All About the Natural Healing Power of Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a system of medicine where highly-diluted substances are administered in tablet form. These substances trigger the body's ability to heal naturally. A homeopath provides medicine based on the patient's symptoms.
This natural healing system works on the concept of "like cures like". Put simply, it means that substances that trigger symptoms in a healthy individual are able to cure the same symptoms when the individual becomes ill. For instance, insomniacs are often prescribed with a homeopathic remedy called coffea, which is made from coffee.
The following homeopathic preparations are used to promote natural healing from different illnesses and conditions.
- Aconite: Made from aconitum napellus, aconite is primarily used to treat fever, influenza and shock.
- Allium Cepa: This is the homeopathic name for onion. It is often used as a homeopathic remedy for different allergies and their symptoms, such as hay fever, itching eyes and hives.
- Graphites: This is primarily used for treating skin conditions like itchy skin, cracked skin, psoriasis and eczema.
- Digitalis: A homeopathic remedy made from foxglove, it cures angina or chest pain and a wide range of heart problems.
- Hamamelis: This is also known as witch hazel. When hamamelis is prescribed in the right potency, it can effectively heal hemorrhoids and varicose veins.
- Camellia Sinensis: Commonly known as tea leaves, this is used to treat a wide range of neurological disorders including nightmares and insomnia. It is also used to treat anxiety and panic disorders. Homeopaths also prescribe camellia sinensis to treat digestive problems.
- Petroleum or Crude Oil: This is used to treat skin infections, especially psoriasis and eczema.
- Oscillococcinum: This is muscovy duck liver and is primarily prescribed for treating the symptoms of flu or common cold.
When you visit a homeopath, he or she will usually ask you several detailed questions about your existing health condition and lifestyle as well as your personal and family medical history. This information will help the homeopath understand the symptoms as well as their effects on your life. S/he will then provide you with the appropriate medicine.
