3 Important Lessons About Medication

By Ronald Koebley


What is Homeopathic Medicine?

Homeopathic medicine won't be found in your local pharmacy, but, in some countries, it is becoming a popular alternative to medicines bought over-the-counter or prescribed by doctors. This is because this theory of medicine only uses substances that are found in nature. These medicines seek to treat a wide array of various diseases. Homeopathic remedies seek to fight infection be strengthening your natural immune system. To kill that pathogens that sometimes ravage our bodies, practitioners of this theory use natural substance to cause the immune system to react strongly.

Homeopaths strictly follow the "law of similars." The substances used in this theory cause symptoms similar to those that their patients are suffering from. Homeopaths administer remedies in small doses so that the immune system can get stronger by becoming familiar with how to fix a symptom. These substances are highly diluted so that they do not cause adverse effects to the patient. With reference books at his side, a homeopath can find many substances that are useful in fighting various diseases.

Because homeopathic substances are watered-down, they are thought to carry very little risk. This attracts many people because they don't like the side effects of their prescription drugs. Even though homeopathic medicine often uses very dangerous substances such as arsenic, they are diluted so that they are safe and potentially effective.

One of the most often used homeopathic remedies is Arsenicum Album. Though it causes exhaustion, it is used to treat anemia, infection, food poisoning, and even anxiety. When given to children, it is often used as a treatment for high fever and intense diarrhea.

Homeopaths also often use of sulfur. Because sulfur will cause your skin to itch or burn, it is used to treat various skin conditions. Sulfur can be very dangerous, so for every part of sulfur, twelve parts of water dilute it. Psoriasis, eczema, and acne all treated with sulfur, as well as, digestive and respiratory issues.

Conditions that effect the circulatory and respiratory systems are often treated with phosphorous. Phosphorous poisoning affects these systems, and so because of the "law of similars" it is used in small doses to treat circulatory and respiratory diseases. Despite any doubts people may have, there have been reports of phosphorous effectively treating asthma, pneumonia, and bronchitis. Phosphorous also causes blot clots, so its use in homeopathic medicine extend s to nosebleeds and hemorrhages as well.

While homeopathic remedies often utilize dangerous substances, they have reportedly yielded positive results. The lack of side effects is what attracts many people to try these natural medicines. It seems that all these remedies use dangerous substances, but the most popular prescription is water, so that isn't necessarily the case. While unlikely to be approved by the FDA, homeopathic remedies are becoming increasingly popular as more and more people experience positive results by using them.
