Today we can talk about a steady increase in demand for various homeopathic medicines. The explanation for this phenomenon lies in the occurrence of overdoses, as well as poisoning with traditional drugs. As an alternative to chemicals, consumers began to turn their attention to natural, natural medicines.
The modern market offers homeopathic remedies for all existing diseases. The quality and effectiveness of these natural preparations are confirmed by the international certificates and diplomas attached to them.
The emergence of homeopathy
In the history of medicine, there is information about the possibility of treating similar ones with the like. Even Hippocrates considered this principle one of the main components of medical practice. However, only after several centuries, these approaches began to be applied in medicine.
The term "homeopathy" was first introduced in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann. This German doctor in his work he outlined a new approach to research practice, as well as the appointment, use and manufacture of such medicines that were not part of the traditional pharmaceutical business.
The essence of homeopathy
What is this teaching and what is its main task? Homeopathy is one of the areas of alternative medicine. Doctors following its principles use highly diluted drugs to treat the patient. What is their purpose? A homeopathic medicine can cause a healthy person to display symptoms similar to those of a disease. At the same time, the basic principle of this direction, which states that the like can only be cured by the like, sets to work. Prescribing this or that natural remedy, the doctor seeks to put his patient on the feet in the shortest possible time.
The difference between homeopathic medicines and pharmacological
How are natural remedies different from conventional medicines that are offered to us in pharmacies? The effect of medicines used by traditional medicine is not aimed at treatment, but at eliminating the main symptoms of the disease. A completely different homeopathic remedy is adopted by a person. What does it mean? This medicine will not remove the symptom, which is not a disease at all, but only its manifestation. A homeopathic medicine will only support the body, which itself knows how to eliminate the pathology, in the fight it will give new strength for the appearance of a full-fledged reaction to the disease. This will speed up the entire treatment process.
In other words, a homeopathic remedy plays the role of a specific signal. It modifies or triggers human health, without showing a direct bactericidal, virologostatic or other effect.
What is part of homeopathic medicines
You can buy natural alternative medicine in pharmacies. Moreover, the list of homeopathic remedies is quite extensive, and the price is quite moderate. However, for the effective use of these funds, you need to have an idea of their uniqueness and the differences that they have compared with traditional medicines.
Many believe that only plants are part of homeopathic medicines . However, it is not. Many other biological materials are also used to produce these products. Among them are the organs and tissues of mollusks, insects and animals, as well as metals and mineral elements.
Homeopathic Medicine Production
The preparation of these natural products has a complex and very complicated technology, consisting of alternations, shaking, weighing and dilution. All medicines included in the list of homeopathic medicines are obtained by repeated dilution of the main substance. This process is carried out in water or alcohol, which play the role of solvents. Then follows the grinding of the obtained substance in a natural way.
A different type of dilution can be used in the process when preparing a homeopathic preparation. What does it mean? Dilution 10 times is indicated by the symbol "D", and 100 times - by "C". Each of these species indicates the content of the active substance in the solution.
Breeding is carried out repeatedly. For example, each subsequent “D” solution will contain ten times less active substance than the previous one, and “C”, respectively, a hundred.
The standard list of homeopathic remedies includes remedies in medium and small degrees of dilution. However, sometimes you can find medicines that contain very little active substance. When creating them, a high (C30) degree of dilution was applied.
Release form and use
The standard list of homeopathic medicines includes products for internal use, made in the form of granules and extracts. The latter form is considered the most effective in its effect on the body.
Before taking homeopathic medicines, the list and description of these natural remedies must be studied. This will help you choose the right direction of treatment and get rid of the disease faster.
Homeopathic remedies are universal. They can be used not only for oral administration, but also for the manufacture of compresses, rinses and lotions. Homeopathic specialists say that the drugs they recommend are completely safe. The action of these natural medicines will not cause side effects and allergic reactions. Impossible in their use and overdose. In this regard, homeopathic medicines are prescribed to patients of any age, including newborn children. They will not harm pregnant women, nursing mothers, as well as elderly people.
Classification
Homeopathic remedies of domestic production are divided into two large groups:
- monocomponent;
- multicomponent, or complex.
The first type of homeopathic remedies is prescribed only by a doctor of the corresponding direction. The specialist will write a prescription based on the individual characteristics of the patient’s personality.
Complex preparations are often prescribed by traditional medicine doctors as general strengthening natural additives. A prescription is not required to purchase these medicines.
Cold treatment
It is not at all difficult to get rid of a cold or flu with the help of homeopathic remedies. A correctly selected drug will strengthen health within a few days after the onset of the disease.
When prescribing the right remedy, the homeopathic doctor pays attention to the specific symptoms of the patient. In addition, the specialist makes a certain emphasis on the individual characteristics of the patient. All these factors together lead to the fact that for different patients suffering from a cold or flu, the doctor can prescribe various homeopathic medicines. Let us dwell on some of them.
So, at the time of the onset of the disease, when pain occurs in the throat, muscle weakness and extreme fatigue, accompanied by fever, are often indicated, a homeopathic remedy such as Gelsemium is often prescribed. It should be taken every two hours. Recovery may occur on the same day.
In a more severe form of the disease, when a viscous yellow mucus forms in the ears and paranasal sinuses, at the same time as the Gelsemium medication, it is recommended to take a drug like Kalibich. These homeopathic remedies for colds should be taken with a difference of ten minutes.
With the development of dry and severe cough, which is aggravated at night, it is recommended to take a homeopathic remedy such as Bryonla. In this case, there will be no need to use antibiotics.
However, the doctor, based on the specific symptoms of the patient, can be prescribed other homeopathic medicines that will produce the maximum effect in each specific situation. A correctly selected medicine will help get rid of colds on the first day of their manifestation.
Hormonal drugs
What are the main causes of thyroid cysts, mastopathy, uterine fibroids, infertility, nodular goiter? The appearance of these pathologies occurs due to an imbalance in the hormonal background of the body.
The balance of hormones in women is confused by pregnancy and menstrual cycles, as well as breastfeeding. Pathology can cause stress and malnutrition. Some hormone-dependent diseases are also found in men. Only they arise much less often.
Ordinary doctors treat a specific organ. In this case, the cause of the pathology itself is not eliminated. A large number of hormonal pharmacological agents are prescribed that create even more disorders in the body.
How to regulate the work of all glands and organs? To do this, it is recommended to take homeopathic hormonal drugs. They will allow you to effectively and quickly get rid of pathology and will not cause any side effects. In the list of such funds are: Sepia and Lanchesis, Actea racemosa, Glonoin and many others. But it is worth remembering that a specific drug for the patient should be prescribed by a doctor. This will eliminate the existing problem as efficiently as possible.
Natural Remedies for Allergies
Today, a large number of people suffer from this pathology. Some of them feel the symptoms of the disease only in a certain period of the year, while in others the disease has already passed into the chronic stage.
Homeopathic remedies for allergies are treated based on the general principle of this area. He says that like is cured by like. The use of traditional medications is ineffective. They only relieve the main symptoms without bringing complete recovery. In contrast, homeopathic remedies:
- not addictive;
- allow the body to develop resistance to allergens;
- do not require a dose increase.
In the fight against allergies, the following homeopathic remedies can be recommended by a specialist:
- allium flail;
- ragweed ragweed;
- Apis of Mellifik;
- arum trifillum, etc.
Independent selection of funds is possible only in case of a slight manifestation of allergic reactions. In this case, the absence of a positive result will indicate that the choice of the drug was made incorrectly.
