To avoid impatience. This is especially true for chronic disease. Homeopathy does not have specific medicines to relieve pain, allay anxiety, counteract insomnia, etc. Homeopathic prescriptions are always designed to eradicate illness of the entire organism. The goal is harmonious functioning on all levels of being, not merely momentary relief of specific symptoms. Sometimes this process takes weeks or months and in more severe cases it can take one or two years.

One must not be too impatient. Clients sometimes consult homeopaths with the idea that a miracle is likely to occur, and when progress is slower than they expect, they denounce homeopathy and seek another therapy. The laws of Nature proceed at their own pace and they do not progress any faster under the demands of impatience.

The strength of the immune system/individual is determined to a large extent by hereditary factors. Clients coming from families exhibiting many chronic diseases are likely to require a longer time for healing. In addition, clients with a history of several illnesses, particularly if treated with many allopathic drugs, present more problems for homeopathic treatment. And finally, clients with long histories of poor diet, no exercise, and abuse of alcohol or drugs can expect healing only after extended periods of time.

The responsibility which occasionally can be the most demanding for clients is that of waiting out whatever healing aggravations occur. In the process of eradicating illness, the strengthening of the vital force may result in a temporary increase of symptoms. Usually this lasts from only a few hours to a few days, but in some cases it may take longer. If the client doesn’t understand this possibility, it may at first seem as if the homeopathic medicine is having an adverse effect and there may be a tendency to seek allopathic relief from the exacerbated symptoms. The same confusion may occur if the client expects to never have a relapse, when in fact his or her particular case is expected to require several remedies in order to accomplish full healing. The client must be able to recognize what is happening and trust the judgment of the homeopath. The client must avoid panic and await further developments.

Choosing homeopathic health care is a decision that should be made with the understanding that it takes time. It is realistic to consult a classical homeopath if you can commit to an initial appointment and three follow up appointments. After this time period, results should be apparent.

Homeopathy is based on the philosophy that the body, mind and emotions are not separate and distinct, but are actually fully integrated. Based on this perspective, a homeopath seeks a remedy that fits all of a client’s physical and psychological symptoms. Although some people’s symptoms may be complex, a well-trained homeopath will know which symptoms should be specially noted, and can choose an effective, individualized remedy.

Prolonged emotional stress can cause physical problems, like upset stomach, difficulty in digesting foods, poor nutrient assimilation, weaker immune system, sleeplessness, etc. The opposite is also true. Illness and physical problems can result in anxiety or emotional uneasiness. Therefore, it is important for a homeopath to conduct an in-depth interview of a client to ensure a proper, all-encompassing remedy.

Homeopathy works with the innate healing intelligence of the body.

Homeopaths work with the individual to restore a state of health. They do not diagnose or treat a disease, unlike practitioners of mainstream medicine, they recognize and treat the unique state of each individual’s vital energy as expressed in mental, emotional, and physical symptoms and characteristics. The homeopath seeks to remove the ailment by using remedies that stimulate the individual’s own inherent ability to heal and thus encourage the body to cure, instead of simply suppressing symptoms.

The classical homeopath selects the single most appropriate remedy in a potency that most closely matches the illness by investigating the individual’s state of health in a thorough case-taking. They analyze the case by using the symptoms and characteristics that show the uniqueness of the individual with special emphasis placed on a known cause of the sickness or any striking symptoms or themes. After taking the case, a selection of the most similar remedy is determined through differentiation. The medicine that most closely matches the symptoms and the individual is prescribed in a single and minute dose. Only one remedy is ever prescribed at one time.

The client’s case is followed carefully and any changes that have occurred since taking the prescribed remedy are analyzed. The remedy and its action will be evaluated so that the course of healing can continue until complete healing is achieved.

Beyond this distinction, the classical Hahnemannian homeopath also practices in a coherent way according to the principles of homeopathy as explained in Hahnemann’s Organon of Medicine.

Naturopathy basically refers to any method of treatment that depends on lifestyle and diet modifications to tackle a particular disease or disorder. Naturopaths study a variety of alternative healing methods, including homeopathy, but receive what amounts to a basic training in these modalities. Homeopaths specialize in homeopathic medicine, which is a complete medical system in its own right. A Homeopath will prescribe a similar medicine to treat the root of the disease and ultimately cure the ailment naturally from within outward.

For the past one hundred years, the pharmaceutical and insurance industries have gained increasing influence over the news media and what type of medicine is available to the public. They have managed to keep factual, proven information about homeopathy from the general public. There are plenty of commercials and advertising for drugs to treat X, Y or Z condition, showcasing the horrible side effects that are often times worse and more life threatening than the condition they treat!

Even today, after homeopathy has become more known, there are virtually no fair articles or TV programs that educate people about the benefits, safety and efficacy of homeopathy.

It’s rather sad that pharmaceutical drug companies are threatened by the effectiveness and safety of homeopathy. Pharmaceutical companies know homeopathy would ruin the drug industry’s profits because too many patients would abandon these harmful and ineffective drugs in favor of safe and effective homeopathic treatment.
