Myths And Facts About Homeopathy

This is a myth .The fact is, relief from Homeopathic medicine can be seen within few minutes to some hours. In acute conditions Homeopathy not only gives instantaneous results but also cuts short the period of illness with a shorter convalescent period, the long lasting weakness or relapses seen after the conventional treatment of acute diseases can be done away with Homeopathy.Most of the acute conditions like diarrhea, fever, headache, colic, backache recover instantly with well - selected Homeopathic drugs. It can be said that the response with the Homeopathic drugs usually depends upon the duration and intensity of the problem and is not at all slow.

for example, at Panacea Homeopathic Clinic, in almost every case, try to start the medication during case taking itself and try to start relief in their acute complaints then and there only. Relief has been afforded as early as within two minutes even in severe headaches, long continued joint pains and also the cases with respiratory distress. Recently a lady suffering from Scleroderma with Raynaud's phenomenon, who had been taking painkillers for several months and yet been sleepless due to pain for many nights together could sleep on the first day itself with the rightly selected Homeopathic medicine.

This is again a myth. Whenever a right Homeopathic remedy is chosen, it is supposed to relieve the complaints & not to increase. It does happen that some of the symptoms, previously suppressed with non Homeopathic medicines, may come on surface only to be cured properly by the same medicine. Homeopathic aggravation is a term applied for a short rise in intensity of the physical symptom with feeling of general well-being as the vital energy is concentrating on the affected organ while bringing the system at ease.

All Homeopathic medicines are not same though they look alike. As the vehicle used to dispense them is common i.e. white sweet pills, one may get the impression that all Homeopathic medicines are the same. Since the Homeopathic medicines are prepared or diluted in alcohol first and taking it in that form is not only difficult but impractical as well. The founder of Homeopathy devised this most benign and simple method only for the convenience of dispensing the minute doses of Homeopathic medicines with ease and precision. It is these sweet pills that make Homeopathic medicines so popular with children and even infants can be seen willingly taking the medicines and even demanding more once aquainted with the taste of these medicines.

In olden days, some restrictions in diet like coffee, onion, garlic, asafetida, tobacco, betel etc. used to be advised. Some also used to advise against use of perfumes & strong smelling items in diet or otherwise. Since Homeopathy is an evolving science and during the last two hundred years or so since it's discovery the ever widening, collective and cumulative clinical experience showed that even those patients who did not follow these dietary restrictions improved with proper Homeopathic treatment equally well as those who did. Hence these rather unpopular dietary restrictions that made Homeopathic treatment rather notoriously difficult gradually became obsolete and find little acceptance with the modern homoeopaths. In certain cases, however, very few dietary restrictions may be advised which is extremely rare. Dietary restrictions at times are suggested totally on the basis of the disease patient is suffering from & the stage of the disease. Besides, to chew Tobacco or betel, excessive use of alcohol and other narcotics or harmful substances are established health hazards & prohibited not only by homoeopaths but by all systems of medicines.

The amount of sugar in these pills is almost negligible and, the doses needed are also so small in Homeopathy. Moreover, they have never caused any harm in any case of Diabetes mellitus till date. Sugar free pills are also available. If necessary, medicines can be given in distilled water also.
