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.
