What it is • How it works on the body • How it differs from Allopathy & Ayurveda

🟢 WHAT IS HOMEOPATHY?

Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine developed by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (Germany, 1796).
It is based on the idea that the body has an innate power to heal itself, and medicines are given to stimulate this self-healing ability.

✨ Key Philosophy:

“Treat the person, not just the disease.”

🔵 CORE PRINCIPLES OF HOMEOPATHY

1️⃣ Law of Similars – “Like cures like”

A substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can cure similar symptoms in a sick person when given in a highly diluted form.

🧪 Example:

• Onion causes watery eyes & runny nose

• Homeopathic remedy Allium Cepa is used for similar cold symptoms

2️⃣ Minimum Dose – Ultra-dilution

Medicines are diluted many times (potentized), so the dose is extremely small, reducing toxicity and side effects.

🔬 Belief:

Smaller dose → deeper & gentler action on body’s vital force

3️⃣ Individualized Treatment

Two people with the same disease may get different medicines, depending on:

• Mental state 😌😠

• Physical constitution 🧍

• Lifestyle & triggers

🟣 HOW HOMEOPATHY AFFECTS THE BODY

🧠 Step-by-step action (as believed in Homeopathy):

1️⃣ Stimulates Vital Force
Homeopathy works on the body’s energy system (vital force) rather than directly killing germs.

2️⃣ Triggers Self-Healing Response
The remedy acts like a signal to the immune system:

“This is the imbalance—correct it.”

3️⃣ Holistic Balance

• Mind 🧠

• Body 💪

• Emotions ❤️
  All are addressed together.

4️⃣ Gradual & Gentle Healing

• Symptoms improve slowly

• Root cause is targeted

• Long-term balance is emphasized

⚠️ Important:
Homeopathy is generally used for chronic, functional, and lifestyle-related disorders, not emergency conditions.
