For over 200 years since it was “discovered” by Dr Hahnemann, Homeopathy has received many negative comments specifically about the fact that homeopathic remedies are diluted beyond comprehensible levels, that they contain (in most cases) no biologically active ingredient, that till today we do not know how Homeopathy works, why it works.
Knowing that I am a homeopathic practitioner now (an educated one at that - in my previous career I was a Certifed Public Accountant for 15 years), people ask me how can you believe in a system that has no ”scientific”basis .
My answer is “the proof is in the eating” - you will only ever know if something works when you try it for yourself or someone close to you or someone you trust has tried it.
Homeopathy does not directly treat your illnesses. When you use Homeopathic remedies, you are improving what homeopaths call your “Vital Force” - your life energy, your defence mechanism, your immunity. Your now stronger Vital Force manages your illnesses and restores health.
When Homeopathy FAILS, it can be due to several reasons -
- The client did not provide true and full information, especially about his/her emotional and mental symptoms - this can be due to embarrassment, fear of being judged, or because (s)he did not realise that the symptom may be important
- Lack of skill of the homeopath in eliciting the required information
- Lack of skill of the homeopath in correctly identifying the client’s driving forces and the under-currents of the case i.e.what needs to healed
- Lack of objectivity on the part of the Homeopath
- Poor skill of the homeopath in finding the ”remedy of best fit” for the client
- Client did not take the prescribed remedies properly
- Remedies were stored in improper conditons thus nullifying their effect
- While on homeopathic treatment, client continued to drink black coffee (which is known to antidote homeopathic remedies)
- Client felt that the progress was too slow and abandoned homeopathy
- Client is not truly ready to let go of the illness - crazy as it sounds, there are people who want to hold on to their illness - could be in order to get attention, or they are so used to their sickness that they do not see any other way of living, or they do not believe in their own recovery, etc
- Client had the wrong expectations of homeopathy. While homeopathy can go a long way to help you manage your illnesses, it cannot compensate for improper lifestyle, poor nutrition, lack of exercise, and so on. For example, a client suffering from bronchitis who continues to smoke is not going to get much result from homeopathic remedies if he does not quit smoking.
While no Homeopath can help every client, Homeopathy can certainly help with most health conditions. It is sad that people attack Homeopathy without really understanding it or trying it, and in the process miss out on all its benefits.
So.. I wish you all a safe and gentle journey back to health with Homeopathy!!
