buy natural alternative medicine in pharmacies. At the same time, the list of homeopathic remedies is quite extensive, and the price for them is quite moderate. However, in order to use these drugs effectively, you need to be aware of their uniqueness and the differences that they have in comparison with traditional medicines.
Many believe that homeopathic medicines contain only plants. However, it is not. Many other biological materials are also used to produce these products. Among them are organs and tissues of mollusks, insects and animals, as well as metals and mineral elements.
Production of homeopathic medicines
The preparation of these natural products has a complex and very intricate technology, consisting of alternations, shaking, weighing and dilutions. All medicines included in the list of homeopathic medicines are obtained by repeated dilution of the main substance. This process is carried out in water or alcohol, which play the role of solvents. This is followed by rubbing the resulting substance in a natural way.
Different kinds of dilution can be applied in the process when preparing a homeopathic remedy. What does it mean? Dilution by 10 times is indicated by the symbol "D", and by 100 - "C". Each of these types indicates the content of the active substance in the solution.
Breeding is carried out repeatedly. For example, each next "D" solution will contain the active substance ten times less than the previous one, and "C", respectively, one hundred.
The standard list of homeopathic medicines includes remedies in medium and small dilutions. However, sometimes you can find drugs in which there is very little active substance. When creating them, a high (C30) degree of dilution was applied.
Form of issue and use
The standard list of homeopathic medicines includes products for internal use, made in the form of granules and extracts. The latter form is considered the most effective in its effect on the body.
Before taking homeopathic remedies, the list and description of these natural remedies must be studied. This will help you choose the right direction of treatment and get rid of the disease faster.
Homeopathic remedies are universal. They can be used not only for oral administration, but also for the manufacture of compresses, rinses and lotions. Homeopathic specialists talk about the complete safety of the drugs they recommend. The action of these natural medicines will not causeside effects and allergic reactions. Impossible with their use and overdose. In this regard, homeopathic medicines are prescribed for patients of any age, including newborns. They will not harm pregnant women, nursing mothers, as well as the elderly.
Classification

- monocomponent;
- multicomponent, or complex.
The first type of homeopathic remedies is prescribed only by a doctor of the corresponding direction. The specialist will write a prescription based on the individual characteristics of the patient's personality.
Complex preparations are often prescribed by doctors of traditional medicine as general tonic natural supplements. You do not need a prescription to buy these medicines.
Cure colds
Getting rid of a runny nose or flu with homeopathic remedies is not at all difficult. A properly selected drug will improve he alth within a few days after the onset of the disease.
When prescribing the right remedy, the homeopathic doctor pays attention to the specific symptoms of the patient. In addition, the specialist places a certain emphasis on the individual characteristics of the patient. All these factors together lead to the fact that different patients suffering from a cold or flu, the doctor may prescribe different homeopathic remedies. Let's dwell on some of them.
So, during the onset of the disease, when there arepain in the throat, muscle weakness and extreme fatigue, accompanied by fever, a homeopathic remedy such as Gelsemium is often prescribed. It should be taken every two hours. Recovery can come the same day.
In a more severe form of the disease, when viscous yellow mucus forms in the ears and paranasal sinuses, it is recommended to take a remedy such as Kalibich along with the Gelsemium remedy. These homeopathic remedies for colds should be taken ten minutes apart.

However, based on the specific symptoms of the patient, other homeopathic remedies can be prescribed by the doctor, which will produce the maximum effect in each specific situation. The right medicine will allow you to get rid of colds on the first day of their manifestation.
Hormonal drugs
What are the main causes of thyroid cysts, mastopathy, uterine fibroids, infertility, nodular goiter? The appearance of these pathologies occurs due to an imbalance in the hormonal background of the body.
The balance of hormones in women is thrown off by pregnancy and menstrual cycles, as well as breastfeeding. Pathology can be caused by stress and malnutrition. Some hormone-dependent diseases are also found in men. Only they occur much less frequently.
Ordinary doctors treat a specific organ. At the same time, the cause of the pathology itself is not eliminated. A large number of hormonal pharmacological agents are prescribed, which create even more disorders in the body.
How to regulate the work of all glands and organs? For this, it is recommended to take homeopathic hormonal preparations. They will allow you to effectively and quickly get rid of the pathology and will not cause any side effects. The list of such funds includes: Sepia and Lanchesis, Actea racemosa, Glonoin and many others. But it is worth remembering that a specific drug for the patient must be prescribed by a doctor. This will most effectively eliminate the existing problem.
Natural Allergy Remedies
Today, a large number of people suffer from this pathology. Some of them feel the symptoms of the disease only at a certain period of the year, while in others the disease has already passed into the chronic stage.
Homeopathic medicines for allergies are treated based on the general principle of this area. It says that like cures like. The use of traditional medicines is ineffective. They only relieve the main symptoms without bringing a full recovery. In contrast, homeopathic remedies:
- not addictive;
- allow the body to develop resistance to allergens;
- do not require dose increase.
In the fight against allergies, a specialist may recommend the followinghomeopathic remedies:
- allium cepa;
- ragweed;
- apis mellifica;
- arum triphyllum etc.
Self-selection of funds is possible only in case of a slight manifestation of allergic reactions. In this case, the absence of a positive result will indicate that the choice of the drug was made incorrectly.
