Homeopathy Gentle Healing.....

 Homeopathy is the most controversial but also the most popular alternative medicine. While some argue against it, others have faith in its great power and effectiveness...

The first principle of Homeopathy is "Like Cures Like." Remedies use ingredients that cause the symptoms you want to cure. In practice, that means that remedies against fever could, for example, be made from Belladonna, which also causes fever. Apis based from bee venom is used to treat itchy swellings, and so on.

The second principle is its preparation which is called "Potentization." The diluting and agitating the ingredients activates their curative powers and enhances their effect. To do this, the ingredient is dissolved in alcohol or distilled water.

Homeopaths take one part of the medicine and mix it with nine parts of water and shaking it. What you have now is a 1X potency---One part ingredient and nine parts solvent---named after the Roman numeral X, for 10.

Now, this process is repeated. Take one part of 1X, mix it with nine parts of pure water and shake it vigorously. Now you have 2X. You do this again and again until you reach the desired grade of potency. The finished remedy is then taken orally, or sometimes it's applied as little sugar pellets that are sold as Globules.

A 20X potency, for example, is like dissolving one Aspirin pill in the water volume of the whole Atlantic. But many are much more extreme, like 30C, for example.

C means that the mixture has one part ingredient and 99 parts water. So the commonly sold 30C mixture means one part ingredient and ..one million billion billion billion billion billion

If we wanted a globule with a single atom of the original ingredient, then our pill would be the diameter of the distance between the Earth and the Sun. 150,000,000 kilometers. A pill so massive, that it would collapse into a black hole under its own mass.

Because of this, potentization is one of the biggest criticisms of homeopathy. The extreme dilution is supposed to make the ingredients more potent, but on a physical level, this doesn't really make sense. Homeopathic remedies are diluted so much that a single atom of the active ingredient is left in them.

The explanation of why the mixtures still work is that shaking the mixture after every dilution leaves behind a spirit like essence of the ingredient. Basically, the idea is that water remembers what was put into it.

In the 18th century, medicine was very different from today. Treatments like bloodletting left the patient worse off than before. So German physician Samuel Hahnemann wanted a non invasive, natural way of healing and developed homeopathy. And Homeopathic hospitals were soon successful because doing no harm beats doing harm. Hahnemann imposed strict rules on his patients.

First you had to avoid coffee, tea, alcohol, spicy food, sweet food. No old cheese, no onions, no meat. No clothes made from sheep's wool, but also no sedentary work, no sitting inside in stuffy air, no warm rooms, no riding horses, no napping, no playing games, no masturbation, and of course, no reading pornographic texts, and many more.

Then, and only then, would his remedies work, according to the inventor of homeopathy. Of course, all of these instructions are ignored and not talked about today.

Of course, all of these instructions are ignored and not talked about today. Medicine has changed a lot in the last 150 years.

Maybe you tried it and felt better, or you know someone that got over a horrible disease while using homeopathic remedies, and there are plenty of reports of it working for children and animals.

The Effect is very real and not imaginary. No matter how smart you are, you're not immune to it. If people believe that something will help them feel better, their trust alone has the desired effect. And it's been proven that the Effect can be transferred.

Children rely on their parents or keepers and are in tune to their emotions. If a parent has a lot of trust in a treatment and eases up, this can help a child relax and help relieve symptoms. The most powerful tool of Homeopathy is time. Our bodies are survival machines. Infections pass on their own after a few days. But if you take some remedy when you are sick, and then start getting better quickly,  it did indeed cure you.

The homeopathy industry play the gentle alternative to Big Pharma. The Homeopathy industry has its own lobby organizations and fights its enemies as hard as it can. Globally, the market is expected to reach over 17 billion by 2024.

Some critics even argue that the Homeopathic industry is bad for public health because it creates distrust in proven medicine. The belief in homeopathy correlates with skepticism about vaccinations.

There is actually a key to the success of homeopathy that we every one should, copy. The first consultation with a Homeopath can take hours and is very personal. For a patient who's already been on a pilgrimage from doctor to doctor, this level of attention and empathy can make a huge difference to their well being, even if the conversation was not the point of the therapy. Consultations need to be time efficient, diagnoses made quickly, treatments fast. We need to make time for the individual again. See people, not numbers. Faith can move mountains.
