The Way Of Homoeopathy: An Introduction

Greetings everyone, we gladly introduce our new blog about homoeopathy & homoeopathic materia medica. We are happy to start our blog about homoeopathy; we will publish our articles about homoeopathy & Homoeopathic medicines, in a week or two weeks.

A little introduction about Homoeopathic system of medicine:

Homoeopathic system of medicine is unique and rational art of healing, which is founded by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann.

Homoeopathy from the Greek: (hómoios, "-like" and páthos, "suffering") is a form of alternative medicine created in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann based on his doctrine of like cures like (similia similibus curentur), whereby a substance that causes the symptoms of a disease in healthy people will cure similar symptoms in sick people. This notion of "like cures like" was similar to the emerging science of inoculation and vaccination.
         

This idea is referred to as the “Law of Similars“, and was understood by Aristotle and Hippocrates and mentioned in ancient Hindu manuscripts. It was Hahnemann, however, who turned it into a science of healing.

Here are examples of this principle:

·        An onion is a substance which makes your eyes water and your nose burn. If you are having an attack of hay fever with watering eyes and a burning nose, a homeopathic remedy made from onion can relieve it.

·        Drinking too much coffee can cause sleeplessness. According to this principle, when coffee is made into a homeopathic medicine, it could be used to treat people that struggle to sleep.

In homeopathic medicines, substances are used in ultra-high dilutions that make them nontoxic. These Homeopathic medicines are manufactured using a process combining serial dilution and succussion (vigorous shaking). Homeopathic medicines are perfectly safe to use for babies, children and pregnant or breastfeeding women, who are under the supervision of a medically-qualified practitioner.

Homoeopathy was introduced in India in 1839 by Dr. Honigberger. Calcutta is known as birth-place of homoeopathy in India. The ancient Hindu physicians had, in fact recognized the "Law of Similars" as one of the principles of treatment. In the Bhagwat Purana, written hundreds of years ago in the Bhagwat Purana - a Sanskrit couplet says "Vishaya Vishmoshashi" to which Homoeopathy took root and flourished.

There are many celebrities who had taken homoeopathic treatment. India’s father of nation Mahatma Gandhi is one of them who had taken homoeopathic treatment and said that it should be more promoted because it is harmless way to cure the patients. A famous actress Lindsay Wagner said that if she wasn’t an actress, she would be a homoeopathic doctor!

There are different modes of treatment, and every method has its own theory, scopes and drawbacks. Homoeopathy cures greater percentage of cases than any other mode of treatment. Many cases have miraculous result in homoeopathic mode of treatment. So we like to spread words about homoeopathy as far as possible. I had seen many young students who blame blindly on homoeopathy; it is because they are so naïve and impatient. If you study homoeopathy carefully and apply its laws in real cases then only you will know its genius. In the end I just only have to say that we will write articles about homoeopathic remedies, clinical cases and many more in this blog so stay tune! Thank you.
