Homeopathy is the most popular form of alternative medicine. However, consumers know very little about homopathy. This article will help solve some misunderstandings with homeopathy.
1) Homeopathic medicines are nothing more than a placebo that contain nothing of the original substance since it was diluted so excessively.
Homeopathic medicines do have substance to them. Remedies such as 6X, 6X or 12X contain measurable amounts of the original elements. High potency homeopathic medicines such as 12C or 24X contain no traceable amount of the original element. High potency medicines are believe to have a memory of the original substance.
2) Homeoapthy trials always resulted in failure with properly conducted and tested trials. Studies that have shown positive results were either to tiny to be considered, poorly designed or contained researchers bias.
Homeopathy has had many trials. Some trials show positive results and others do not. People point out on successful homeopathic trials that bigger studies suggest homeopathy does not work. However, researchers observe the entire trial. Many of them concluded that some studies suggest homeopathy yields a more positive result than a placebo.
Several homeopathic trials that showed responses greater than a placebo were rather large. Oscillococcinum studies were properly designed and show a successful result in reducing the flu in patients by 6 hours. These studies were also done by other researchers. Although there studies were not as large as the initial study, the results always showed Oscillococcinum would reduce the time a person has the flu. These studies show that the idea the homeopathic remedies were always unsuccessful in large scale trials are not always true.
3) Life threatening diseases should not be treated with homeopathy.
Well trained homeopathic physicians can help with diseases that jeopardize your life Mds and other specialists should be consulted with this type of treatment plan. Homeopathic doctors are not a substitute for medical doctors if you have a life threatening disease.
Homeopathy has successfully treated life threatening diseases. Trials conducted with both homeopathic remedies and conventional remedies showed that each of these medicines are effective in treating malaria in Africa.
4) Allopathy and homeopathy can not be complimentary.
Allopathic medicines may some terrible side effects. Homeopathy can be used to help treat these adverse conditions. Trials with homeopathic medicine on chemotherapy suggest the side effects of this type of treatment can be reduced with homeopathy.
5) Homeopathy, Herbal, and Ayurvedic medicine are similar.
Homeopathy, Herbal and Ayurvedic are forms of alternative medicine but these forms of medicine are not similar in any other way. Homeopathy use diluted substances to treat patients. Every medicine has been diluted in water or alcohol.
Herbal medicine is based on a plant life. Ayurvedic is a system of medicine that dates back to ancient India. This system of medicine theorizes that all materials of vegetable, animal and mineral origin has some medical purpose.
Ayurvedic use these materials to treat patients. Ayurvedic and homeopathic medicines are used quite a bit in India so that creates some confusion in people thinking they are the same thing.
6) Homeopathy does not work for acute illness
Flu, colds, motion sickness and pain relief can provide fast relief using homeopathic remedies. Chronic conditions such as acne, eczema, irritable bowel syndrome and other conditions will take longer to treat because they are completed.
7) Homeopathy is only for people
Actually, petmeds is one of the fastest growing use of homeopathic products. Homeopathy offers a safe and inexpensive way to treat your pet of acute conditions such as allergies, anxiety and joint stress relief.
8) You can learn homeopathy and treat yourself.
This may be the case in acute conditions such as cold and flu. However, more complicated and chronic cases will require you to see a homeopathic doctor. Chronic cases involve generally taking quite a few remedies in the course of a treatment. A book can not tell you which homeopathic remedies to take and how much to take when your condition starts to improve or worsen.
9) Homeopathic medicines are not found in too many places.
Homeopathic medicines are found all over now. Many healthfood stores such as Whole Foods has there own section of popular homeopathic remedies. Larger retails are also carrying combination homeopathic remedies for conditions such as cold and flu and sleeplessness. Large retailers that currently carry homeopathic products are Walmart, CVS Pharmacy and Target.
Single remedies which homeopaths claim to work the best are not as readily available. These remedies can be found in health food stores, natural pharmacies or on the Internet. They are more specialized and generally most people taking simgle remedies have some homeopathic knowledge or a doctor has prescribed that medicine.
10) Homeopathic remedies have the same effect on each person taking them
Homeopathy works different on different people. Classical homeopathy treats different individuals with different remedies according to their personality type. One person may use one remedy to treat a illness, while another person would use a different remedy to treat the same illness.
Modern medicine assumes all conditions are the same for everyone. General doctors give the same medicine to treat all ailments. - 14130
