Homeopathy is an alternative medicine that claims treatment of diseases using highly diluted substances. In the late 18^th century, it was introduced by Samuel Hahnemann. The technique is grounded on the “law of similars” that contends “like cures like,” observed by Hippocrates and Paracelsus in the past, too.  Nonetheless, it is Hahnemann who officially developed underlying principles therein.

Law of similars is not foreign to Hahnemann after having discovered the physiological effects of some substances. For instance, he found out that ingesting the bark of cinchona yield the same symptoms of malaria. That explains why he concluded that the substance can also heal malaria by virtue of the concept, “like cures like.” Later on, he tried out many other substances to identify corresponding signs and symptoms for possible curative effects on resembling illnesses and diseases.

Treatment inspired by Homeopathy makes use of highly diluted substances called remedies. These are meticulously prepared drugs that have successfully undergone serial dilution using distilled water or alcohol. Dilution is followed by succession that involves forceful striking of the substance against an elastic body to intensify vital energy. The remedy, in turn, is likely to hold the healing energy although no molecule of the original substance is left as soon as the entire process, technically coined as potentization, is over.

Homeopathic treatment is intended to deliver cure by stimulating the body’s natural healing process. Homeopaths believe that illnesses and diseases are caused by disruption of the life force. These practitioners, in particular, uphold the law of susceptibility contending that the body may develop certain signs and symptoms of a disease triggered by negative mental state. Restoring the balance of life force, in turn, is the best way to restore your health and fitness, too.

Prior to treatment, diagnosis is done by homeopaths by assessing physical and psychological conditions. As soon as initial assessment is through, the practitioner consults reference books also known as repertories. Remedy is prescribed once diagnosis has been made. For best results, it is highly recommended to seek treatment from homeopaths holding professional degree since the practice is highly regulated in Western countries.

Remedies come in two different forms such as oral and injectible drugs. Most likely, homeopathic pills are preferred over homeopathic shots since the latter is prone to contaminants. Either way, Hahnemann recommends intake of highly diluted homeopathic remedies for safety purposes. When prepared at lower dilution, these remedies may be highly toxic for one’s health. Rest assured that healing effects shall be retained regardless of high dilution. That is made possible by the concept of water memory that emphasizes the liquid’s ability to retain essential attributes of substance exposed therein.

In the early 19^th century, there were more or less 100 remedies introduced. As of the moment though, there are approximately 3,000 homeopathic remedies available over the counter. Sure, you’ll find the best cure for your particular health condition.
