FAQ-FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS& COMMON QUERIES REGARDING HOMEOPATHY
|
IS HOMEOPATHY SLOW ACTING?
|
The general impression that homeopathy is slow acting is false as the effect of
the medicine depends upon the disease. Most of the people approaching a homeopath
have a long history of chronicproblems and thus it takes some time to be relieved
or cured.
In acute disease condition the results are generally quick and sometimes even instantaneous
with correct treatment.We treat acute condition like cough, cold, renal pain, loose
motions, vomiting, abdominal colic etc. with fast and accurate results.
|
ALL HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES ARE IN WHITE PILLS, ARETHE MEDICINES ONE AND THE SAME?
|
Actually white pills are only a medium or vehicle to take homeopathic medicines.
These medicines are usually prepared with Lactose(milk sugar) which gives them white
colour and sweet taste.In fact, there are more than 3500 recognized homeopathic
medicines. These medicines are usually in liquid form. Few drops of these medicines
are put on the pills and are taken as a treatment of a disease. Thus white pills
are only a medium for a medicine to act.
|
HOMEOPATHIC PILLS ARE SO SMALL, HOW CAN IT BE EFFECTIVE?
|
In Homeopathy, medicines are generally given in potentized form. Potentization is
a mechanical process which brings out the inner medicinal powers of the crude substances.
At the end of this process the medicinal substance is reduced which helps to avoid
side effects & the latent curative energy of the drug substance is aroused.Thus
the size of the pills has nothing to do with the effect of the medicines.

No. The pills of Homoeopathic medicines are made from sugar but they work only as

10 variable potencies (powers of medicines) of each medicine.
|
Do Homoeopathic medicines have steroids?
|
No. It is a misconception that has been developing in the recent times. Due in many
cases after seeing the improvement in a very short time people think that homoeopaths
give steroids. All Homoeopathic medicines are prepared by using scientific predefined
methods of extracting the medicinal properties from source substances. There is
no scope or need to adulterate the derived medicines with any other substances,
as this would completely obliterate the curative properties of the same. The prescription
of homoeopathic medicines is based on the similarity of the symptoms of the patient
with those produced by the drug (in its purest form) when proved (clinical trials)
in healthy individuals. So any addition to the original medicine would completely
alter its medicinal properties and hence alter it non-curative. Also if steroid
is added the medicines will taste bitter.
If the patient has any doubts he should check the medicines from a standard laboratory
before consuming any quantity.

|
The Homoeopath needs to know every minutest detail about you which characterizes
you, something which is unusual about you, so that he can find the right remedy
for you. Homoeopath needs to understand you, your nature, your complaints and your
disturbed mental and emotional state in order to reach to the core of your case.

your childhood details, any thing and every thing about you will help the physician
