Homeopathy for today
The essential elements of homeopathy as taught by Hahnemann still hold true today. Homeopathy has grown to become the second most widely used system of medicine in the world. New remedies and ways of working continue to evolve, making homeopathy a truly dynamic energy medicine for busy people living in our complex world. Its success is due to several factors:
- Homeopathy is natural. Homeopathic remedies are based on natural ingredients.
- Homeopathy is completely safe. Even babies and pregnant women can use homeopathy without the danger of side effects.
- Homeopathy is holistic. It treats all the symptoms as one, which in practical terms means that it addresses the cause, not the symptoms. This often means that symptoms tackled with homeopathy do not recur.
- Homeopathy works in harmony with your immune system, unlike some conventional medicines that suppress the immune system. (For example, cough medicines suppress the cough reflex, which is your body’s attempt to clear the lungs.)
- Homeopathy is a complementary therapy, and can be taken alongside other medication without producing unwanted side effects.
