Homeopathy – Things To Know Before

Homeopathy Medicine

This article will address five things to know before you choose a homeopathic specialist or buy those homeopathic medicines off the shelf.

Homeopathic remedies are medicines made by homeopathic pharmacies in accordance with the processes described in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States and are regulated by the FDA. To determine if a particular homeopathic drug is effective, experiments, called drug provings, are conducted. Who practices homeopathy?

The practice of homeopathy is incorporated into medical care by a broad range of healthcare practitioners. Medical doctors (MD’s) and doctors of osteopathy (DO’s) may elect to study homeopathy as a post-graduate specialty. Naturopathic doctors (ND’s) study homeopathy as part of their naturopathic school training.

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct profession of primary healthcare that emphasizes prevention and the promotion of optimal health. The scope of practice includes all aspects of family and primary care, from pediatrics to geriatrics, and all natural medicine modalities, including homeopathic medicine.

Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician who earned his doctorate of medicine degree in 1779 is recognized as the founder of homeopathy. Naturopathic physicians are licensed as healthcare providers in 13 states with legal provisions allowing the practice of naturopathic medicine in several other states. Homeopathic medicine could be a great alternative to traditional medicine.

Is Homeopathy Effective?

Homeopathy is a difficult concept to grasp. The FDA requires that homeopathic products put the word “homeopathic” somewhere on the packaging, though sometimes the word can be difficult to find. In homeopathy, all of the ingredients are diluted, so each ingredient in a homeopathic product has the letter “X” after it.

One of the most popular cold medicines on the market, “Zicam,” is actually a homeopathic remedy that consists of homeopathic zinc in the form of a nasal gel. Cold, flu, allergy, even bedwetting; there is a homeopathic remedy available for almost every condition (yes, there really is a homeopathic medicine to treat bedwetting, made by Liddell Laboratories in Moraga, CA).

Because there is such a small concentration of the ingredients in a homeopathic remedy, many cynics, including the drug companies that make conventional medicine and are afraid of the growing popularity of homeopathy, claim that any improvement in an ill person’s condition experienced after using a homeopathic medicine is purely the result of the placebo effect.

Does homeopathy work or not? There have been several clinical trials done over the years to test the efficacy of homeopathic products. Liddell Laboratories makes a product called “Vital HGH” which contains homeopathic HGH. Homeopathy does work.

Homeopathic medicines are carefully formulated and contain tiny amounts of specific natural substances designed to provoke a response in your body that helps your body to fight the condition that the medicine is designed to treat. Most homeopathic products are incredibly cheap. A prescribed conventional medicine costs a lot more.
