Homeopaths prepare medicine using small dosages of substances that are toxic to most people. There are several, basic principles that are important in the practice of homeopathy. Keep reading if you want to learn more about what this means and how it can be used to heal your body and mind.

The Main Idea

Samuel Hahnemann invented homeopathy and advanced its ideas during the 18th century. He believed in cures that used smaller doses of a substance that was lethal in larger doses. He underwent tests, known as homeopathic provings, that included consuming the remedy and monitoring the body’s symptoms.

He referred to the causes of diseases as “miasms.” He designed a system to eliminate miasms altogether instead of focus only on the symptoms. He claimed that diseases were part of the whole being and not separate entities.

Preparations

Practitioners refer to their remedies as homeopathics and use reference books to prepare them. First, they review materia medica that lists the different types of remedies. Then, they review the repertory that links the medicine to specific diseases and symptoms.

Homeopaths use these books as the primary sources of information. They also consider the patient’s individual symptoms, personality traits, physical condition and medical history. Homeopathics are made using a variety of substances derived from plants, animals and synthetic materials. They may use table salt, opium, snake venom or specimens from diseased individuals.

Dilution

Homeopathic remedies are prepared using dilutions that contain the chosen ingredient mixed in with water or alcohol. During the process of succussion, the dilution is shaken until traces of the main substance are not visible. The purpose is to activate the energy and efficiency of the dilution.

Some people believe that the treatments are valid, while others see them as being part of pseudoscience. Opponents state that other factors, such as the placebo effect, affect the results of a homeopathic treatment. Nevertheless, homeopathy is a practice that continues to attract new practitioners and people seeking alternative forms of relief from their diseases.

You will find that homeopathy has many forms and methods. It might include more holistic approaches like reiki healing or acupuncture, while other types of homeopathy include using natural herbs, tinctures, tonics, and essential oils.

At the end of the day, it is about healing your body and mind with more natural remedies.
