Homeopathy: what are talking about
It was born with the German doctor Samuel Hahnemann in the early nineteenth century and the law of similitude is the principle on which this discipline is based: every disease can be cured by using a substance in small doses that, administered to a healthy individual, is able to cause symptoms identical to those that need to be treated.
Similia similibus curantur: like cures like
Its a natural medicine that involves the use of substances from the three natural kingdoms:
- animal
- vegetable
- mineral
Its considered a sweet medicine and, its founder himself, demonstrated the possibility of being able to dissolve a single drop of mother tincture of a plant extract in a diluting substance and obtain a dose of drug so small as to be absolutely non-invasive for the body but effective.
Homeopathic remedies are generally taken by mouth and are:
- drops
- blood cells
- tablets
Whatever the formula administered, there are rules to be respected:
- the globules must be diluted in very little water
- the products in drops must be taken respecting the quantity indicated by the specialist
- the tablets should be taken away from meals and away from the intake of aromatic substances such as mint, licorice or spicy foods that can interfere with the absorption of the homeopathic remedy.
From the Greek omoios (similar) and phatos (disease), homeopathy is a method based on the administration of very low doses of substances capable of causing in healthy man manifestations similar to the symptoms manifested by the patient.
