Homeopathy is an alternative medicine that is based on the idea that your body is able and capable of healing itself. Homeopathy believes that if you have an illness, your symptoms are a proof that your body is healing itself rather than being symptoms of the illness itself. Hence treating the actual condition will treat the illness, which in a way means that prevention is the mother of all cures. 

Homeopathy prescribes medicines that are gentle on the body, consisting of mainly diluted herbal and mineral mixtures, in the form of a pill or a liquid solution, that are designed to treat specific medical conditions and activate the body’s natural healing process. The idea is to promote overall emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing.

Homeopathy can be used in conjunction with traditional medicine and does not alter the course of regular medication.

If you decide to go to a homeopathic therapist, you will have to answer several questions pertaining to your medical and mental history as the most important thing is to get to the bottom of what your symptoms are and how they are affecting your life. Ultimately, understanding your body’s behavioural pattern will help find you an appropriate homeopathic medicine.

Your response to the treatment or lack of it will guide subsequent treatments. 

 
Homeopathy treatments are non-toxic and have hardly any risk of poisoning. No known side-effects have been reported. On the other hand Homeopathy can help:

• Reduce the risk of common illness, such as colds and flu
• Treat minor injuries and chronic diseases
• Naturally slow down the aging process
• Generally sage on children and pregnant women

As previously stated, Homeopathy poses no potential risks. However, some people believe that it acts like a placebo, or a fake medicine that has no real remedial characteristic, but that can produce perceived or actual positive results.
