About HOMOEOPATHY

Homoeo is Greek word which means like, similar, of the same kind. Pathy is Greek word which means Feeling, emotion, suffering, disorder or disease. 

                                                                                                Homoeopathy got originated in the year 1796 by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann and is based on the doctrine of "Similia similibus curentur", which means Likes cure likes. It is based on the fact that if a substance that causes the symptoms of a disease  in healthy people, will cure exactly similar symptoms in the sick people. It is the science of complex symptoms which states that likes are cured by likes.

                                                                                                                    I have experienced and noted that the set of created symptoms, by the same remedy in the same potency and quantity, may differ from one human to other. It mainly depends upon the constitution and the past medical history of the patient. This makes Homoeopathy a complex and unique system of curing diseases.

                                                          Dr. Hahnemann gave Homoeopathy its name in the late 18th century and is also called law of similar. He was extremely clever and  great observer. He observed that the men working on the cinchona tree bark developed similar symptoms to that of malaria. The cinchona tree bark is source of quinine, which is used to treat malaria. Once he saw the evidence of the law of similars, he started thinking deeply about this Phenomenon. He wrote his book six times as he gathered knowledge and experience. He published a complete over view of his new medical system in the year 1810 "The organon of the healing art".

                                                                       Homoeopathy maintains that treating disease by directly opposing their symptoms, as is done in conventional system of medicine, is ineffective.This is because all diseases can generally be traced to some latent, deep seated, underlying chronic or inherited tendency. The underlying miasmas remain in the body, even after conventional treatment and the deep seated elements can be corrected only by deeper disturbance or correction of  the vital force.  

                                             The law of susceptibility implies that a negative state of mind can attract Hypothetical disease entities called 'Miasm' to invade the body and produce symptoms of disease.

                                   Dr. Hahnemann looked for the way to reduce the damaging side effects associated with medical treatment. In the process he observed that symptoms caused by toxic medicines were similar to those of the disease they were being used to treat. He went on to document his work and the text formed the foundation of Homoeopathic remedies. 
                Diluting the  preparation of Homoeopathic remedies was the strange thinking of Dr.Hahnemann. In the  process of dilution the second strange thing was observed. The second strange thing was that by diluting the preparation more and more, the strength of the preparation increased more and more. This phenomenon gave more surprise than ever thought.
             I would like to remind you that by giving stronger and stronger preparation of a remedy, all the cases can not be cured. The strength determination is a great task. Every potency has a corresponding set of illness, which is roughly different from each other in nature and periodicity.
                 Doctors that time did not know how the remedy worked. They talked about the Placebo effect (Psychological & false) and tried to stop Dr. Hahnemann from practising. However continuous effort, excellent results, his admirers and supporters kept it on the path of development.
                          The remedies are prepared by repeatedly diluting a chosen substance in alcohol or distilled water followed by forceful and vigorous striking on an elastic body. Each dilution followed by succession is said to increase the remedy's potency (strength). The potency is the strength or power to cure a set of symptoms. The dilution usually continues well past the point where none of  the original substance remains. 
                                                                                                        Homoeopathy attracts controversy because there is no medicine present in the Homoeopathic preparation after a certain succession. The science requires at least one molecule of a medicine to be called a medicine. No medicine in the  medicine is not a medicine. But more importantly experiments have have already demonstrated that remedies have biological effects and do differ from water or spirit.
                                                                                                                                     To be of real value the facts are indisputable, even if they can not be proved. 
                                                                                                          Does water has the memory? How does the strength increases just by diluting? How is the curing power gained and maintained? How the medincine-less medicine strikes a cause so powerfully? What could be secret of the science of symptoms? How the preparation preserves the curing power for decades & decades? And many more such questions are raised by scientists all over the world. Even tons-and-tons  of theory can never equal one truth that is Homoeopathy-- but only for those who believe it. Long live the name of Dr. Hahnemann.
