When it comes to homeopathy, some of us tend to have a few doubts about this form of alternative treatment. Is homeopathy better or allopathy? Does Homeopathy really work? Here are some of the Homeopathy FAQS that can clear your doubts about this alternative form of treatment:

How does homeopathy differ from Ayurveda or herbal medicine?

Homeopathy does not make use of any material substance. It treats underlying cause of a disease rather than treating the external symptoms. Also we need to know that there is a  difference between Herbal Medicine and Ayurveda. Herbal medicine is the use of plant constituents in a pure form and our health response to this type of medication depends on the concentration of the medicine and the dose. Ayurveda is older and more traditional form of Herbal Medicine. It uses herbs along with physical elements like Yoga and massage.

Can I trust homeopathy?

Homeopathy is endorsed by World Health Organization. It is practiced in over 100 nations and is approved by the US FDA, European FDA and the Indian DCGI. India has the highest number of homeopathic clinics and organizations in the world.

How did Homeopathy originate?

Homeopathy has been around for more than 200 years. It is a field of medicine discovered by a German doctor Samuel Hahnemann in 1796. Homeopathy came into India in 1810 when a few German doctors and missionaries visited Bengal. Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the then king of Punjab, had lost his voice due to vocal cord strain, and it was homeopathy that cured his condition. Happy with the cure, the king popularized Homeopathy.

What are those  tiny white round homeopathy pills actually?

Homeopathic pills are nano-medicines given in the form of micro doses to stimulate the healing power of the body. These pills contain powerful ingredients that can treat the symptoms and cure the disease by its roots.

Can Homeopathy cure all diseases?

Homeopathy is very effective for chronic diseases. So without doubt, homeopathy is recommended for treating eczema, vitiligo psoriasis, migraine etc. Homeopathy is less effective for acute diseases or disorders. Health conditions that need critical attention like heart attack, severe infection, malaria, TB, typhoid etc are not recommended for homeopathy and in these cases, allopathy is better; considering the treatment has to be done immediately. Homeopathy has its limitations and so does allopathy

Can I take other medication along with homeopathic treatment?

Yes, homeopathic medication can be taken along with other forms of treatment like allopathy. If people have told you, that homeopathy cannot be taken along with other medication, it is a myth. Homeopathy can be taken along with allopathy for problems like arthritis, asthma, diabetes etc.

Can you trust homeopathy medication that is sold in a local medical shop?

The Government of India regulates more than 200 homeopathic institutions but it has not be able to regulate thousands of homeopathy manufacturers. In such a case, it is recommended to go to a trusted homeopathy doctor and buy medications that are recommended by her. You can also check the labels of homeopathic medication. Make sure you buy the medication from a reputed health shop or chemist.

Does homeopathy take a long time to cure compared to allopathy?

The view that homeopathy takes pretty long time to cure is a myth. Homeopathy is known to cure long-standing, chronic disease from its roots, so it is bound to take some time. For instance, if homeopathy is used to treat asthma, it can take a year and a half for the patient to be completely cured. Though it may seem long, it is nothing in front of years of suffering, a patient has to go through to get relief from asthma.

Are there any side effects involved in homeopathy?

Homeopathy has no side effects. It is the safest form of treatment if prescribed by a homeopath

What does the success of homeopathy depend on?

The success of homeopathy depends on 3 things: 1. Nature of disease 2. Body’s response to the medication and 3. Strength of the prescribed medicine.
