YYes, Homoeopathic medicines can be safely taken with any other
medication without any side effects or interactions. As homoeopathic medicine
does not interfere with other therapies, drugs, herbs, vitamins etc. it is safe
to use in while taking with other medications.
Homeopaths take great care to understand people's symptoms, how they
experience illness as well as their general state of being. By rule out the
unique symptoms and do individualization according to the patient. The
homeopath gains insight into the nature of their vital life force and is thus
able to select an appropriate remedy to stimulate it to effect a curative
reaction. In homoeopathy we treat the person, not a single disease.
·
What type of conditions or
diseases can be treated homeopathically? All acute and chronic cases are well treated by homoeopathy. Homeopathy
is applicable to a broad range of maladies including acute inflammations,
systemic imbalances, chronic degenerative diseases and mental/emotional
disturbances. By its very nature, homeopathic treatment is not specific to a
particular illness, but is directed at the underlying state of the person
suffering from that illness.
Yes. Many people who seek out homeopathic care are already taking
conventional medication with the goal of reducing or eliminating the
medication. With the proper remedy and treatment plan, this is often possible.
It is absolutely safe. Homeopathy is a wonderful, gentle healing
modality appropriate for people of all ages and conditions. It also is
extensively used to treat animals.
Homoeopathic medicines are natural, mild in action and hence completely
safe. They do not cause any side effects and are non addictive. This makes them
safe for all age groups – babies, children, young people, elderly.
This is just a myth. In fact, researches have shown that onion, garlic,
tea, coffee or any other strong smelling substance do not have any effect on
the efficacy of homeopathic medicine. Hence they can be taken safely with
homoeopathic medicines.
Essentially homeopath will listen deeply to you - listening to
understand many different aspects of your personality and state of health.
Facts of disease, descriptions of pains, emotional reactions, dreams and
physical sensations are all relevant, as well as how you move your body and how
you react to stress. It is important to express yourself honestly. The better
homeopath understands your nature, the easier it will be to find the best
remedy for you.
It may differ according to the case. For the first 6 months to year it
is best to see the homeopath every 4-6 weeks in most cases. However , this may
differ in any particular instance.
Constitutional prescribing a system of prescribing remedies based on a
deep understanding of the individual's basic energetic state. When this basic
energy imbalance is corrected, any troublesome symptoms will fall away.
Constitutional prescribing is a challenging discipline for which professional
homeopaths train and study many years.
The result of the medicine depends on whether the disease is acute or
chronic. Treatment of acute diseases show result in very short time. For
chronic cases, it depends upon the duration ,severity, complexity &
suppression of the diseases. Moreover it depends upon the patient individuality
and susceptibility.
Treatment depends upon the type of disease whether it is acute or
chronic. In case of acute disease the result of treatment is very quick e.g.
fever, cold. But if the disease is chronic e.g. Eczema, asthma time taken is
too long as these diseases are treated according to the severity, complexity,
duration and suppression of the disease.
It is a myth that homeopathic medicines are slow to act. The action of
medicine depends upon whether the disease is acute or chronic. In acute
diseases (i.e. disease of shorter duration or recent origin) homoeopathy acts
faster than any other mode of treatment and produces very quick results, which
is safe and not temporary.. However, most of the time the patients visiting the
homoeopathic physician are suffering from chronic disease (disease of longer
duration) who have been continually suppressed, over drugged or declared
incurable by conventional systems of medicine. These cases take time to show
response depending upon the severity, complexity and suppression of disease.
The diet for every disease is recommended according to the sensitiveness
of the patient towards the exogenic factors. There are very few diet
restrictions depending upon the individual's sensitivity.
Homoeopathic medicine are very mild and given in minute doses, hence
they are perfectly safe to take during pregnancy or lactation. In fact
homoeopathic medicines boost up the immunity of the patient thereby allowing
the patient to acquire resistance against diseases.
Homoeopathic medicine can be safely taken by diabetics as they contain
negligible amount of sugar which does not have any effect on the blood sugar
levels. Moreover, homoeopathic medicine can be given in distilled water also.
NO – homeopathic medicines DO NOT contain any steroids. This is the most
disturbing misconception about the homeopathic system of medicine which is
safe, effective and has alleviated the suffering of mankind for nearly 200
years. Many patients have voiced their concerns about homeopathic medicines
containing "cortisone" (steroids) during a consultation. When they
receive the first packet of homeopathic medicines in the form of pills and
powders, their suspicions about the steroid content is triggered. If steroids
were to be given to a patient why would a conscientious and diligent homeopath
spend 3 to 4 hours in a meticulous painstaking case session with a patient?
·
Scientific Testing
All homeopathic medicines contain a base of a small amount of lactose
(milk sugar) which would give FALSE POSITIVE results when tested using the
"Colorimetric method which uses tetrazolium blue salts". In this
test, the reaction of tetrazolium blue salt gives a highly colored compound
known as Farmazan. Under controlled conditions, the amount of Farmazan
developed is proportional to the quantity of steroid or any reducing sugar
present in the material being tested. Tetrazolium salts have been used for determination
of reducing sugars since the past several years.
·
So if any drug contains any
lactose, it will impart a strong color with tetazolium blue salt which will
give a false impression of the presence
if the alcohol used in this method is not completely free from aldehyde,
it will interface with the characteristic color, which may again give a false
positive reaction for a steroid. So this method is not advisable to determine
the presence of steroids in the drug.
·
Most homeopaths use lactose as a
base. Together with the alcohol, this is likely to give a false positive test
for steroids if this method is used.
Another method used to test steroids is Liberman Buchard test. Thin
layer chromatography method and UV absorption method. Almost all steroids show
UV absorption between 235 and 240 nm in dehydrated alcohol or methanol in a
clear solution. If an ultraviolet spectrum of this solution is taken between
400 nm and 200 nm on a suitable spectrophotometer, any steroid present will
show up as a maximum between 235nm and 240 nm. Absence of such a band means
absence of steroid.
·
When homeopathic remedies were
tested for steroids using the UV absorption method, none of the samples showed
maximum between 235 nm and 240 nm.
Thus it is clear that homeopathic medicines do not contain any steroids,
and one must understand the testing procedures were used to eliminate the
possibility of a misleading result.
·
Steroids and Homeopathy
The most common Non Specific Test used for testing steroids is the
calorimetric method and other tests based on colors development (UV
Spectrophotometer). A salt named Tetrazolium; Blue is used commonly in such
test. The reaction depends upon the reduction of tetrazoltum blue salt to give
a highly colored compound known as Farmazan. Under controlled conditions, the
amount of Farmazan developed is proportional to the quantity of steroid or any
reducing sugar present in the material being tested.
When homeopathic remedies are tested for steroids using the UV
absorption method, none of the samples show up as a maximum between 235nm and
240 nm.Thus it is clear that homeopathic medicines do not contain any steroids,
and one must understand the testing procedures used to eliminate the
possibility of a misleading result.
