A scientific approach to medicine, homeopathy is based on the idea of Similia Similibus Curentur. This Latin phrase means let things take care of like things. Early in the 18th century, German physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann developed homeopathy as a new medical system and outlined its fundamental principles. The similia principle is based on the conventional understanding that certain substances have the potential to both causes and treat similar health conditions.

How do Homoeopathy medicines work?

Homeopathy works by promoting the body's natural ability to heal itself. A cure is administered on a unique basis since it activates the body's natural healing processes. A homeopath will record all things that improve or worsen a person's symptoms and physical, mental, and emotional signs.

Does Homoeopathic medicine act slowly?

The idea that homeopathic remedies take time to work is inaccurate. They act quickly, but the impact lasts a long time—often forever. The core causes of the illness are treated.The length of time needed for relief varies according to how chronic the condition is. People frequently turn to homeopathy treatment when their disease worsens and becomes chronic, when they have a challenging condition that defies conventional treatment, or when an unavoidable surgical procedure is offered. Naturally, the treatment for these diseases will take some time.Additionally, homeopathic drugs work quickly and effectively for acute conditions.

The person with depression tends to be like a heated glass that breaks with the least pressure. Depressed people want to be all alone all time, will be more frustrated for no reason. They blame themselves for everything. They believe all the suffering happens from their end to everyone or everyone is behind his suffering. They consider themself a failure. There are few other types of individuals who give utmost importance to what others think of them. Their confidence depends on what others feel about them. If others give them a priority, they believe they are worth it. If not, they think they’re worthless.

Their confidence depends on what others think of them. This happens because they are grown up in such a way like if the neighbors’ or family friends or relatives praise them for their behavior, they consider themselves worth. They look for appreciation, praises, compliments from others for whatever they do. On one side, that may help them have encouragement to keep up their performance, and on the other hand, if they could not keep up their image or performance, it will end up having a sense of failure and pulls them into depression. If the person is wise to understand his abilities and flaws, he will again get back to normal by boosting his confidence and giving himself another chance.
