PRINCIPLES OF HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE
The first major feature of Homeopathic medicine is the Indivualization for Treatment Determination.This means that different people may have different pathogenic reasons,symptoms and syndromes even though the disease name is the same, so treatment strategies and formulas are different.For example, the "headache" can be caused by external factors, such as wind, cold, damp, dryness and/or internal factors, such as metabolic deficiencies, blood stasis, liver disorders, emotional /mental /psychosomatic imbalances,etc. So different treatment strategies will be used according to the different causative factors.Homeopathic medicine considers essentially relevant to patient personal/social/environmental data, such as age, gender, work, living environment, emotional feelings, mood, stress, climate, habits, favored foods, etc.
The other major principle is Totality .This means that in all Diseases the whole organism suffers,even if organ pathology is conventionally recognized in a certain organ or part of the body.So,treatment should be applied for both the diseased organ or part of the body and for the totality of all current sufferings all over the body.The total sum of the present symptoms,functional dsturbances and pathologic lesions of the organism expresses the current model of the health defence mechanisms of the body,which is the most critical factor for the outcome of the pathology of the certain organ or part of the body.
So,modern Homeopathy should care equally for both the Patient and the Disease. Clinical Homeopathy is synonymous with Classical Homeopathy, for Hahnemann and his followers were clinicians, they treated the sickest patients, and they addressed pathological signs and symptoms.
In all forms of Holistic and Natural Medicine ,and especially with Homeopathy, health disorders and diseases are seen as a way for the body and the mind to show an inner disturbance and, mainly, as the way to restore functional economy and integrity ,to restore health through self-cure procedures.The wisdom of the body will ensure that symptoms affect the least critical area, and that emotions can be re-balanced through the body’s physical processes. For this reason, the deeper or more important the affected organs, the more serious the issue.
When Homeopathy is applied in a case with a certain disease or health condition, the body does not heal in a haphazard, accidental way, but according to a deep biological intelligence. A true healing process will mirror the body’s own healing strategies. It is important to understand and help the way our mind and body heal themselves.
Homeopathy is a system of medicine founded on the definite law ‘like cures like’,first founded by Hippocrates. The word Homeopathy is certainly of Greek derivation where ‘homeos’ means ‘similar’ and pathos means ‘suffering’. So Homeopathy may be defined as the therapeutic method of symptom-similarity.According to this system, the choice of the medicine is fundamentally based on the principle that the medicine must be specifically suitable (‘similar”)to the symptoms and the pathology of the disease to be cured in each one individual case.
The specifically suitable Homeopathic remedies for any individual case are found after thorough case study and analysis ,so that the cause,the pathogenesis,the kind,the location,the extention,etc of health disorders are revealed , recorded and correlated with the detailed description of the therapeutic action of Homoeopathic Remedies in the HOMOEOPATHIC PHARMACOLOGY.Each one remedy is described in Homoeopathic Pharmacologies in detail concerning its elective action on organs, tissues,organic systems,functions,etc of the Human Body.
The suitability of a medicine for any given case does not depend on its accurate homeopathic selection alone, but likewise on the proper size of dose too. Under this principle we give medicine to the patients in very minute or infinitesimal doses. The quantity is minimum, yet appropriate and sufficient, for an efficient and gentle remedial effect,which is of biophysical informational nature. This concept of minimum or infinitesmall dose is completed by a practical process called potentisation,through which the therapeutic information is imprinted on water molecules. These morphologically altered water molecules are the active component of the sugar pills of homeopathic treatment,which are placed under the tongue.
Homeopathy is a system of medical therapy that uses information of biophysical nature and/or very small (infinitesimal) doses of medicines or remedies that are hardly traced even by most modern technology. These remedies are usually prepared from substances found in nature. Because the remedies are highly diluted, usually to the point that no traceable molecules exist ,they are extremely safe. The clinical experience of homeopathy shows that the micro-dosing /biophysical information approach to diseases is effective.
Homeopathic Remedies are carriers of pharmacological information biophysically imprinted on water molecules contained in your homeopathic "sugar pills or tablets".This information is reminiscent of the digital information of computers' technology,with which modern societies are too familiar.
There are literally hundreds of high quality, published basic science, pre-clinical and clinical studies showing that homeopathy works. If someone searches in PubMed, a renowned Medical Literature Record, with the key word “homeopathy”, about 5.000 of publications in medical journals appear; therefore no one may claim that there is not accessible and reliable medical information or that there is no place for Homeopathy in the space of Scientific Evidence.
Homeopathy has long been established as mainstream medicine in the NHS (National Health System) of many countries. In the UK it is estimated that Homeopathy is growing 20% each year; it has been enrolled in the National Health System through an Act of Parliament from 1950 to the present. In late 2011, the Swiss government's report on homeopathic medicine represents the most comprehensive evaluation of homeopathic medicine ever written by a government and was just published in book form in English. This breakthrough report affirmed that homeopathic treatment is both effective and cost-effective and that homeopathic treatment should be reimbursed by Switzerland's national health insurance program.
