Homeopathic remedies
Homeopathic remedies undergo a special method of preparation that brings out the inherent energy of the substance that they are prepared from. While some homeopathic remedies are made from plant sources such as herbs, they differ from herbal medicines in their preparation, which involves a series of dilutions that results in micro-doses. Remedies can be made from almost any substance that we find on the planet, ranging from metals and minerals, to plants and herbs, to animal and man-made substances.
Perhaps the best known homeopathic remedy is Arnica, which is used for physical trauma. However there are thousands more and the number is continually growing as new homeopathic remedies are made. However, it is not just the remedy that is homeopathic, but the manner in which it is matched to the client. In classical homeopathy remedies are prescribed on all the symptoms that are present in the client, not just according to the name of the disease. In fact, ten people with a named illness, such as depression or asthma, may be treated with ten different remedies depending on their individual expression of the condition. When properly used, remedies are gentle enough to be taken by pregnant women and babies, and can be used alongside conventional drugs. Generally, your homeopath will prescribe a single remedy for your condition. You will not leave your consultation with a long list of expensive supplements to buy. Remedies are prepared by homeopathic pharmacies and regulated by the FDA. The use of resources is kept to the minimum, and they are not tested on animals. Remedies should be stored away from heat, bright light and strong odors. Do not carry them next to your cellphone or computer. Properly stored remedies will last for years. |
