Homoeopathy is one of the scientific systems of medicine based on the Principle " Similia Similibus Curentur " which means, " let likes be treated by likes". Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, a German Physician enunciated this Principle. It is proved that the medicine which can cause a set of symptoms on healthy human beings can cure the same symptoms in diseased patients. This concept is similar to the " Samam Samenah Shanthi " concept of Indian thought.
The Homoeopathic medicines are dynamised by way of diluting and successing crude drug substance to activate its inherent properties. By thisway the original drug substance is reduced to extremely low quantity. Homoeopaths postulate that these medicines act on the immune system of the individuals and thereby strengthen it so as to enable the body to fight illness.
It is unfortunately a false impression that homoeopathic medicines act slow.One of the reasons for such a mis conception could be due to the fact that inspite of its tremendous potential to cure common acute aliments, Homoeopathy is being widely used for treatment of chronic, uncommon ailments. It is considered good only when common ailment becomes uncommonly troublesome and chronic, or when there is a difficult condition, which defies conventional treatment or there is a proposed surgical treatment which is unavoidable . Naturally, these conditionswill take some time to be cured. Even then, by its effectiveness and successes, it has earned good reputation and patronage. The use of these medicines in Government dispensaries in various localities has proved their quick effect where 90 % of patients come only for acute problems like diarrhea, fever, cough, cold and pains Source; Myths and Facts (CCRH Publication).

As the daily dietary intake of sugar by a person would normally far exceed the minuscule quantity consumed in the form of homeopathic pills (Approximately the quantity of sugar consumed with 1 cup of tea is same as being consumed by entire week of Homeopathic myedication).

It is a fact that homoeoapthic medicines have no side effects. The term ‘side affects' of a medicine comes from modern pharmacology. These drugs are aimed at one area of the body such as the cardiovascular system, the gut,the kidneys, etc. Though they have a primary area of action, they also effect other areas of the body. If these effects are undesirable, they are known as adverse side effects. Homoeopathic medicines are not employed against one particular area or organ of the body. The homoeopathic remedy is chosen because it matches as closely as possible with the totality of symptoms of the patient.Side effects, such as tissue destruction, do not occur under Homoeopathy.

Although it may be realised that dilution and succussion eventually results in nothing thatremains of the original active substance, two centuries of worldwide clinical experience with homeopathic medicines would appear to tell us that something very different is happening. Professor Luc Montagnier, the French virologist who won the Nobel Prize in 2008 for discovering the AIDS virus, recently published research that confirms that the high dilutions used in homeopathy result in modifications to the water’s structure, which mimics the original molecules used to make the medicines. This research has indicated that electromagnetic signals of the original medicines remain in the water and are still able to give rise to biological effects. With more research continuing in this area, it is likely that we will gradually gain a more precise understanding of how homeopathic medicines act as a starting point for the body to begin healing.
Detailed history is very essential as homeopathy believes in treating the individual and not the disease. So the physician needs to know the individual and not about his disease. Also the chronic diseases are due to suppression of skin affections or emotions; hence detailed history will reveal whether any past ailments suppressed has lead to the present complaints.

No. It is a misconception that has been developing in the recent times. Due in many cases after seeing the improvement in a very short time people think that homeopathsgive steroids. All Homoeopathic medicines are prepared by using scientific predefined methods of extracting the medicinal properties from source substances. There is no scope or need to adulterate the derived medicines with any other substances, as this would completely obliterate the curative properties of the same. The prescription of homoeopathic medicines is based on the similarity of the symptoms of the patient with those produced by the drug (in its purest form) when proved (clinical trials) in healthy individuals.So any addition to the original medicine would completely alter its medicinal properties and hence alter it non-curative.

Yes. It is very essential to diagnose a disease, but for the selection of the remedy we require to know the characteristic symptoms of the patient and not the disease symptoms. For e.g. If a person is having an attack of asthma, he will be having wheezing and congestion of the chest and he gets relief only if he throws his head backwards. Wheezing and congestion of chest are symptoms of the disease but for the selection of the remedy the important symptom is 'relief by throwing head backwards'. Hence to differentiate the disease symptoms with the individual characteristic symptoms good knowledge of disease is important. The pathological investigations are also important to judge the improvement, know disease diagnosis and the prognosis.
