Homeopathy Treats Diseases Naturally by Balancing Your Life.Homeopathy treats diseases naturally by balancing your life. It’s an alternative system of medicine that focuses on natural substances, prepared in a special way and used most often in extremely small doses.
It is based on the principle that “like cures like.” That is, a substance that causes certain symptoms in a healthy person can help to cure those same symptoms in a sick person.
The Vital Force
In homeopathy, the vital force is described as a dynamic, immaterial, spirit-like force that embodies the essence of life. It is a very important organizing force that directs your evolution towards reaching your full potential.
Kent believed that the Vital Force is a fundamental underlying force that determines the health of the body. It ‘rules with unbounded sway’ over all material organs and structures, directing them to specific metabolic pathways that make the most of useful food particles and spares the digestive process by symbiotic bacteria.
He also believes that disease is a disturbance in this vital force, which produces symptoms in the body and mind. It can only be cured by correcting this disturbance.
The Symptoms
Homeopathy is based on the theory that “like cures like.” A substance that causes symptoms in healthy people can stimulate the body to heal itself when given in small doses.
This is because our bodies have their own defenses that are designed to fight disease. It’s called the immune system, and homeopathy helps to re-activate it.
A homeopathic remedy is chosen based on a complete assessment of the patient’s life force. This includes physical, emotional and spiritual symptoms.
The strength of the remedy is also determined by this assessment. The homeopathic doctor or veterinarian carefully evaluates the changes that occur after dosing and alters the strength and sometime the substance to act on a new set of symptoms.
The homeopathic approach is different from traditional medicine, which typically focuses on symptom relief. It may help you feel better by strengthening your natural defenses, but it’s important to see a professional homeopath when you have a serious health condition.
The Remedy
Homeopathy is based on a number of ideas formulated in the 1790s by a German doctor, Samuel Hahnemann. Among them is the guiding principle, “like cures like”; that a substance that causes symptoms can also help to cure them.
A homeopath prescribes a remedy based on the individual patient’s mental, emotional, and physical health. For example, if you are feeling depressed or anxious due to a recent loss or traumatic event, a homeopath will use a remedy that will release these feelings and help to bring your life back into balance.
The ingredients in a remedy are usually diluted with water or alcohol and then shaken in a process called succussion. During this process, homeopaths believe that the medicine transfers healing force from its original source. The more diluted a remedy is, the stronger it becomes. This is called “potentization.” It can be difficult to tell if a homeopathic treatment has been potentized, but most are.
The Relationship
Homeopathy treats diseases naturally by balancing your life. This is achieved by using small, natural substances that stimulate the body’s innate healing capabilities.
The basic belief behind homeopathy is that “like cures like.” In other words, if a substance triggers symptoms in a healthy person, it can treat a disease with the same symptoms.
However, the scientific method requires replication and confirmation of results. Homeopathy deviated from this essential principle of science at the very beginning.
For instance, Hahnemann ingested bark of Cinchona (which contains quinine), and experienced malaria-like symptoms; this observation was not replicated nor confirmed by others. This lack of independent confirmation is a clear indication that homeopathy violated the scientific method.
