Homeopathic remedies are medicines, prepared from natural substances, mostly plants, minerals and animals.

What is Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine that uses various plants, and minerals in minute doses (micro-doses) to stimulate the healing system of the body by gently boosting the natural energy of the body. It is suitable for all ages and is also used in veterinary practice for treating animals. Homeopathy focuses on the individual and concentrates on treating specific physical and emotional symptoms for long lasting benefits.

History of Homeopathy

Homeopathy is the longest established complementary medicine in Europe. The homeopathic system of medicine has been widely practiced in Europe, Asia and America for over 200 years. It was founded by a German Physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843). In 1790 while translating medical text from English to German he came across an article about Cinchona being used for the treatment of malaria due to its astringent property. He, also being a chemist, was not convinced of this theory and started taking regular doses of cinchona bark (quinine). He noticed this produced symptoms of intermittent fever like malaria. The symptoms recurred each time he took a dose of cinchona and would disappear on stopping it.This made him wonder if cinchona was used in the treatment of malaria as it was capable of producing similar symptoms in a healthy person.This discovery led to an idea which he published in 1796 as Essay on a New Principle for Ascertaining the Curative Power of Drugs. He experimented with many other substances on himself and other healthy individuals and recorded all the symptoms meticulously. This led to the foundation of homeopathy.

Individualized treatment

Treatment is based on each person’s unique symptoms and an individualized homeopathic medicine is selected after detailed consultation.

Homeopathic remedies

Homeopathic remedies are medicines, prepared from natural substances, mostly plants, minerals and animals, under FDA guidelines. Homeopathy is different from herbal medicine. Homeopathic medicines of herbal origins are specifically prepared to a diluted substance far beyond its herbal origin, according to the standards set forth in the homeopathic pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS)

The traditional principles behind homeopathy

Homeopathy is based on the principle of Law of Similar

The word Homeopathy is derived from the Greek word “Homoios", which means similar and “Pathos” which means disease of suffering.Its foundation is based on the principle of Similia Similibus Curentur or’ like cures like’. It means a substance, when given to a healthy individual, produces a certain set of symptoms and the same substance (micro dose) can treat a similar set of symptoms in a sick individual.

Our Holistic Approach

At Alt Therapies Center, homeopathy is offered as one of the complementary treatments providing a broader approach to health and well-being. We design personalized treatment plans after gathering information during the consultation and understanding the individual's concerns.

Detailed Assessment

The initial consultation includes an in-depth discussion of physical and mental symptoms, medical history, family history, and other relevant information. This allows the practitioner to develop a deep and complete understanding of your condition and concerns.

Individualized homeopathic remedies

The assessment is followed by selection of a specific homeopathic remedy that caters to overall symptoms and presentation. The potency and dosage of the selected remedy is based on an individualized approach.
