Homeopathy is a system of natural medicine that stimulates the body’s natural ability to heal itself. We get sick because of one’s inner weakness of the defence mechanism which is able to face up to the invasion of microbes, viruses or other elements that develop the disease. In fact, most often the body heals naturally all the time. However, sometimes the body’s defence fails thus leading to disease or sickness. Homeopathic remedies stimulate the body’s self-regulating mechanisms to initiate the healing process giving power to eliminate the disease and restore to health.

Homeopathy is widely utilized for maintaining overall health and has demonstrated positive outcomes in managing a broad spectrum of chronic conditions. These include anxiety, chronic fatigue, depression, ADHD, migraines, persistent headaches, hormonal imbalances, allergies, rhinitis, sinusitis, bronchitis, tonsillitis, chronic conjunctivitis, otitis, atopic dermatitis, arthritis, psoriasis, warts, gastritis, colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, premenstrual syndrome, urinary tract infections, cystitis, and bedwetting, among others. Additionally, homeopathy is effective in addressing minor injuries such as cuts, scrapes, muscle strains, and sprains.

The follow-up appointment is our first opportunity to evaluate the effect of the homeopathic prescription. It is important to realise that treatment of chronic diseases is a slow process that takes time. The follow-ups are crucial in the healing process, and this allows you to tailor the treatment based on the changes after the first remedy. Your homoeopath will require regular follow-up visits in order to assess your body's response to the remedy and to decide whether to repeat it, change its potency, or determine if it is time to move on to another remedy. The number of consultations that may be needed is difficult to predict—it depends on a number of factors such as the age of the patient, how long the symptoms have been going on, and your response to your prescription.

This is the burning question, both for advocates of homeopathy and critics of homeopathy alike. It is true that there is no known “mechanism of action” for homeopathic remedies. But if you cannot explain something, it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist! We simply do not yet have the technology to answer this question; at the same time, we do have over 200 years of clinical experience with this method, and we know that it works! Research in homoeopathy is a relatively new field, and researchers around the world have begun to investigate the action of homeopathic medicine. Some exciting results have already been published; IIT scientists proved that homeopathic medicines work on the principle of nanotechnology. For over 200 years, homeopathy has consistently shown positive results in practice. Numerous studies have been conducted and continue to be carried out, many of which can be found on the Homeopathy Research Institute website. Historical data also supports homeopathy’s effectiveness. For instance, during the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic in Ohio (USA), the mortality rate was 30% among 24,000 patients treated allopathically, while it was only 1.05% among 26,000 patients treated homoeopathically.

Yes, it can be taken. In today’s world, so many people are suffering from disease conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, hormonal and autoimmune diseases and mainly rely on allopathic medication as their first line of treatment. Therefore, discontinuing allopathic medicines altogether may have an adverse effect. Experience has shown that homoeopathic medicines show positive effect even when patients are taking allopathic medicines. So the best way would be to continue them along with Homeopathic medicines and then gradually reduce the allopathic dosage under the guidance of an expert.

No! Definitely not. Homeopathy works as fast as any other mode of treatment. Homeopathy works wonders in acute cases (For e.g. Fever, diarrhea, etc) and that too very quickly. Therefore, it acts slowly is a myth and misconception. In some chronic cases, the time taken for cure is proportionate to the chronicity of the disease. CAN PREGNANY WOMEN, BREAST FEEDING MOTHERS AND NEW BORN BABIES TAKE HOMOEOPATHY? Homeopathy has no side effects. Hence, it can safely be given to the newborn and pregnant women. It will eventually help them strengthen their immunity enabling them to cope with conditions better.

It does not! This is again a misconception. Steroids have a different mode of action, unlike homeopathy. Homeopathy acts via the PNEI (psycho-neuro-endocrine-immunological axis), thereby increasing one’s immunity and helping the body fight back the diseases. Homoeopathic medicines activate body’s immune/defence mechanism where are steroids are immunosuppressant hence the role and action of steroids is very different. If a patient is being given steroids (cortisone) for a long time (more than 30 days), then there would be side effects like swelling of the face or puffiness of the face, osteoporosis, development of diabetes, but none of such symptoms are seen in any patient as such indicating homoeopathy is free of steroids. After a long-term homeopathic treatment, one can expect progressive improvement in their disease condition, decrease in the frequency of their acute ailments, better energy levels, improvement in their sleep, appetite and overall general well-being and health.
