Homeopathy For Women Today

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 21^st 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.  
• Homeopathy provides solutions without any long-term complications. Thus it is more relevant today, since conventional medicine has been shown to produce many side-effects and long-term complications.
•  Homeopathy is extremely easy to administer and to use. In today’s world, when people are already pressed for time, this is a distinct advantage. 
• Medical costs are skyrocketing all over the world. Homeopathy offers extremely affordable and cost-effective solutions for modern society.
• The world today lives on fear of all kinds of viruses, pandemics are on the rise, and conventional medicine is not able to offer a cure in many diseases. As Homeopathy is not concerned with particular diseases, but the patient as a whole, it can offer effective solutions.
