What is homeopathy?
About homeopathy:
Homeopathy is a system of medicine which is based on treating the individual with highly diluted substances which triggers the body’s natural system of healing.
It works on the principle of “like cures like” - that is, a substance that would cause symptoms in a healthy person is used to cure those same symptoms in illness. For example, one remedy which might be used in a person suffering from insomnia is coffea, a remedy made from coffee.
Scientifically it can not yet be explained precisely how homeopathy works, but new theories in quantum physics are going some way towards shedding light on the process.
Homeopathy has been widely used throughout the world for more than 200 years. In 2000, the House of Lords’ Select Committee on Science & Technology cited homeopathy as one of the five Group One therapies, having “an individual diagnostic approach” along with osteopathy, chiropractic, herbal medicine and acupuncture.
Homeopathy can be safely used alongside conventional medicines and will not interfere with the action of medicines prescribed . Because homeopathic remedies are non-toxic, and they are safe even for pregnant women and babies (but should not be given in high potiencies).
