Throat treatment

Homeopathy for sore throat

Every year more and more people use homeopathic remedies in their treatment. The German physician Samuel Geneman became the father of the new teaching in 1796. Homeopathy (illness, suffering) is a soft medicine based on two principles: like cures like. That is, while taking a homeopathic remedy, a person develops symptoms similar to the manifestations of the disease. The second principle is to use micro-doses of a substance so that it has a therapeutic effect. There is no unequivocal attitude towards this science, especially among doctors. Some consider it quack, others - a panacea. How are things in reality?

The influence of homeopathic remedies on the body

According to numerous trials, homeopathy does work.

Double-blind studies were conducted in which neither the specialist nor the patient knew that the latter was taking. This is done to eliminate the placebo effect. The result of the treatment was positive. In addition, the experiments involved pets that do not respond to either suggestion or self-hypnosis regarding the drugs they are taking. And in this case, homeopathy worked.

Some experts prescribe homeopathic remedies even for babies.

The main differences between traditional medicine and homeopathy:

  • traditional medicine treats the disease, soft medicine treats the patient;
  • a homeopathic specialist interrogates the patient in detail for two to three hours, finding out not only the complaints and symptoms of the disease, but also the character of the person, his lifestyle, habits. This is the only way to understand the nature of the disease and choose the right treatment;
  • traditional medicines not only eliminate the symptoms, but also affect the entire organ, the entire system and even the entire body, causing a lot of side effects, which then also have to be treated. Sometimes, the treatment for side effects takes longer and is more expensive than treating the underlying condition. Homeopathic remedies do not violate the functionality of organs and systems. They act softly, delicately, therefore, they are safe for health. These preparations do not contain aggressive chemicals, but only natural ones. They work at the energy-informational level, and not at the physical one.

Homeopathy differs from herbal medicine in the concentration of the main substance in the preparation and in the principles of prescription
