Homeopathy and homeopathic medicines

Homeopathy and homeopathic medicines are forms of alternative medicine, becoming a more and more popular forms of treatment. Homeopathic medicines are prescribed to treat the medical condition of the patient but to suit the mental and physical attributes of the patient as well. Through natural remedies, homeopathy seeks to cure the patient medically, at the same time treating the whole of the patient, body and mind.

The word "homeopathy" comes from the Greek words "homeo" and "pathos", meaning "similar" and "suffering". Samuel Hahnemann coined the word, 200 years ago and since then homeopathy has been maligned, and vilified, and homeopaths have been charged as liars and frauds. All this in spite of 200 years of therapeutic successes.

Homeopathy is designed on a distinct set of principles that recognize an innate healing capacity which all people have. It is this energy that promotes, protects, and initiates our defensive mechanisms in response to adverse conditions. It then controls and guides the natural healing process. Homeopathic medicines are used to treat patients for this energy which homeopathy calls the "vital force". Without this vital force, there is no sensation, no function, no self-preservation, no life. It is the vital force that is the agent of cure.
