What Can Homeopathy Cure:

Homeopathy is believed and has been proved to cure even cancer but is mostly utilized for treating chronic illnesses. However, one needs to remember that homeopathy cannot magically cure everything, no medicine can cure everything, including traditional medicines. Overtime, homeopathy can help alleviate several diseases, both physiological and psychological because the science focuses on the body as a complete and connected system.

Benefits of Homeopathic Treatment:

1. Reduce Anxiety & Depression:

The conventional medical practice for mental healthcare includes prescribing pacifying medicines to people who suffer from anxiety and depression. These medicines not only inhibit a person’s ability to emote, they also create a certain psychological dependence and addiction on an external source for being functional. Homeopathy on the other hand understands that the symptoms of any illness are indications that the body is either fighting or adapting to that illness, which means that it does not need medicines to suppress symptoms but assistance in fighting off or adapting to the illness. Homeopathy, focuses on healing the patient, however, if a person suffers from violent episodes, even the practitioner would insist that the individual also seek the help of a psychiatrist.

2. Treat Allergies & Asthma:

Asthma is a chronic disease which results in the inflammation of the air tracts causing chest pain, breathlessness or shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing. Asthma can be developed at any age but is generally found in younger children, it can also be triggered by anything like genetics, allergens, irritants, premature birth, cough or cold, changing season and so on. Traditional medicine prescribes the long term use and dependency on inhalers which ease the inflammation of the air tracts. Homeopathy, on the other hand, focuses on the cause behind the development of asthma in every patient and prescribes long term medicines around it. The long term use of these medicines, lead to the patient being completely cured of Asthma with the last few months or years being riddled with random outbursts of eczema for people who are more susceptible to allergies.

3. Treats Chronic Diseases:

Acute diseases are short termed, however, they may have chronic roots. Mental or emotional trauma generally are root causes of most chronic diseases, apart from psychological trauma certain unhealed or ill treated physical injuries, sensitivity to particular elements in the environment can cause chronic illnesses. Repetitive or chronic illnesses dilute a person’s quality of life, while traditional medicine focuses on suppressing the symptoms of the chronic illness, it mostly doesn’t focus on the possible impact of seemingly unrelated health issues causing these chronic illnesses. Homeopathy on the other hand deep dives into a person’s past and present health issues to understand the relationship between past traumas and present symptoms. Medicines are prescribed according to the unique chronic illness root of the patient. Although it must be noted, that while homeopathy has a great response rate for the treatment of chronic illness, homeopathy cannot guarantee completely curing some kinds of chronic illnesses and may refer a patient to seek help from allopathy too.

4. Homeopathy for Weight Loss:

Obesity is a problem which has recently taken deep roots in India. Homeopathy claims to help people lose weight effectively but unlike the fitness centres and weight loss pills which have the same approach to every person, homeopathy takes into account the fat zones in a person’s body, along with their dietary preferences, digestive process and emotional stability before providing medicines which can help them lose weight.

5. Improves Body Resistance & Immunity:

Since homeopathy functions on the principle of similar, its approach to improving a body’s immunity is to identify elements, which when come in contact with the body in large quantities cause the body to react strongly and display symptoms of distress. A homeopathy practitioner then, prescribes medicines, which release the same elements in trace amounts inside the body at regular interval, allowing the body to build disease fighting antibodies, which then improves the body’s tolerance towards the disease.

6. Use in Epidemic Diseases:

Today we rarely hear about widely spreading pandemic diseases like Cholera (the last being the Ebola virus), however this does not mean that we don’t suffer from them. Homeopathy is a safe option to opt for epidemic diseases like viral fever, flu, and chickenpox among others.

7. Surgery Avoidance & Cost Effective:

Homeopathy is cost effective, natural and safe. Homeopaths also believe that given the correct medicine, homeopathy can help cure cysts in the uterus and ovaries, appendicitis, tonsils, sinusitis, piles, other benign tumors, kidney stones among other diseases barring even sending a patient to the operation theatre. Homeopathy can also play an instrumental role in helping a body heal from operations. Please note that even homeopaths agree that under certain extreme circumstances operation is the only option available, in fact homeopathy works best if administered when symptoms first start showing.
