Despite being a slow treatment, homeopathy is very effective in treating numerous health-related issues.
Unfairly Notorious
The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most profitable businesses in the world. Western allopathic medicine and homeopathy have always been strong opponents for many reasons. This is chiefly because of the influence of allopathic industry, and partly because of the lack of profitable business model in homeopathic treatment that the allopathic medicine has. Medicine and health is one of the most expensive sectors and involves a lot of Commercial value and profitability of allopathic medicine are more, and like any competitive industry, western medicine makes sure to advertise against all its competitors.
As a result, most people think of homeopathic medicine as nothing but tiny sweet sugar balls. However, there is an entire science behind it.
Why should you go for homeopathic medicine?
Homeopathic medicine is a natural way to help your body fight disease. It’s important to know how your homeopathic medicine works differently from western medicine.
Nature has given our body a wonderful defense system, our Immune System, that protects us from thousands of diseases surrounding us every day. We are amazingly capable of producing our medicine inside our body to cure us of anything.
Western medicines mostly focus on removing the symptoms of the problem or killing it. For example, when we have a bacterial infection, we ingest a bacterial poison, called antibiotic, that kills it inside our bodies. Sounds good, problem solved. However, taking such a thing will have several side effects on our body as we have to ingest something foreign. That is like admitting that our body isn’t capable of protecting itself, so let’s take something supplementary that would do it. Another way allopathic medicine works is by removing the symptom. For instance, if you have a headache, you take a medicine that numbs your body to feel a headache for some time. However, that headache was due to a cause. Something was wrong in your body that was giving you a headache. All you did was to stop feeling the headache, but you didn’t remove the cause. Nevertheless, the importance of allopathic treatment cannot be neglected in acute conditions as it becomes essential due to its fast action.
Homeopathic medicine works in a different way, by making use of your body’s own defense system. It works on a principle of increasing your body’s immunity, resilience, and vitality. In simple words, homeopathic medicine does not treat the disease itself, but it boosts your body’s immunity to fight the disease itself and throw it out of your body. In this way, our body’s defense system becomes strong and naturally gets rid of the disease. Obviously, since it’s a natural way, there are no or minimum side effects.
Interestingly the potentized homeopathic medicine that we take will have almost no mass of the original raw material used to make that medicine. The original matter is so diluted, broken down and refined in the process of potentization that any potency will only have the dynamic power extracted from that raw material, which has proven effects on our body. The more we potentize, the more matter is removed, and the power of medicine is increased. In simple words, the highest-powered medicine made from a raw material will not have a single trace of that raw material no matter how many lab tests we pass it through, because it has been diluted thousands of times. The more dilution takes place, higher the power of medicine becomes. And there is no question of toxicity. This may sound interesting and strange, but that’s the proven, secret science behind it.
The science of homeopathy is a proven one, with substantial evidence to consider it a working and effective remedy, and its recognized all over the world. It can help all of us a great deal if we have some knowledge about the common everyday medicines.
