Why Homeopathy
Homeopathy can help with minor ailments such as cuts, bruises, burns, indigestion, coughs and colds. It’s also effective for long-term issues such as period pain, menopausal symptoms, migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, eczema, and irritable bowel syndrome.
What is Homeopathy
Homeopathy is an alternative method of treatment, developed by the German doctor Samuel Hahnemann more than 200 years ago, which is based on the principle “like cures like”.
Specially prepared remedies are used for treatment. They can be made from any substance existing in nature: plant, animal, mineral origin. 🌿🐍🏔 The method of preparation of the medicine is dynamization, one of the main features of homeopathy. Dynamization or potentising of homeopathic remedies is their vigorous shaking after each dilution, followed by hitting the bottle on a hard flexible surface.
The second feature is the method of selection of the remedy. This is done by analysing the correspondence of the symptoms and individual characteristics of the patient to the symptoms that were identified during testing of the remedy on healthy volunteers.
One of the basic concepts of homeopathy is the vital force. Hahnemann said that in a healthy state a person is controlled by a spiritual vital force that animates the physical body of a person. He believed that when a person falls ill, his vital force is initially affected. In this case, it has no other way than to show its disorder through disruption of the normal functioning of the body and suffering, i.e. in the symptoms of the disease. Therefore, the totality of all the symptoms and conditions of the disease is the only guide in choosing a medicine. The vital force in this way “speaks” to the homeopath.
Disease is a dynamic expression of the disorder of the harmony and rhythm of the vital force. In treating a disease, we turn to another source of dynamic force, which acts almost synchronously with the disordered vital force of the organism. Boger illustrates this with the example of a train: to stop a rolling train, a locomotive is sent not to meet it, to stop it by force, but after it, in the same direction. The locomotive picks up speed until it catches up with the train, and then, having attached itself to it, it can reduce its speed. So a homeopathic remedy, which has a similar rhythm and similar symptoms to a specific disease, can return the vital energy to a healthy state. In a healthy state, the vital force manifests itself in a general feeling of well-being and excellent functioning of all body systems.
