Homeopathy is a system of medicine that recognizes our uniqueness.
We are all individuals with particular strengths and weaknesses, so it isn’t surprising that when we become ill we each react in our own way. Even if we catch the “same” cold as our neighbour, our response to it may be quite different from theirs.
Using the principle that like can be cured with like, homeopathy has taken a wide range of natural substances and carefully recorded the symptoms these substances cause in healthy people. Matching these substances as closely as possible, to the individual and the particular symptoms that they are experiencing encourages their own healing energy to return them to health.
The results are often remarkable, bringing about relief that is rapid, gentle and permanent. For example a person suffering from hayfever, might be given a remedy prepared from an onion, because a healthy person chopping an onion usually experiences watering eyes and irritation.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Although there is a great deal of empirical evidence that homoeopathy does work, nobody yet knows how. Those who are sceptical point out that homeopathic remedies are often so dilute that not even a molecule of the original substance remains and so conclude that any beneficial response is probably due to the placebo effect. This explanation seems unlikely as experiments have shown homeopathic medicines to be equally effective in the treatment of animals and babies.
The answer to this mystery is likely to be found by those studying so-called “new Physics” and electro-magnetism. The production of homoeopathic medicines involves two processes; namely dilution and succussion. It is thought likely that these combined processes leave an imprint of the original substance’s energy pattern in the dilutant. This energy imprint, given in homoeopathic medicine, somehow stimulates the body’s own healing energy to start working.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOMEOPATHY AND CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE?
Homoeopathy is a holistic medicine. This means that it focuses on the whole person and believes that spiritual, mental, emotional and physical factors are all completely inter-connected and should not be regarded in isolation. It is based on the idea that symptoms are not the cause of disease.
Symptoms are the body’s way of warning us that all is not well and attempting to restore balance. Instead of merely removing the symptoms, it removes the central disturbance in the individual’s energetic balance. Once this has been done the symptoms disappear anyway, because the warnings they were trying to give have become unnecessary.
A simple analogy is to imagine that you are driving your car and the red oil warning-light comes on. You know nothing about cars so you decide to take it to the garage. When you come to pick up the car, the light is no longer on, so, having paid the bill, you drive off quite happily. You naturally assume the problem is fixed, but would you feel so satisfied if you later discovered that the garage had merely unscrewed the warning-light bulb?
