The Homeopathic Remedies

To be able to understand the action of the homeopathic remedies, we first need to know what the meaning of the symptoms within the illness is.
When we are sick, our organism tries to react in such a way that it brings the health back. The symptoms like fever, pain, discharges, diarrhoea, etc; while they are disturbing, they are no other thing than attempts of our own vital energy to restore the lost balance.  
These symptoms are not produced by external factors; they are a result of our own defensive system. There are no pathological symptoms which are not prone to healing or at least which try to stop the outcome of an illness.

The objective of the practitioner then is not to go against the nature with anti-symptoms remedies, on the contrary, to support and stimulate the healing action. This is just achievable with remedies in which their action is able to reproduce the symptoms, not only of the illness, but also the once that are own for each patient in particular, individualizing the patient in order to restore the psycho-somatic-environmental balance and therefore letting him to develop and act fully.


 Each one of us have our own defensive system, which is different to other people, each one of us in its own way, will react in a different way to any aggression (psychological, infectious, or climate).


The homeopathic remedy has the physical faculty to reproduce in a healthy person the symptoms that later will be used for a homeopathic practitioner to reproduce the same symptoms to stimulate the curative tendency on the ill person.


In this way, homeopathy will always act favouring the nature, which is wiser than us, to be able to heal on a soft, quickly and permanent way. 


Homeopathy is not just another medication, neither it is a different way to treat the illness, homeopathy is a complete conceptual philosophy which considers the patient as a complete unit, which thinks and acts, who has to be restored on their psych-somatic balance and therefore, it is not directed just to correct the ill body, but also the person as an individual in their own totality.


 The process of dilution


Homeopathy defines the potency of its remedies according to the number of dilutions; the more diluted a medication is the more potent it is. This process of diluting the remedies is known as potentiation. 
Potency is defined as a number, in such a way that the higher the number is, the higher the dilution is. For example, a 30c potency remedy is more diluted, and therefore, according to homeopathy, is more potent than a 6c remedy. Homeopaths agreed that the lower potencies have a higher impact on the physical or physiological level, while higher potencies will have more impact on the mental and emotional level.

Therefore, emotional problems should be always be treated with high potency remedies, but always taking in consideration the vitality of the patient, because homeopathic medications work using our own internal energy (vital force) to heal itself, the higher the potency, the more energy will be used and therefore if the vitality of a patient is not strong enough, even though the emotional symptoms could be very evident, the potency of the medication cannot be as high as we may want it to be, otherwise we will be consuming all the energy of our patient.


As we said before homeopathy is not just another medicine, is a complete system based on philosophical principles. Every principle has to be taken into consideration before we prescribe a remedy to a patient, and that is why even though symptoms from one patient to another could be similar in appearance, they will never be exactly the same from one patient to another, and that is why we always prescribe a different remedy for every person based on their individuality. 


It is an art to prescribe homeopathy, is not an easy work and it takes years to learn the art of homeopathy, we have to be very careful and conscious when prescribing a remedy, because we have to take into consideration the totality of the person, therefore, if you want to start being treated with homeopathy, you should look for a Professional Qualified Classical Hahnemaniann Homeopath who will take care of every single detail of your history and prescribe the best remedy for you.


One of the biggest mistakes on this era of internet is to look for a remedy yourself, and take them as if they were not going to cause any harm to your person, big mistake because prescribing a homeopathic remedy is not just to choose the medication that looks more similar to you, it involves a lot of knowledge.
