Healing With Homeopathy
Do you know what Cindy Crawford, Cher, Tina Turner, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Prince Charles, all have in common? They all use homeopathic remedies.
Homeopathy is an alternative medicine that concentrates on caring for the whole person with methods that are specific, gentle, and sympathetic to the body's needs. The word "homeopathy" is derived from 2 Greek words: homoios (like) and pathos (suffering).
Homeopathy's basic principal is that "like cures like." Meaning that what ever substance is causing the problematic symptoms can be taken in minute doses to cure the problem. Since the substances used in homeopathy are extremely small, there are no side effects, adverse reactions, or contraindications. You usually place tiny pills under the tongue, six times a day. Remedies to treat the external symptoms are treated in ointment form.
If you think of homeopathy like you do immunizations it is easier to understand. When you were a kid, you probably got a shot for measles - you were actually given a live, weakened strain of the measles virus. Your body learns to fight it off so if the virus ever shows up again, you'll be immune to it.

First Aid: used to treat immediate and common household problems like cuts, bruises, rashes, or bee stings.
Acute Homeopathy: used to treat health problems where the symptoms will eventually go away, like a cold, cough, or sports injury.
Constitutional Homeopathy: used to treat long-term health problems such as recurrent ear or sinus infections, or back pain.
The philosophy of homeopathy holds that the mind, body, and emotions are not separate. Homeopaths treat the patient as a whole person, rather than a body part on an assembly line. It can be life-changing for people who haven't had any luck with traditional western medicine.
Although, some would say people are wasting their money. Skeptic James Randi is so convinced that homeopathy is a form of quackery, that he has offered $1 million to anyone who can provide convincing evidence of its effects.
