Homeopathy
|
Homeopathic medicines act in quite a different
way to traditional or Allopathic medicines. Allopathic medicines
work by directly treating the symptoms of the illness. Homeopathic
medicines work by mimicking the illness-this in turn acts as
a trigger for the bodies own healing forces to come into play.
Dr Samuel Hahneman is the essential founder of Homeopathy. He
discovered that if you dilute the medicinal extract it reduced
the toxicity but made the medicinal extract more medically active.
So paradoxically the chemically weaker the Homeopathic Medicine
the stronger was its ability to cure! In 1810 he produced his
Materica Medica, which has proved to be the Homeopathic Practitioners
most useful reference work.
Because Homeopathic medicines can be chemically weak it is important
not to touch them with your hands. If you do touch them with
your hands, you will reduce the efficacy of the medicine you
are taking due to contamination. Even with freshly washed hands
this can occur due to the sensitive nature of the medicine.
Either pop them in your mouth directly out of the container
or use a Nelsons Clikpak Dispenser. This allows a hands off
approach to taking your medicines. |

As a final comment many people believe that Herbal and Homeopathic
medicines are one and the same. Now you can see that that is
quite wrong, as Herbal medicines are actually Allopathic in
nature. |
