Homeopathy: An introduction, my way


REAL CURE. GENTLE CURE.
Homeopathy has been described by a wise man as a beautiful and good woman, very difficult to win over. I would describe it as God; good, benevolent, but mostly beyond full comprehension.

Be do not feel discouraged or frightened by these big words of mine. Homeopathy is a delight once you get to know it better. But it demands hard work. But don't worry; once you discover the joys of knowing Homeopathy, the hard work will seem an enjoyable experience.

Coming to more practical considerations, you may ask, why should I be interested in Homeopathy? The answer is simple. It empowers you with a strong weapon to fight disease. A weapon any hard working person can learn. No, you do not need a college degree to learn it. Anyone can learn it.

Everyone falls ill sometimes. In fact sickness is a part of life. Allopathic medicine can prove to very expensive. Also they come with harsh side-effects. Homeopathy remedies (as they are called) are dirt cheap in comparison. A small vial containing about 50-60 pellets cost about 25 cents (Rs. 10). In comparison a tablet of a common antibiotic tablet costs the same.

Why is Homeopathy so little known? The answer partly is that there are no multi-billion dollar companies involved. There is no big business involved. So no corresponding big advertising and publicity budgets.

But let me assure you. Homeopathy is a treasure once you discover it.

Next time we will begin to take our fist steps in learning Homeopathy. I will recommend which books will be of immense use to you. I will start at the most basic level; so please do not feel awed about anything. Remember that I too am a layman. I hold no degree or diploma in Homeopathy. One of the greatest Homeopathic physician was Count Boenninghausen (Wikipedia); he was a layman like you and me.

USEFUL BOOK FOR BEGINNERS


Prepared by Alain Naude from a number of papers left by Dr. Hubbard, this small work remains a concise description of the theory and practice of homeopathy.

Hi, I read a Interview of dr luc de schepper he advocates the Boennghausian method of repertorising, I am a lay man want to learn Homeopathy, and I see a good logic behind the Boennghausian method than Kentenian, So will it be to good to start from Boennghausin method for a layman???. And Sir/Madam please give an elaborate post on self repertorising for Boennghausian method, and computer repertorising.

I have written extensively on prescribing in this post: http://gentlecare.blogspot.in/2008/03/some-vital-hints-for-homeopathic.html.

Moreover there is no question of preferring Kent's method or Boeninghausn method. It all depends on the case before you. If the mentals are strong, Kent's method will be useful. If the aggravation symptoms are clear in a case, go for Boeninghausen method. If the keynotes are clear, use the keynotes.

Featuring interviews with experts in the U.S., England, France and Germany, this comprehensive documentary looks at the origins, principles, and modern practice of the alternative and holistic form of medicine known as homeopathy. Two centuries ago, German physician Samuel Hahnemann developed this system of medicine, treating his patients with specialized, minute doses of natural substances intended to increase the body's own inherent defenses. Hahnemann’s methods had amazing results – during the deadly 1832 cholera epidemic that swept through Europe, homeopaths claimed a 97% cure rate.

As Hahnemann's body of knowledge increased, so did his following, although traditional physicians ridiculed his work, and homeopathy spread throughout the world. Today, homeopathic practitioners, physicians and veterinarians continue to successfully treat patients for a wide range of physical and mental illnesses, using ideas and remedies published by Hahnemann in his Materia Medica. Rather than suppressing symptoms, homeopathic medicines stimulate the body to defend and heal itself. Modern clinical trials have proven homeopathy to be safe and effective in a wide variety of non life-threatening conditions. But the processes by which these tiny doses of natural substances are able to cure remains, for many, a mystery.
