What
is Homoeopathy?
Homoeopathy
is one the fastest growing and most trusted forms of natural medicine.
The skilled practitioner can often achieve remarkably effective
results for both acute and chronic illnesses. A form of subtle energy
medicine, Homoeopathy, though it is based upon ancient principles,
was brought to popularity by German physician and pharmacist Samuel
Hahnemann in the late eighteenth century. Although Hahnemann was
trained in conventional medicine, he became disillusioned by many
of the barbaric surgical procedures and practices of the day, and
by powerful medications that were used without any sound rational
basis, and which had such appalling side effects.
Experimenting
firstly upon himself, Hahnemann discovered that various natural
substances, when consumed on a regular basis, produced symptoms
of various illnesses, despite the person being free of the illness
itself. The critical point however was that he discovered that the
same substances, when administered, in very dilute amounts, to patients
actually suffering from the illness, appeared in many cases to cure
the illness. Hahnemann also discovered, quite bafflingly, that the
more dilute the form of medication, the more effective it became.
It
is fair to say that conventional medicine has embraced Homoeopathy
as much as it has any other complementary therapy. Results of Homoeopathic
remedies have been proven to be successful in over 130 "blind"
scientific trials. Almost all illnesses can be treated.The UK has
five NHS Homoeopathic hospitals in London, Glasgow, Bristol, Liverpool
and Tunbridge Wells.
