HOMEOPATHY - INTRODUCTION

 

It is the dream of every mother to give birth to and rear a healthy child. Children are like innocent buds, free of malice and avarice. They are also fresh like dew drops, as yet unaffected by the surrounding pollution. Thus it becomes vital to safeguard them against any superfluous hindrance that could affect their growth either physical or mental. The remedies for the ailments they commonly suffer from should also ideally be as close as possible to nature for their safe implementation. Homeopathy seems to be one such magical remedy, which is close to nature. Children do not panic to take homeopathic remedies as they are sweet. In fact, they actually enjoy doing so. Homeopathic remedies are by and large harmless and at the same time can be conveniently mixed with milk or water to increase their compliance. It could definitely be the door to which parents could turn to if they wish to opt for a safer health-restoring alternative. Many of us when ill, attribute our sickness to bacteria, viruses, allergens and other such similar elements. Consequently, we end up trying to treat the disease by focusing our so called orthodox therapeutic tools only on doing away with these assailants rather than concentrating on the person afflicted as a whole. Homeopathy is one such science, which aims at treating a person as a whole by making use of therapeutic measures to perk up the natural healing systems of the body. Homeopathy finds its base on the principle which states that disease symptoms occur as a result of an opposition of the attack by such and similar assailants aforementioned, by the resistance of the body. This is achieved by making use of specialized homeopathic medicines, which are actually highly diluted forms of substances that occur in nature, in a dose which is of full strength. Thus a said homeopathic remedy actually produces the symptoms of the illness in an otherwise healthy person. By common consensus the homeopaths conclude that the closer a remedy mimics these symptoms of the patients, the better the healing. Further, the more dilute the dose the greater is its effect.
