What Is Homeopathy?

Etymologically the word "Homeopathy" comes from the Greek. Homoios = similar and patheia = disease.
The word “homeopathy” refers to the concept that a disease can be cured with a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people "like cures like".
It was developed in the late 18th century in Germany and is currently used as an effective alternative medical practice based on the belief that the body can heal itself with the help of the correct natural stimuli.
Homeopathy constitutes a non-invasive comprehensive and individualized healing system applicable to all stages of life since it considers the integral state of health of each person and addresses each particular condition with over the counter homeopathic remedies adapted to each individual circumstance.
Homeopathy is an alternative healing art and its treatment does not replace any conventional immunization program nor does it replace any proven conventional care.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Homeopathy?

What is the difference between conventional medicine and homeopathy?

Conventional medicine considers “pathology” or disease as the result of a modification in the anatomy and functioning of an organ or system. Homeopathy does not consider the disease as a defined pathology, but rather treats the person suffering from a disease as a whole (mind, emotion and body) taking into account individual characteristics.

What conditions or disorders does homeopathy treat?

What kinds of remedies does homeopathy use to treat conditions?

How does homeopathic medicine work?

Homeopathic medicine stimulates the patient’s defensive self-healing capacity, providing restoration or at least a general improvement in health.

Are homeopathy and herbal medicine the same?

No. Herbal medicine uses herbs (in the form of tinctures, teas, or capsules) to treat a condition. Homeopathy uses plants, minerals, animals and chemicals in very small doses. The selected natural substance becomes a homeopathic remedy through a very specific process called “potentiation” that involves dilution and sequential shaking.

What are the benefits of homeopathy?

It is natural and offers an effective treatment without adverse effects.

Is it possible to use conventional treatment and homeopathic treatment at the same time?

Yes. However, some conventional medications such as antibiotics, steroids, birth control pills, antiarrhythmics, antihypertensives, and hormones can inhibit the action of homeopathic medicine.
