Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine. People are not aware of the way it actually works. Through this blog, you will be able to perceive the fundamentals of homeopathy, how it differs from the conventional system of medicine, and why it treats the root cause of disease instead of visible symptoms.
Conventional system/ Allopathic system of medicine:
The allopathic approach deals mostly with symptom relief. The treatment is fast but shallow. The core reason for the disease remains, so the issue usually returns. For instance, in recurring migraines, a painkiller may provide relief, but the underlying cause—hormonal imbalance, stress, or certain foods—remains uncured.
Homeopathic system/ holistic approach:
How homeopathy treats the root cause: not just the symptoms:
Homeopathic system treats the disease by understanding the root cause of disease. This is obtained by detailed homeopathic case taking. In homeopathy, case taking not only include the symptoms of the patient, but also his emotional factors, lifestyle, particular triggers etc. In homeopathy we try to understand the whole person before prescribing. This helps us to identify the underlying triggers. By keeping all this in mind constitutional homeopathic medicine will be prescribed. This will act on the root cause of the disease thus uprooting the disease from the person.
Understanding the root cause vs the symptoms:
Understanding the root cause is the road to permanent recovery. In allopathy symptoms are suppressed. As a result, when medicines are withdrawn the symptoms come back.
But in homeopathy even after stopping of the medicines the disease does not come back. This is because medicine was aimed to remove the disease permanently from the person more than suppressing the symptom.
Role of individualized case taking:
Homeopathy does not believe in one medicine for all. Two persons suffering from the same disease would not be given same medicine. The medicine differs according to the constitution of the patient, his emotional aspects, his lifestyle, his triggers etc. For understanding this, a homeopath often takes a detailed case taking. Through case taking a highly individualized constitutional medicine is prescribed. This medicine acts on the root cause and eradicate the disease from its root.
HOW HOMEOPATHY WORKS TO CORRECT THE INNER BALANCE:
Homeopathic remedies stimulate the body’s own healing power to regain health. It fortifies immunity, enhances resistance to stress, and enables the body to regain its natural balance without reliance on drugs or severe side effects.
Homeopathic medicine act by enhancing the immunity of the person.
IS HOMOEPATHY MORE EFFECTIVE THAN ALLOPATHY?
Effectiveness varies with the nature of the disease, and the stage of diagnosis.
- For chronic conditions such as PCOS, asthma, migraines, eczema, and autoimmune diseases, homeopathy frequently gives deeper, more long-term results than symptomatic relief in allopathy.
- For acute emergencies (such as appendicitis, severe trauma), allopathy is better.
Who is the father of homeopathy?
- Dr. Samuel Hahnemann is considered the father of homeopathy. He developed the principles of “like cures like” and “minimum dose,” which guide modern homeopathic practice to this day.
Which is the highest potency in homeopathy?
- Potencies in homeopathy can go up to CM (100,000c) and beyond. The choice of potency—whether low, medium, or high—is not about strength alone but about matching the remedy to the patient’s physical, mental, and emotional state.
CONCLUSION
Homeopathy is not a matter of suppressing the symptoms—it’s about knowing why you got sick in the first place and fixing that. If the cause is dealt with, the body heals itself naturally, and your immunity becomes your best shield. Homeopathic medicine also enhances the immunity of the person making it stronger to fight with diseases. Homeopathic medicines are obtained from natural sources likes plants and animals. So, they don’t give any side effects and heal you from within.
