Mini-Profile
Homeopathy is really a method of treatment discovered by a German physician and scientist Samuel Hahnemann (1755 - 1843). Homeopathic medicines are made from extremely diluted natural substances: plants, minerals and animal products. The fundamental principle of homeopathy is the Law of Similars: substance that causes specific symptoms can treat a disease with similar symptoms. The main objective of a homeopath practitioner is to locate the remedy that matches the individual pattern of the disease and awaken essential force to overcome the illness. Homeopathic medicine by itself doesn’t kill germs, does not accumulate in invaded tissue, and doesn’t decrease gastric acid production. Homeopathic medicine gives an impulse to the body to heal itself. This impulse arouses the natural process of self-healing, and the body by itself copes with germs, regulates the levels of gastric acidity and blood pressure, bringing the patient to good health. Homeopathic treatment is conducted in a natural and gradual way without side effects that can take place when taking conventional drugs.
