Homeopathic Remedies
Homeopathic remedies come from the system of medicine called Homeopathy, created in the late 1700’s by the German physician Samuel Hahnemann. The idea behind it is quite different from conventional medicine.
The Basic Idea
Homeopathy is based on a principle called Law of Similars, which means:
“Like cures like.”
In simple terms:
A substance that can cause symptoms in a healthy person may be used in very tiny amounts to stimulate the body to heal those same symptoms.
Example:
- A chopped onion makes your eyes water and nose run.
- A homeopathic remedy made from onion might be used for allergy symptoms with watery eyes and a runny nose.
Why the Doses Are So Small
Homeopathic remedies are made through a process called Potentization.
This involves two steps repeated many times:
- Dilution – The original substance is diluted in water or alcohol.
- Succussion – The mixture is vigorously shaken.
Homeopaths believe this process:
- removes toxicity
- leaves behind the energetic imprint of the substance
- stimulates the body’s self-healing ability
By the time many remedies are finished, the dilution is extremely high.
What Remedies Are Made From
Homeopathic remedies can come from many natural sources:
- Plants (like arnica or belladonna)
- Minerals
- Animal substances
- Sometimes natural compounds or elements
-
Frequencies from the Biofeedback can be helpful
They are usually sold as:
- tiny sugar pellets
- liquid drops
- tablets
How They Are Thought to Work
In homeopathy, the remedy is believed to:
- Trigger the body’s healing response
- Help rebalance the body’s vital energy
- Address the whole person, not just one symptom
A homeopath may choose different remedies for two people with the same illness depending on their symptoms, mood, and overall constitution.
