Homeopathy
Homeopathy, a therapeutic system grounded in the principle of "like cures like," operates on the belief that a substance causing specific symptoms in a healthy person can treat similar symptoms in an unhealthy individual. The approach aims to support and activate the body's natural defense and immune processes. Derived from plants, animal materials, and minerals, homeopathic medicines are individually prescribed to align with each person's unique needs. The key characteristics include:
​
-
Principle of Similars: Like cures like, addressing symptoms with substances that would cause similar symptoms in a healthy person.
-
Stimulation of Body's Defenses: Homeopathy seeks to aid and stimulate the body's innate defense and immune mechanisms.
-
Diverse Sources: Medicines are derived from plants, animal materials, and minerals.
-
Personalized Prescriptions: Tailored to each individual's unique symptoms and constitution.
-
Non-toxic and Dilute Doses: Administered in significantly smaller and non-toxic doses compared to pharmaceutical medications.
-
Prevention and Treatment: Used for both preventive measures and active treatment.
-
Safety: Homeopathic medicines, being highly dilute, are considered very safe, particularly suitable for children who often respond positively to this approach.
