A Brief Introduction to Homeopathy

چکیده

What is homeopathy? Homeopathy is a complete system of medical treatment that makes use of substances normally found in nature, which are prepared into remedies by a process of serial dilution. In use for over two centuries, it continues to be an effective means of curing disease and palliating incurable illnesses. Homeopathy makes use of plants, minerals and animal derivatives, although the solutions from which remedies are made are diluted so many times that there is little or nothing left of the original material. This results in its unique safety features: no side effects, no toxicity. Examples of homeopathic medicines are Chamomilla (Chamomile), Natrum Muriaticum (salt) and Apis (bee). St. John’s Wort, Echinacea, Ginseng and other herbs are not homeopathic unless they are prepared by the unique process of serial dilution.
