Common Question & Answer
Where does homoeopathy come from?
In 1790 Samuel Hahnemann discovered the principle of “like curing like”. Whilst translating a book by William Cullen, Hahnemann saw that Dr. Cullen attributed the efficacy of Peruvian bark (Cinchona) in treating malaria to its bitter and astringent properties. Hahnemann disputed this point asserting that Cinchona must cure for reasons other than its bitterness and astringency, since there were many other herbs equally bitter and astringent. He decided to experiment and began to dose himself with the herb until symptoms were produced. The symptoms produced were very similar to those of Malaria. His conclusion was that the drug might be effective in treating malaria because it could cause similar symptoms in a healthy person.
It was this startling idea that led him to experiment further. Using himself, his family, and colleagues as subjects, he tested all sorts of substances. He found that any substance of plant, mineral or animal origin, given to a healthy person in repeated doses, will cause that person to develop symptoms. The same substance (in different dosage and form) will cure a sick person with a similar set of symptoms. This principle is a foundational aspect of Homeopathy and embodied in the saying: “Like may be cured by like.”
Eventually Hahnemann began to treat people basing his prescriptions on this principle of treating “like with like”. He would elicit from his patients all their symptoms and then choose a remedy which had produced symptoms that closely matched the symptoms of the illness. From the outset his results were outstanding.
How will I get to know my order is confirmed?
Although there are several homeopaths who are also registered doctors, and many homeopaths who are registered nurses, most of the homoeopaths in New Zealand are not registered medical practitioners with the status of doctors. In many countries homeopaths have trained as doctors and done further training in homeopathy (in Britain the qualification Member of the Faculty of Homoeopathy is recognised in law, for instance) or they have trained in homeopathic medical colleges graduating with qualifications recognised as equivalent to the usual medical degree.
Many Governments encourage homeopathy and give it funding just like any other branch of medicine. Support from British Royalty is conspicuous. There are several homeopathic hospitals covered by the National Health Service in Britain, similarly in India. In many countries in Europe there is both state funding and medical insurers’ support for homeopathic consultations, notably Germany and France.
Central and South American countries support homeopathy in various ways, particularly Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. The same sort of encouragement can be found in Africa, too – notably South Africa. It has been estimated that all around the world more than 500 million people use homeopathic medicines as their sole, or main, therapeutic agents.
In New Zealand the qualification National Diploma in Homeopathy is recognised by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority. The Qualifications Authority has the power to approve homoeopathic training institutions meeting all requirements, as well.
Allopathic or other treatment cannot be taken with homoeopathic medicine?
Another very common misconception is that allopathic or other medicines can’t be taken with homoeopathic medicine. But if a person is on long continued allopathic treatment, especially steroids or “life-saving drugs”, discontinuing the medicine abruptly might cause sudden increase in the intensity of his symptoms. So the best way is to reduce the dosage of the allopathic medicine gradually as the improvement starts & then stop them under the supervision of the doctor.
Do Homeopathic medicines have any side effect?
Our medicines are energy. They are prepared by serial dilutions and contain no material substance in them. Hence, no side effects.
What are the advantages of online homeopathic treatment over physically visiting a doctor?
You can save your valuable time with online health consultation.
You no longer need to take time out of your busy schedule and wait for your doctor’s appointment, long queues in the clinic, and waste time on travelling to reach your doctor.
You can connect with and consult from anywhere in the world.
How does homeopathy differ from naturopathy?
Homeopathy seeks to understand the nature of each individual patient and their disease and prescribes a different remedy for each type of disease state as each patient is different. Therefore, you can say that homeopaths are specialists. Although naturopaths take a thorough case for each individual patient, Naturopaths by contrast are generalists as they have certain protocols to treat certain disease states. They predominantly use herbs, supplements and diet to treat patients and their homoeopathic knowledge is usually limited.
What is the difference between homeopathy and conventional medicine?
Homeopathy: This is based on treating you as a whole person in the knowledge that you may have symptoms on 3 levels (physical, mental and emotional). The medicines are customized to be exactly right for you as a unique individual.
Homeopathy works to remove the underlying imbalance that is causing your ill-health.
Conventional Medicine: This usually relies on treating the physical symptoms and does not try and understand the other aspects of you as an individual that may be contributing to, or causing your ill-health. This may involve suppression, control or elimination of these physical symptoms without addressing the underlying imbalance.
