Top 10 Most Frequently Asked Questions for Homeopathy


1.Homoeopathy acts slowly!
This is only one side of the coin. Homoeopathy certainly acts fast when needed. In acute cases, when the right remedy is given at the right time and in right doses, homoeopathy acts fast, provided the patient gives the right picture of his ailment with his/her mental state. This certainly helps treat acute illness, for eg- if a patient has common cold with thirst for sips, great weakness along with restlessness, arsenic album will help to cure . In chronic and old cases it may take a time, e.g. Psoriasis. In acute attacks of asthma, homoeopathy can relive patients in few minutes but to remove the tendency / allergen/ triggering factor of asthma attack it takes time.
2.How long does treatment take?
This depends on the illness as well as the other individual characteristics of your case. In general, a slowly developing or long-standing complaint takes longer to cure than an acute one. Remember that homoeopathy aims to cure both the cause of you illness as well as its symptoms, so be patient.
3.Do homoeopathic medicines have side effects ?
Our medicines are energy. They are prepared by serial dilutions and contain no material substance in them. Hence, no side effects.
4. Can homoeopathy and other system of medicine(Ayurveda/Allopathy) be taken together?
We do not advocate the use of Ayurveda and homoeopathy together because both are holistic medicine. Therefore, if you take two together, we don’t know how to evaluate your progress. We will not come to know with which system you are better. Same with the case of allopathy. Also these conventional medicines change the symptoms to such an extent that their original presentation of the symptom is lost, making it difficult to gather enough accurate information to prescribe the correct homoeopathic remedy. The symptoms are the compass that a homoeopath uses to find his way to the right remedy. If you were to take conventional medication to treat symptoms after beginning homoeopathic treatment, you could stop the action of the remedy, rendering it ineffective. Most of the acute conditions are handled well with homoeopathy but in some exceptional conditions, we do advice the patient to take allopathic treatment.
5.Do we have different medicines for different complaints ?
In homoeopathy we do not have separate medicine for head, nose, ears, throat, etc. We give one single medicine which affects the patient as a whole and removes all his troubles. There is no medicine for any particular disease but there is medicine for the patient who is suffering from the disease. A single remedy is chosen on the basis of holistic approach which treats different complaints of the same person.
6.Can homoeopathy aggravate your problems ?
Rarely after the homoeopathic treatment is given there can be increase in your complaints. There can be two reasons for this. First and the more common reason can be the stopping of pain killers or ointment applications which may have kept your symptoms suppressed for a long time and due to removal of that factor, the complaints will be experienced in its actual intensity. In that case, homoeopathic medicine will gradually bring the whole thing under control.
Another possibility is that after the homoeopathic treatment there is slight and short worsening followed by rapid relief. This initial worsening is often the reaction of our body before the cure occurs and is a very good sign.
Another reaction that may be noticed during the course of homoeopathic treatment is that your original problems will get better gradually and then some new symptoms may appear. These new problems may indicate that we need to change your medicine and give you something that will cover this new picture and thereby help you in achieving a holistic cure.
7.What are the sources from which homoeopathic medicines are prepared ?
Our medicines are derived from following sources:
Plant Kingdom
Mineral Kingdom –   Sulphur, Calcarea Carb (Calcium Carbonate), Nitric-Acid       Natrum-Muriaticum (Common Salt)
Healthy Tissue & Secretions (Sarcodes) –  Thyroid, Pituitary

8.How does homoeopathy work?
It works by stimulating the body’s own healing power. This stimulus assists your system in clearing itself of any expressions of imbalance.

The homoeopath gives you a medicine or remedy which matches your symptoms as you experience them, and which takes into account you as a person – your individual characteristics emotionally as well as physically.
9. What does the homoeopath need to know?
The homoeopath needs a detailed understanding of who you are, along with details of any complaints and how you experience them. The series of questions on this site will lead you through all the types of information required in order to treat you. The more your homoeopath knows about you, the more easily will he or she be able to treat you effectively.
