Homeopathic Medicine

          Medicine, its what we use when we’re sick, deppressed, have allergies, or some other medical condition. Ordinarily, most people would take the over-the-counter type of medicine. That would make sense since, most of the time, that type of medicine is effective when dealing with viruses, rashes, headaches, etc. However, over-the-counter medicine always claims to have side effects, such as drowsiness, stomach problems, or sometimes even death if not used properly. Although some people think medicine is the best way to treat an illness, homeopathic remedies are more reassuring than regular medicine because they are holistic, completely safe, and very natrual.

           One may be wondering what holistic means, right? Well holistic means, an alternative treatment system that focuses on the whole person rather than on specific diseases or disorders, and considers physical, emotional, social, environmental and spiritual factors. In short it treats everything that is the problem instead of just the symptoms, as most medicines do. Take, for example, a cold medicine; the symptoms of a cold are a runny nose, a burning feeling in the nose or throat, sneezing, and the feeling of being very tired. Medicine for a cold might get rid of the runny nose and the burning feeling, but it might not always get rid of the tiredness or the feeling of being unwell, and most of the time it doesn’t completely get rid of the bacteria. With a homeopathic remedy, the bacteria itself is targeted and taken care of, reassuring the patient that the symptoms will not return, for the cause of the problem is no longer in existence. Also, with regular medicine, it takes a while for the effects of the drug to begin to show, and if not taken properly, the dose could end in a bad result.

            Overdosing could put the patient into a coma, affect the lungs or other inner organs, or even cause death; under dosing doesn’t even help solve the illness, let alone get rid of the symptoms. Homeopathics work effectively, and don’t take as long to show progress as regular medicine does. The homeopathic medicine is powerful, so one would only have to take a little at a time instead of accidently overdosing and making the problems worse. Over-the-counter medicine can be dangerous exactly for the same reason of overdosing, so safety and precaution, while taking either homeopathic or over-the-counter medicine, is very important.

             Safety is important when it comes to medical solutions. Improper use of medical drugs can result in seizures, drowsiness, dizziness, delusions, or even an addiction. Addictions to medical drugs can sometimes be worse than addictions to street drugs. This can result in drug abuse and death by overdose. However, homeopathies are not addictive. The patient would take them in tiny portions with large quantities of water, and once they begin to feel relief from the illness, they can stop taking them. Homeopathy medicine has no side effects because all the ingrediants are natrual. Meaning that even pregnant women and babies can take these remedies to cure their illnesses.

               Having all natrual ingredients is not only good for the earth, but good for the bady as well. There would be less pollution doe to medical process because there would be no use for factories to make the medicine. Plus it would be better for the body because, there would be no chemicals and just all natrual ingredients that would be flowing through your body. Doctors will usally prefer one to use the over-the-counter medicine, but there are certain homeopathic doctors that will make sure that one should take homeopathic medicine, because they know that natrual is better than man made. People often wonder why they should take natrual medicine at a higher price when they can take over-the-counter medicine for a lower price. There is a reason why they should; (abchomeopathy.com on their home site) states that “Homeopathy is the second most widely used system of medicine in the world. Its growth in popularity in the United States has been around 25 to 50 percent a year throughout the last decade. This success is fueled by several factors: Homeopathy is extremely effective. When the correct remedy is taken, results can be rapid, complete and permanent. Homeopathic remedies can also be taken alongside other medication without producing unwanted side effects. Homeopathy is natural. Homeopathic remedies are normally based on natural ingredients. Homeopathy works in harmony with your immune system, unlike some conventional medicines which suppress the immune system. (For example, cough medicines suppress the cough reflex, which is your body’s attempt to clear the lungs).  If no relief is felt, you are probably taking the wrong homeopathic remedy.” Thus saying that homepathic medicine is very natrual, but every silver lining has a cloud.

                True we see why people dont think homeopathic medicine is the right way to go, again (abchomeopathy.com) states on their main site: “Prescribing the right homeopathic remedy takes a little more time and patience than conventional medicine. Exactly the right remedy needs to be taken for your symptoms. There is no such thing as a standard homeopathic headache remedy (though, sadly that doesn’t mean no such product is sold…).
The remedy you take has to be matched to your particular headache – where it occurs, what brings it on, what type of pain it is, what aggravates it, what makes it feel worse, your state of mind and what other symptoms you experience. The sheer range of remedies in use can cause practical problems for an average sized pharmacy. If the right remedy is not one of 30 or so commonly used remedies, they can be difficult to obtain.” But the fact is that homeopathic medicine deals with the cause of the symptoms and not simply the cover up of the symptom such as an allopathic remedy of prescribing simply a pain pill for an injury. Homeopathic medicine deals with the healing of the source of disease or injury, rather than simply the affects stated above. Also the preventive medicine aspect of the homeopathic or naturopathic medicine deals with reinforcing the health and nutrition of the entire body so that it doesnt become infected or diseased and has a better resistence. After a healthy dose of research, it has come to my own personal attention that homeopathic medicine is holistic, completely safe, and very natrual, thus extending its roots to the world and living up to everyone’s expectations, becoming the world’s future medicine.
