Homeopathy and folk medicine

Homeopathy and folk medicine, they are like two trickle current in parallel to each other, each in its own channel. Still, the ultimate goal is the same – the healing of the man. However, hopes that they will merge into one river not worth it. How to combine these two streams have to think about this themselves sick.

The contradiction between these two trends began two hundred years ago. Whereas traditional medicine was treated with bloodletting and leeches, Dr. Hanneman proposed a new, alternative approach to treatment. After so many years have discovered penicillin, invented a large number of medicines and treatments. But homeopathy is well worth it in the side. Why is it so? What to choose, the modern "chemistry" or dragees with the mysterious names?


A matter of principle

If you ask people on the street, what is the difference between homeopathy and allopathy ( traditional medicine) many people would answer that the only difference in the composition of medicines – some are composed of synthetic ingredients, other natural. Again, this is only a superficial understanding of homeopathy.

But the whole conflict that is in the world. Traditional medicine cure the disease method of countering it, homeopathy uses a method similar to treat like. Simply put, a wedge a wedge knock out.

Consider a simple example. You cut an onion, depending on your personal sensitivity, you will begin to tear the eye and flow from his nose. It turns out that we caused an artificial disease, a temporary coryza. If suddenly you become ill with a viral runny nose accompanied with similar symptoms, it will help you homeopathic remedy based on, onions ( Allium sulphur D6 and D12).

A tiny dose of a toxic substance that causes similar symptoms stimulating effect on the immune system. A hard body begins to fight infection.

Another difference between homeopathy and traditional methods, this method of treatment. The traditional doctor will listen to the existing problems, to compare them with familiar diseases, will write out a prescription. The dosage will depend only on one circumstance, the age of the patient.

The homeopath works differently. He is like the investigator elicits all seemingly unrelated to the disease. With ordinary colds he asked how you sleep, what they eat and about your sex life. He will pay attention to special and personal symptoms. But this is notlimit. But to select the appropriate drug, the homeopath takes into account even the time of year and climatic zone.

It turns out that traditional medicine focuses on combating the outbreak of the disease, without taking into account the rest of the body. Homeopathy, by contrast, sees human as an indivisible and distinctive creation.

In this personal approach hides both power and weakness homeopathy. This science cannot be regarded as a craft, is more of an art. To get a positive result, you should be able to hear and feel the body of his patient. For this reason, to find the true homeopath, much harder than traditional doctors.

Mainly used as the raw material in the manufacture of homeopathic medicines is potent and poisonous substances. Ingredients can be vegetable or animal origin. From plants are used such as beans of St. Ignatius from the Philippines, the juice of a cactus "Queen of the night"from Brazil, ginseng from China, from local, such as dandelion, sunflower, birch, sleep – grass. To ingredients of animal origin include: the venom of bees, wasps, different species of snakes, musk, ambergris, whale, sea sponge. Also used metals and minerals. And this opinion that homeopathy and herbalism is that the bottom of the same, is erroneous.


It's interesting

Another misconception that drugs in homeopathy is necessarily small grains, which must be kept under the tongue( with which small children can not cope). In fact, homeopathic medicines are available in the form of drops and tablets, in the form of ointments and syrups, also in ampoules and in the form of candles.

History

Russian history all the time was behind the global. But for homeopathy this is different. In the early 19th century to this fashionable and new method were located the kings. Nicholas the first had its own homeopathic first aid kit, without which he never went on trips. However distrusted the ordinary doctor.

The homeopaths could not be treated in hospitals, but private practice was possible. This new treatment even got to Siberia, although in those days it was considered almost that the end of the world.

And yet the revolution has made adjustments. Around 30 years homeopathy has declared unscientific, and even" politically hostile."But to destroy it to the end still failed. But the status of"official medicine" as in all the world, she still was not given.

The 60s was heavy for homeopathy, it was then forbidden to train specialists, and vetoed the publication of relevant literature.

At last a thaw set in for homeopathy in the 80's. In 1995, the Ministry of healthRussia officially recognized the method of treatment and allowed to practice in hospitals.


"Every cricket stick to his last"

In order to prevent or cure any disease with homeopathy, and to obtain the maximum positive effect necessary to figure out whether in this situation it would be appropriate, or does not do without more effective drugs.

Treatment with homeopathy is simply the ideal option for healing children, pregnant, lactating, because they need to be very careful in the selection of drugs. Just drugs in homeopathy have no side effects, and make them long enough.

Another very important property is the ability to get rid of chronic diseases, where conventional medicine is to heal are unable or proposes surgical intervention. Such ailments like adenoids, tonsils, allergies, asthma, neurodermatitis, migraine can be cured quite effectively with homeopathic medicine.

Besides, with the help of homeopathy is able to treat acute respiratory viral infections, colds, flu. Another advantage of homeopathy is the fact that it improves immunity and increases body resistance to different infections, not individual species, which can not offer the vaccine.

When you started the disease homeopathic medicines do not allow the temperature to rise very high, which is very good for children, it does not "knock"it until the end, holding back her need for healing level.


By the way

Over the past few years many of the experiments have confirmed the effects of homeopathic remedies. The team of researchers from the University of Utrecht after many years of work were able to find evidence of the rules of similarity at the level of the cell culture.

Veterinary Dr. Alexander Lipin by using homeopathy cured 80 thousand cows for infertility. This positively proven method he considers the scientific method. Since homeopathic remedies cure animals, this refutes the assertion, that the action of drugs is based on the principle of suggestion.


Himself a homeopath

While traditional medicine and Church bred controversy and debate with homeopathy, what do the ordinary patients?

Not for no secret that each of us loves to exercise self-medicate, do not want to go to the doctor due to common head colds or influenza, so we wrote an antipyretic. To find a specialist of homeopathy even more difficult to find, as practitioners in the country, only about three thousand. So you have to make do with what is at hand, often go to the nearest pharmacy.

Of course, homeopathy welcomes an individual approach to treatment, and of course there is a"special recipes" are created by the doctors based on years of experience and meticulously tested in the laboratory. These drugs are very available and sold in pharmacies. And yet the effectiveness of these drugs is 60 – 70 percent. If the desired positive effect you have waited, at least these drugs will not hurt you. But if it will help, that is, of course, the incentive to continue treatment, but do not neglect the advice of a specialist.

You need to know as soon as you begin taking homeopathic medicines, there is a deterioration. But don't worry, this is the first sign that your body begins to actively fight the disease. If you endure is not possible, take the drug the antidote. It can be camphor (Camphora D1). You can just drink a Cup of strong coffee.

Often we tend not to trust what we prescribe even honored doctor, especially if the diagnosis is serious. We tend to look for and listen to different opinions, including alternative. That is why, you must see a homeopath, and listen to his authoritative opinion, and finally decide what treatments for you are more traditional or non-traditional, or maybe a combination of both.
