I was recently asked a question - “How relevant is Homeopathy in modern times - after all it is a 200 year old system that has not undergone much change, nor undergoing “scientific” research like conventional medicine? Other natural therapies like Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda are undergoing “modernisation” and offer capsules instead of decoctions, etc, whereas Homeopathy has not changed all that much over the centuries - how useful can be it to the 21st century?”
A valid question. Here is my answer………
Homeopathy is extremely relevant today, perhaps more than it was 2 centuries ago. Not only that – it is an ideal vehicle for regaining and maintaining health in the 21st century, for the following reasons:
-
People today live with high levels of stress, emotional suppression, environmental pollution, sedentary lifestyles, poor diets and several other factors of modern life that constantly bombard the human organism on all levels – physical, mental, emotional. With its holistic approach of treating the person on all levels at the same time, and with one single remedy for all her problems, Homeopathy is primed to tackle the health issues of the modern world.
- Homeopathy is truly a 21st century medicine because instead of trying to find more viruses to kill, it focuses on strengthening the whole person so that his own defense mechanism is able to deal with any “virus” that attacks him.
- Homeopathy works on the basis of a true partnership between the homeopath and the patient. The focus is always on what the patient feels as a whole, not on just his diseases. Thus, it is a truly empowering medicinal system. (more…)

Hi there
These “words of wisdom” have been hanging on my wall for a long time. I do not remember where I got them, but want to share them with you today.
I asked for strength and God gave me difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for wisdom and God gave me problems to solve.
I asked for prosperity and God gave me brawn and brain to work.
I asked for courage and God gave me dangers to overcome.
I asked for patience God placed me in situations where I was forced to wait.
I asked for love and God gave me troubled people to help.
I asked for favours and God gave me opportunities.
I received nothing I wanted. I received everything I needed.
Think about it, if you started looking at life and all its upheavals in the spirit of the words above, how much better would your emotional health be. Would you get as stressed out about things as you do now?
Yours in health!

Today, I am taking a trip down memory lane. I am going to share with you why I got interested in natural healthcare & in women’s health. So, here we go…………….
I had very early onset of puberty – at just 10 years of age. From the beginning, I had very heavy clotted menses lasting 7-10 days each time, with cycles between 30-35 days. When it did not settle down (normally it should get regularised within a year or two), I consulted a gynaecologist who said that it would settle down when I got married.
In my mid-20’s, I decided to have a child, but had difficulty conceiving. Tests showed that I had a hormonal imbalance and “multiple follicular cysts” in both ovaries. I was diagnosed as having Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. The condition was not explained to me; nor was I taught how to manage this condition.

Homeopaths use the following criteria in evaluating healing:
v Significant, lasting improvement in physical symptoms
v Increased energy and sense of well-being
v Mental stability and clarity
v Emotional balance, and bringing out / removal of suppressed emotions
v Enhanced creativity and passion
v A sense of purpose or mission
Thus, it can be seen that Homeopathy has very high standards for healing. It is not enough to have one or two symptoms improve; all symptoms must be significantly better or at least progressing in the direction of cure.

Homeopathy is particularly suited to women’s conditions. It is a comprehensive system of alternative / complementary medicine that can meet the needs of women in all facets of their lives, and through all of life’s stages.
By strengthening the immune system, balancing emotions and re-aligning the mind-body-spirit connection, Homeopathy can help women feel at their very best, and achieve the higher purpose of their lives.
Compelling reasons for Women to choose Homeopathy for their total healthcare include -
» Homeopathy treats the whole woman, not just any one disease – this is especially useful since women’s ailments can manifest in so many different forms across so many body systems.
» Homeopathy treats all the symptoms at once - it takes into account the woman’s emotional, mental state and her lifestyle factors besides the physical symptoms to arrive at a single remedy that will treat her entire condition.
» Goes deep to treat the whole woman, thus providing mental and emotional healing as well
» Safe, natural, non-toxic and side-effect-free. Safe even for pregnant women.
» Produces long-lasting (even permanent) improvement in health.
» Excellent & Effective alternative to drugs and surgery

What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a system of alternative/complementary medicine, founded in the late 18th century by a German physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, homeopathy is based on the principle of ‘like cures like’, also known as the Law of Similars. In simple terms, this means that what a substance in crude form can cause, it can cure when made into a homeopathic remedy.
» For example, coffee is known to cause sleeplessness; on the other hand, when it is made into a homeopathic remedy, coffee provides an effective treatment for sleeplessness.
» Another example, a bee sting produces redness, swelling and burning, which feels better by cold applications; any skin condition with such symptoms can be treated by the homeopathic remedy made from the bee.
