| FAQs About Homeopathy |
Homeopathic remedies are much safer than conventional medications when specially prepared in a process called potentization. A natural plant, animal, or mineral substance is first diluted in water, then "sucussed", or shaken, and diluted again. This process is repeated until the desired potency is reached. In this way, the possible deleterious side effects of the natural substances are minimized and the inherent healing qualities of the remedies are enhanced. It has been proven through more than 200 years of empirical evidence that the more potentized a homeopathic solution, the deeper and more effective are its effects upon the human body. A single dose of a remedy can act for many months upon a person's symptoms. Traditional, or classical, homeopathy also administers only one remedy at a time to a patient. This eliminates the unpredictable effects of two or more remedies acting at the same time and allows the homeopath to match the patient's individual symptom picture with the best possible remedy for that patient. Homeopathic remedies are tested, or "proved", only on healthy people in order to know their effects upon the body, mind, and spirit of a person. In this way, homeopaths can recognize these symptoms in a sick patient and give the appropriate medicine through the Law of Similars. They are never tested on sick people, who may experience fluctuating symptoms with no way to differentiate the effects of the remedy, nor are they tested on animals. |
