Homeopathy is a safe, gentle, and natural system of therapeutics. It was developed in the early nineteenth century by Dr. Sameul Hahnemann in Germany. Dr. Hahnemann named the medicine for its primary principle, “like treats like,” using Greek root words, Homoios translating to similar, and Pathos, which translates to suffering. Homeopathic Medicine spread throughout Europe and the United States very rapidly due to the effectiveness of the medicine. By the turn of the 20th century, three of the four American medical schools with the most extensive libraries were Homeopathic Colleges according to the US Commission on Education.
Homeopathic Medicine embraces a holistic, natural approach to the treatment of disease that prompts the patient’s immune system to heal the body. Taking a closer look at “Like treats Like” this could be demonstrated by encouraging a patient with Kidney Disease to eat kidneys from a calf or lamb. It could also be the use of a nosode, which is a very dilute remedy prepared using a sample fluid, tissue, or discharge from the afflicted patient. A drop of the sample would be added to purified water succussed and diluted multiple times. Giving the patient the nosode remedy would help guide the immune system on how to defeat the infection, virus, or disease.
AcuMed uses many different Homeopathic Medicines to stimulate patients’ immune systems. The patients’ chief complaints range from low back pain, neuropathy, lung nodules, colds and flu, to facial rejuvenation.
Homeopathy is safe. Unlike other forms of medicine, homeopathic remedies are extremely low-dose, making them effectively non-toxic and virtually harmless. All of the homeopathic medicines used by AcuMed have been on the market for at least 10 years and have no reported adverse effects. Of course, there is always the potential for one to happen with any medicine. Patients with a history of allergic reactions to conventional medicine or who are prone to experiencing pharmaceutical side effects tend to tolerate homeopathic remedies very well.
Homeopathic medicines are natural, prepared from minute amounts of herbs, minerals, and animal products. Their quality and safety are assured by the national medicine agencies based on European Union legislation and European Pharmacopoeia requirements. They are suitable for pregnant women, infants, and children under monitored and appropriate circumstances.
