Homeopathy

The Logic Behind It

how Does Homeopathy Work

A basic belief behind homeopathy is “like cures like. ” In other words, something that brings on symptoms in a healthy person can -- in very small doses -- treat an illness with similar symptoms.

Doctors weaken these ingredients by adding water or alcohol. Then they shake the mixture as part of a process called “potentization.” They believe this step transfers the healing essence.

Other Points to Consider

Tailored Remedies

Homeopaths are doctors practicing homeopathy who prescribe customized remedies to every patient seperately. This is because slight variations in mental and physical conditions and symptoms can result in different outcomes. Thus every remedy/medicine is tailored according to the patient.

Body Heals Itself

The basis of homeopathy and the reason for its process of dilution and tailored remedies is based on the belief that human body can heal itself at a much better and progressive rate. Homeopathy fully supports this idea and thus administers medicines in small doses to help the body recover.
