- Generally there are no side effects of homeopathic medicines
if prescribed in potencies of 3CH and above.
- However, some tinctures
and triturates in very low potencies like Ix, 2x have some side effects
of minor nature.
- Sometimes, homeopathic medicines in higher dilutions may also elicit drug-proving in sensitive individuals.
- But just like any other medicine, homeopathic medicines should be used with caution and in chronic ailments, they should not be taken without consultation with a qualified homeopath.
- It can be used!
- The minute amount of sugar
globules (the little round pills) taken daily does not matter.
- Sugar
intake in the daily diet is significantly higher than that taken by a
few globules.
- In very severe cases, the dilution may be taken as drops
in water or over lactose.
- Very often it is – where everything else has
failed!
- But the true reason for this perception is because people turn
to homeopathy so late when everything else has failed!
- After years of
allopathic treatment often an illness becomes chronic, the treatment
will now naturally take longer than in case of using homeopathy right
from the beginning, the recovery period is very less.
- Homeopathy Medicines are equally effective in chronic and acute ailments.
- Homoeopathy is based on experimental pharmacological and clinical data.
- Over the years, homeopathic medicines
have been extensively studied for their efficacy in a variety of
indications.
- Clinical studies have been conducted in India as well as
other countries.
- The physical basis of the homeopathic medicines is still not clear but there is enough clinical data to prove its efficacy.
- All the principles of homeopathy are based on sound logic and experimental data.
- Homeopathy acts quickly in acute illnesses but it takes a
little longer to effect a cure in chronic ailments such as asthma,
bronchitis, arthritis, kidney failure, osteoporosis, high cholesterol,
diabetes, blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, etc.
- The medicines
start working immediately but the time taken to heal depends on the
individual’s immune system, stress factors, lifestyle, habits and
personality.
- Any medicine on this earth has its different action on
its status or mode of transferred to the body. Like an analgesic , given orally will be slow to
when given intravenous.
- Like the same is Homeopathy medicine. It always depends
on the patient , how well he shows his symptoms and also to the Homeopath, how well he understand the
problem.
- There comes the real selection of dose ( status of medicinal power in
that dose).
- Nothing more depend the Homeopathy medicine over all.
- All types of
the disease which are under the cover of medicinal treatment, can be treated by
Homeopathy.
- Unfortunately, people tend to go to a homeopath only when the acute
problem becomes chronic. Naturally, these cases take longer to treat.
- Also,
most people take recourse in homeopathy in cases of arthritis, allergic asthma
or skin conditions etc., which take a longer time to treat with any other
system of medicines.
Homeopathic medicines are always same alike made up of sugar pills, no matter what ever the illness.
- The
white sugar pills, are only the carrier of the Homeopathy medicine through your
tongue into the
body.
- It is true that sugar pills do not have any medicinal value, so they can
be used as carrier very
well.
- But most of the Homeopathic medicine are based of alcohol.
- While preparing a dose the
alcoholic doses are dropped on sugar pills to convert the pills medicated for
that drug, later on
which can be prescribed to the patient.
- Homoeopathic medicines have been
scientifically studied the
world over and found to be effective in a wide range of diseases. Thus they are
not placebos.
- Homeopathic medicines are NOT made using only dilution.
- Dilution alone
would do nothing whatsoever.
- Many homeopaths are getting tired of
reading this highly inaccurate reporting in the media.
- All homeopathic
medicines are made by a process of dilution and SUCCUSSION
(potentisation through vigorous shaking - 100 shakes between each
potency - i.e. between a 1c and a 2c, between a 2c and a 3c potency,
between a 3c and a 4c, etc. etc.)
- Most homeopathic medicines can be
bought in either 6c or 30c from Boots or from health shops.
- Higher
potencies of 200c and 1m (1000c) can be obtained only from homeopathic
pharmacies.
- Succussion is nowadays done by machines, originally by hand.
- Succussion brings out the formative intelligence of the substance and
imprints it upon the 60% distilled water + 40% alcohol medium used to
make homeopathic medicines - alcohol acting as a preservative.
