Homeopathy is probably the most important branch of alternate medicine. There is a misconception rife in people's minds that homeopathic treatment is meant for children - who necessarily need mild medication - and for those suffering from chronic conditions. Yes, children and people diagnosed with ‘incurable' ailments benefit the most from homeopathic remedies. Not for the reason trotted out normally, but due to the fact that homeopathy treats the root of the illness rather than suppressing the disease and/ or its symptoms.

The law of similia is at the root of all homeopathic treatment. Homeopathic edicines replicate the symptoms to give relief. So if someone needs to be treated for scarlet fever, that person is given a medicine which would induce the disease in one who is healthy. Yet ask anyone who has benefitted from homeopathic remedies, s/he will tell you about how effective they are in ailments where other more traditional remedies like allopathy have not given any relief, or worse, created complications!

Homeopathic treatment recognizes that each person has a predisposition or inherent ...
... tendency to develop certain ailments. This explains why different people react differently to different allergens or infections. So you might find that most members of the family may have gone down with a particular viral fever but some members stay well. Homeopathic remedies are based on these principles and therefore cure the patient with minimal side-effects.The prophylactic use of homeopathic medicines is rare and should be avoided as a matter of principle. The chief danger being that any medication that you don't need, in the sense of not having already displayed its symptoms, will induce those symptoms.

There are several precautions and restrictions to be observed when taking homeopathic medicines. Never overdose since that can even prove lethal.This refers to both frequency and potency. If the lower dose serves the purpose, avoid the higher potency. If a single dose cures, don't administer the second. Make sure that the antidote is also close at hand, in case the patient reacts adversely. Though homeopathic treatment implies that the constitution and temperament of the patient have been taken into account, it is difficult to predict the individual's reaction to certain medicines.Certain dietary restrictions need to be observed depending on the ailment and the medicine administered. Do this and there you are on the high road to fine health.
