HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE
|
Although some homeopathic remedies are made with animal products, which
Vaisnavas will want to steer clear of, many are made from plants, minerals,
and chemical substances. Homeopathy considers the whole person and not
just the particular disease. Important information about the patient's
living situation, temperament, genetics, past and present diseases, and
behavior is gathered by a homeopath before treatment is begun, as each of
these can affect health. Expect to spend an hour or two with your
homeopath for the first visit. Homeopathy began in the 1800's by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician. Homoios means similar, and pathy means suffering; homeopathy follows the principle that "like cures like." A patient suffering from some condition would be given a substance, that in an otherwise healthy person would cause those same symptoms. This stimulates the body's natural defense system to combat the disease. Often different patients are given different remedies for the same illness, because not everyone responds the same way to a particular treatment. Homeopathic remedies are generally considered very safe, as they are diluted in extremely small doses. Despite the miniscule doses, proponents of this modality state that the body responds very well to these medicines. |
