Homeopathy is a naturopathic form of medicine. It is holistic in its approach and treats mental, emotional and physical illness through the use of natural materials.
Sometimes called ‘The Royal Medicine’ or, ‘The Medicine of the 21st Century’, the Royal family in the UK have been utilizing homeopathic medicines since the 1830’s. The eminent Charles Darwin, as well as many other prominent names, also used homeopathic medicines.
“Homeopathy cures a larger percentage of cases than any other method of treatment, and is beyond doubt safer”. – Mahatma Gandhi.
“Homeopathy is the safest and most reliable approach to ailments and has withstood the assaults of the established medical practice for over 100 years”. – Yehudi Menuhin.
Whatever one might say about homeopathy, its use is on the rise. Indeed, it is recognized by The World Health Organisation as the second largest therapeutic system in use in the world today.
Homeopathy can be safely used alongside conventional drugs and will not interfere with the action of any medicines prescribed by a doctor. Homeopathic treatment has an excellent safety record and, because homeopathic medicines are non-toxic, they can be used by babies, children and during pregnancy.
Homeopathy works on the principle known as ‘The Law of Similars’ (similia similibus curantur) or ‘like cures like’. The law states that a substance that can cause symptoms to appear in a healthy person can also cure the same symptoms in a sick person. This principle, which can be traced back to the great Greek physician Hippocrates (460 BC), was further developed and refined by the brilliant Dr Samuel Hahnemann in the 1790’s.
The law can be illustrated by example. In the 19th century German women took the herb Valerian regularly as a stimulant. This led to the overtaxing of the nervous system and caused distress. Yet, if taken in minute doses, valerian has the opposite effect. It relaxes the nervous system and calms the mind.
Another example, of which all of us have some experience, is when you peel or chop an onion your eyes will burn, itch and water. You might have a runny nose and begin to sneeze. If you had similar symptoms during a cold or allergy attack, like hay fever, a homeopathic dose of the remedy Allium cepa (red onion) would help your system to heal itself.
Homeopathy treats the whole individual taking in to account his/her mental, emotional and physical states as there might be underlying causes to the disease. Often, illness is psycho-somatic. This app helps to cure your illness. It helps you, and your loved ones, to lead healthier, happier life-styles. It will also help you to improve the quality of your life by alleviating and curing many an ailment which causes undue distress and suffering.
