Dear Friend,
Here's the last installment of our Everything Natural series. Let's talk about Homeopathy! IMPORTANT: If you are now taking any drugs, or have any medical problems, it’s wise to consult a nutritionally-oriented physician who is aware of herb-drug interactions, as well as any potentially dangerous side effects.
Homeopathy Basics:
The key to homeopathy is the "Law of Similars" or that like cures like, a principle often used in conventional medicine for allergy treatments.
Symptoms are signs that the body is trying to re-establish its own natural balance. Homeopathic treatment uses the same natural substances that cause certain symptoms if given to a healthy individual in large quantities to stimulate a sick person's body to get better if given in extremely tiny amounts.
Example: When you peel an onion, your eyes itch and water and you often get a runny nose,much like when you have a cold. Well, when you have a cold, the homeopathic remedy would be a much-diluted, minute dose of red onion to help the body heal itself.
Homeopathic remedies are prepared from natural plant, mineral, and animal substances. The fact that medically active substances in these medicines are diluted to such infinitely small amounts makes them nontoxic, with no known adverse side effects. They are safe for adults and children when taken as directed for self-limiting conditions, such as the flu, minor bruises, allergies, PMS, hot flashes, motion sickness, and the like.
The manufacture of homeopathic medicines is regulated in USA by FDA, which provides guidelines for their labeling and sale.
Getting things the natural way is always best but having more information about it is one step closer to a healthier body!
