WELCOME TO HOMEOPATHY @ AURA HEALTH

1. Homeopathy: Homoeopathy is a safe, gentle and effective system of healing. It treats the individual by identifying and addressing the underlying cause of the disease and stimulates the body's natural tendency to heal itself. It is a system of natural medicine with a proven track record of safety and clinical effectiveness.

Homeopathy is acknowledged by World Health Organisation (WHO), and is trusted by millions of people world-wide.

Treatment of disease in Homeopathy is different from orthodox medicine. While orthodox medicine helps to manage the symptoms by giving prescribed medications, often the cause of the condition is left untreated and the patient remains dependent on the medication. On the contrary Homeopathic treatment while managing the presenting symptoms will also aim at removing the root cause of the illness.

Homeopathic remedies are easy to administer and have no toxic effects, making them safe to use for everyone including babies, children, pregnant women and aged people.

Homoeopathy can be effective in treating a wide range of health conditions relating to physical, mental and emotional states. It can be effectively employed in treatment of both acute and chronic diseases. It can be used as an alternative to conventional medicine or alongside it as a complementary or integrated medicine for good health and well-being.

Homeopathy is the largest used alternative medicine in the world today. It is popular and well established in England, France, Germany, Netherlands and other European countries. It is also widely practiced in India, South America, and Mexico.

Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Great Britain’s Royal Family, Mark Twain, Yehudi Menuhin and Dizzy Gillespie and numerous celebrities like Pamela Anderson, Boris Becker , Tony Blair, Catherina Zeta Jones, Martina Navratilova , Olivia Newton John, Cindy Crawford, Whoopi Goldberg, Cher etc are among the staunch believers and supporters of Homeopathy.

7. What happens at consultation?

The first appointment usually lasts one hour to an hour and a half. Your Homeopath might do a physical examination where necessary; however, most of the interview is verbal. During the first interview, the main objective of the Homeopath is to understand the patient and his symptoms in totality– mental, emotional, and physical.

In taking your case, the Homeopath will look for symptoms in your body and also give equal importance to your nature, your feeling and reactions, your dreams, etc. In Homeopathy, each patient is regarded as a sum of his symptoms and his innermost feelings. Since the aim is to understand each person as an individual, the Homeopath looks for things that are most individualistic of the person. In order to properly gather complete information and determine the right remedy, the Homeopath is likely to ask you number of questions related to your symptoms, general health, likes and dislikes, what aggravates or ameliorates the complaint, family history, mental and emotional make up, sleep, dreams etc. Collection of this information gives your Homeopath the knowledge of your personality. This helps your Homeopath to select a precise remedy that helps to initiate healing. Your Homeopath will also advise diet and life style changes and exercises when and where necessary.

8. FAQ’s

a. What Is Homeopathy?
The word Homeopathy is a Greek derivative Homoeo / Homeo (meaning similar) and Pathos (meaning suffering). Homeopathy is a system of medicine based on the principle of treating ‘like with like’ (Similia Similibus Currenter).

Though the theory, ‘like can be treated with like’ has been postulated by Hippocrates (468 -377 BC), it wasn't until the work of Dr.Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) that the theory has been put to practical use. Since then Homeopathy has been researched thoroughly, developed extensively, tested time and again for its efficacy.

b. Fundamental Principles

~Like cures like
Homeopathy is based on the principle “Similia Similibus Currenter” meaning “Like Cures Like” whereby a substance which is capable of producing a disease like state in a health individual is administered to the patient, but in a very minute dose, to cure the similar disease.

~Treating the Whole Person
Homeopathy is a holistic medicine aimed at treating the person as a whole rather than just the symptoms.

In contrast to conventional medicine, a classical Homeopath tries to find a single remedy which could fit to treat the whole range of symptoms experienced by the sufferer.

There are no disease specific medicines in Homeopathy, but there are specific remedies for each suffering individual.

To make it simple to understand there is no specific medicine for Migraine, but a migraine remedy can be selected for Shane, Tom, Rebecca, Margaret etc. depending upon their individual presentation of symptoms. They may possibly receive 6 different remedies for their migraine complaints. Though all of them are labelled as migraine sufferers, each one of them experience and present the symptoms differently. To select a Homeopathic remedy for each one of these sufferers a Homeopath takes into consideration the character of the pain, what triggers the migraine episode, what makes the symptoms worse or better, family history, physical, mental and emotional personality of the sufferer etc which is unique to each patient.

~Do no harm first.
The first concern to anyone using any medicine is "Is the medicine safe?" Essentially all Homeopathic medicines are safe and can be effectively used by the whole family.

As the medicine used in Homeopathic treatment is in very minute quantities there are no toxic effects of medicine. Homeopathic medicines are side effect free.

c. Homeopathic medicines

Homeopathic medicines are derived mostly from plants, vegetables and mineral substances .During the process of preparation, all Homeopathic medicines undergo a mathematico-mechanical process called Potentization, where the crude substance is serially diluted hundreds and thousands of times till the required potency is reached.

The potentization process liberates the essence and the life force of the source substance which could then be used as remedy when indicated. When indicated and given to a diseased individual this remedial life force stimulates the life forces and immune system of the human body bringing about a natural healing process.

d. Disease concept in Homeopathy

According to Homeopathic philosophy for any disease to occur in the body, the life force or vital force of the body has to be disturbed first. This deranged or disturbed life force is the true cause of all illnesses. This deranged life force makes the body susceptible to invading organisms causing disease and can also at the same time cause systemic dysfunctions which may lead to chronic disorders and its symptoms. So mere treating of symptoms without rectifying the deranged life force will tend to give you only temporary relief, leaving the body susceptible for repeated attacks.

When an indicated Homeopathic medicine is given to a diseased individual, it rectifies the deranged life force, triggering the healing process and leaving the body to heal itself. This is the level of action of Homeopathic remedies.

An indicated Homeopathic medicine is called a remedy as it tries to remedy the cause of the disease rather than just keep medicating the symptoms.

e. How does a Homeopathic remedy work?

Homeopathic medicines act by stimulating the body’s own healing mechanism and allowing the body to rectify the underlying root cause of the disease by itself thus bringing rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of health.

f. Scope of Homeopathy

Most common acute and chronic disorders can respond well to Homeopathic treatments.

Acute conditions like common cold, fever, diarrhoea etc.., chronic conditions like arthritis, eczema, irritable bowel syndrome, urinary disorders, sexual disorders, women’s problems etc, and recurring conditions like migraines, sinusitis, allergies, etc, can be effectively treated using Homeopathy.

Surgery and Homeopathy : Homeopathy respects Surgery as an art and science in itself and recommends surgical intervention when and where necessary. Though Homeopathy cannot replace surgery, it can be used in certain conditions labeled as ‘surgical’ like Renal calculi (kidney stones-small), Gall stones(small), certain Tumors (such as Ganglion), Tonsillitis, Warts, Callosities, Piles, Sinusitis, Polyps in ear and nose etc with effective results. It may also help to prevent future occurrence of certain surgical conditions. It can also be used to treat the after effects of surgery (like pains, infections, unusual sensations etc) and to hasten the healing process after surgery and fractures.

Emergencies and Homeopathy : Homeopathy has no scope of treatment during emergencies. But, it can be effectively used during the period of recovery after an emergency situation.
