Homeopathy basically is considered to be one of the
safest forms of treatments like Ayurveda. Homeopathic medicines are aimed at
improving the body's own healing powers to be able to fight the disease.
Homeopathic medicines are safe without any harmful ingredients. These
medicine do not suppress the pain, rather it strengthens the immune system
and treats the cause of the disease. Homeopathy medicine is relatively safe
for children, adults and even pregnant women. These medicines do not have
any side effects. The Homeopathy medicines are also natural and therefore
more suitable for the human body. These medicines are based on natural
ingredients. Another advantage of Homeopathic medicines is that they are
easy to use. These medicines generally come in the form of tiny sugar pills
and these are convenient to carry and also very easy to take at the
necessary time prescribed by the doctor.
Homeopathic treatment is also cost-effective as compared to other forms.
This treatment does not involve large expenditures. Besides, they can also
complement allopathic medicines in many cases. As for the disadvantages of
Homeopathy goes, it would depend largely upon the physician who is giving
you the treatment. Perhaps one would notice the dearth of professional
Homeopathic doctors. There is also a shortage of institutions that conduct
these professional courses. This would mean there are not many genuine
Homeopathic medicines being prescribed by authentic doctors. Also, one
cannot rely on Homeopathic medicines for emergency situations.
- Homeopathy is reciprocal: Consultations involve collaboration between
the homeopath and client.
- It is complementary: Without interfering with other healing
modalities, Homeopathy helps speed a return to health by supporting the
defense mechanism-of which the immune system is a part-in its efforts to
self-heal.
- It is empowering: The long-term goal of Homeopathy is to return each
individual to a state of health, so that even Homeopathy is no longer
necessary.
- It is accessible: While a sophisticated healing modality in the hands
of a professionally trained homeopath, first-aid and acute care
Homeopathy is easily grasped and applied by consumers in helping their
family, friends and pets stay well.
- It is natural: All Homeopathic remedies originate in natural
substances from each of the kingdoms of nature. The few from the animal
kingdom are, for the most part, made from animal products.
- It is nonviolent: No sentient beings are harmed in the preparation
process. All "testing" (provings) are scientifically carried
out on healthy humans, without detriment and often with benefit to the
people involved. Animal experimentation is neither required nor desired.
- It's not covered by insurance.
- Misinformation and misunderstanding:
Homeopathy is unrelated to any other alternative or conventional
healing modality. While some practitioners who advertise Homeopathy combine
other tools, such as Reiki, muscle testing (kinesiology), hair testing,
radionics, herbs, acupuncture, acupressure, chelation therapy, etc., nothing
else is classical Homeopathy, and nothing else is required
