Homeopathy: This truly tongue-twisting term, derived from the Greek, represents a self-contained system of therapy that gently supports the body’s natural and regenerative healing efforts by raising the body’s “life force” to such an extent that the body overcomes the disease process and returns to its normal healthy state without causing any adverse side effects.
The name Homeopathy comes from the Greek word “homoeos” meaning “like” and the word “pathos” meaning “suffering”. It simply means treating as equals.
In the 4th century BC, Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, observed that large amounts of certain natural substances can produce symptoms in healthy people similar to those caused by disease, while smaller doses of these same substances can relieve symptoms. those symptoms.
In the 1790s, Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician and father of Homeopathy, expanded on this concept and proposed the law of “Similia similibus curentur” or, in plain English, “Like cures like.”
The law simply states that a remedy can cure a disease if it produces symptoms similar to those of the disease in a healthy person.
Homeopathic remedies are diluted to such an extent that there can be no possible side effects from even the most toxic substances. The dilution process is known as ‘potentiation’. Taken in this ultra-diluted form, these remedies have no side effects and are perfectly safe, non-toxic and non-addictive.
