Homeopathic Principles
This information is taken from an article by Sandra M. Chase, MD, DHt submitted to the American Institute for Homeopathy website. Please visit www.homeopathyusa.org for more information.
1. Like cures like. Each remedy has a specific "homeopathic picture" and each individual has his or her "homeopathic picture". The idea then is to use the remedy with the most similar or "like" picture as the individual's picture to treat ailments.
2. The minimum dose. In order to maximize potency and minimize side effects, homeopathic remedies are prepared in a series of dilutions beginning with crude product and ending with a minimum dose which has "no detectable chemical substance left" but has the "maximum therapeutic effect with the fewest side effects".
3. Single remedy. Only one remedy is given at a time. This way remedies do not disguise each other's effects. In other words, if you have a cold, a remedy for colds and their symptoms would be given to you for all symptoms of a cold. You wouldn't take one for fever, another for cough, another for congestion and so on. Only one remedy at a time.
Thanks for reading. Once again, please visit the American Institute of Homeopathy website: www.homeopathyusa.org, for more information on Homeopathic Practice as well as to find a practitioner near you.
To Your Health!
