Homeopathy is one of the methods of alternative medicine. It can cure the patient of the disease in cases where traditional methods of therapy are powerless.
What is homeopathy?
Homeopathy has been around for over 200 years. It has proven itself as a safe and fairly cheap method of treatment. In 1991, the Ministry of He alth of Russia officially recognized homeopathy. This is a special technique for the treatment of chronic and acute diseases. This method is based on the use of specially prepared products that contain very small doses of the original drug of natural origin. Homeopathic treatment differs from conventional pill therapy in a strictly individual approach to each patient. The concept of disease is associated with the suffering of the whole organism as a whole. Many people believe that homeopathy is a treatment with herbs or natural substances in minimal doses. These opinions are true, but only partly.
The history of homeopathy
In the second half of the 18th century, namely in 1776, the German physician and scientist Hahnemann wrotearticle about this method of treatment of diseases. It is this date that is considered the year of the birth of homeopathy. The article first outlined the basic principles of unusual medicine, they were as follows:
- Like cures like. The doctor needs to prescribe to the patient such a medicine that can cause the symptoms of the disease in a he althy person. That is, according to the assumptions of the scientist Hahnemann, getting into the body, a homeopathic remedy causes the so-called medicinal disease, which subsequently replaces the natural disease. But this can only happen when the ailment from the remedy is strong and palpable. The principle of similarity is the basis of getting rid of diseases in a way like homeopathy. The disease will not recede if it is not observed, and the whole process of therapy will be wasted.
- The use of drugs in small doses in a diluted state, but with constant dynamics. The idea of this principle is that the effect of drugs on the human body can increase and differ from the effects of the same drug, only in large doses.
- The medicinal properties of drugs must be determined by testing them on he althy people. Hahnemann conducted tests first on himself, then on members of his family. After a successful test on relatives, volunteers were involved in this case. The people who took the drugs were of different ages and classes. Such drugs were used for a long time, and all the complaints and feelings of the experimenters were carefully recorded. After the end of the research, for eachthe drug was a detailed recommendation for use. All symptoms were entered in a special reference book of homeopathic medicines called "Medication".
What does homeopathy treat?
Until now, many people have some distrust of homeopathy and treat any disease in the traditional way. And in most cases, the patient gets an appointment with a specialist doctor only after unsuccessful attempts to improve his he alth, when the disease is in a neglected state, and the number of medications taken is very large. In these situations, homeopathy can help the patient. However, a person who has a good supply of internal strength has a better chance of recovery. Another condition is if the amount of medication taken is minimal. The effectiveness of such medicine has been experimentally proven in chronic and functional disorders of the body. Treatment such as homeopathy is a quality aid in the treatment of the following diseases:
- Diseases of the nervous system.
- Vegetative-vascular dystonia.
- Paralysis

. This list of homeopathic effects is not limited. Alternative medicine treats inflammatory processes asmale and female genital organs, prostatitis, violation of the cycle of menstruation, kidney disease. Also, homeopathic treatment promotes healing of the skin and fights against its various ailments, such as eczema, psoriasis, urticaria, boils and warts, etc.
Despite the impressive number of diseases that homeopathy can help to cope with, there are a large number of ailments in the fight against which this method of therapy is practically powerless. These are tumors, appendicitis, pneumonia, multiple sclerosis, etc.
To date, there is no clear definition of such a method of treating diseases as homeopathy. This is both a folk method of herbal treatment, which is called "phytotherapy", and a method of self-hypnosis, which is only a fraction of the truth and does not fully cover the essence of the concept.
