Frequently Asked Questions
|
| |
| Are homeopathic medicines safe? |
| |
| Absolutely! Homeopathic
medicines are given in sub-physiological doses. They do not
have any chemicals or added colors in them. Usually they do not
have any side effects and they cannot cause any structural damage
in general. They are safe for infants and pregnant women too. But
homeopathic medicines often
have very profound action on human economy, so they should not be
taken without consultation with a qualified homeopath. |
| |
| How do homeopathic medicines work? |
| |
|
Homeopathic
medicines act by stimulating body's own defense mechanism to
correct the process which has lead to the disease condition. According
to our current understanding, the medicines act as a electromagnetic
signal, which is picked up by nerves and relayed to higher centers
of the brain, which in turn stimulates our bodies healing powers
to take specific corrective measures. Medicines tell the body 'What
to do?' - the actual work is done by the body itself. |

| How does one take homeopathic medicines? |
| |
| Homeopathic
medicines are available in sugar pills and in liquid form. The
exact way of administration depends upon the medicine, its potency,
the condition being treated, and the sensitivity of the patient.
At one time a few sugar pills or a few drops of liquid medicine
may be given. But the exact method and the repetition of medicine
depends upon the above mentioned factors. So ask your homeopath
before taking any homeopathic medicine. |
| |
| What dietary measures and life-style
changes are required under homeopathic treatment? |
| |
| This varies from physician
to physician. Some restrict too many things like coffee, tobacco,
spices etc, while others do not put any restrictions. In general,
if a food-substance is playing a causative, maintaining, or aggravating
factor, only then it should be avoided. Some substances like camphor
are considered a general antidote to many homeopathic
medicines and should therefore be avoided or taken into account.
Life-style changes are also required only if life-style is contributing
to disease condition. Homeopathic
medicines act on a very deep plane; so they are usually not
affected by routine dietary articles and the routine stress of our
lives. |
