How Do You Define
Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is the brain child of Samuel Hahnemann, a German who was born in the year 1755. This man felt that the
regular medicine does not really understand the way the body reacts to diseases and therefore the treatment is not
correct. He was of the opinion that the symptoms of any disease are actually the effort of the body to right itself
and if you would want to get rid of the disease, you need to help it along not fight against it. This is a good way
to define homeopathy.
The Three Laws Of Homeopathy
If you want to define homeopathy you need to know and understand the three laws of this alternative medicine
according to Hahnemann. The first law is as described above, "treat like with like". In other words, your relief
comes when you increase the symptoms manifested by the body, so the body can heal itself. This law says that the
body can heal itself and whatever symptoms you see is an effort towards that end. Hence, not allowing these
symptoms to run their course is preventing the body from healing.
The second law which of homeopathy is that only one medicine is required to fight all the problems and symptoms
shown by the diseased body. This is backed up by the premise that each disease is caused by one particular agent
and therefore only one medicine needs to be administered per disease – not many as per the symptoms. Hence,
according to homeopathy only one medicine should be sought that matches all the symptoms of the disease.
The third and last of the laws is that the medicine should be administered in an infinitely small dose. This is
based on the belief that the body is already moving in the right direction by fighting the problem (disease) and it
requires only a little push in the right direction. According to this belief, a large dose would be fatal while the
smallest of doses would be sufficient to strengthen the ability of the body's own immune system to fight the
disease.
These three rules govern and define homeopathy succinctly. These laws point to the fact that homeopathy acts on the
completely different premise from that of the modern medicine system – and even though there is still tremendous
skepticism about it, you may find that it works. Today many choose to shift to homeopathy for treatment and find it
highly satisfactory.
