Homeopathy Patient Medicine For Treatment

Introduction
  • Homeopathy is a system of alternative medicine
    created in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann, based on his
    doctrine of like cures like (similia similibus
    curentur), a claim that a substance that causes
    the symptoms of a disease in healthy people would
    cure similar symptoms in sick people.
  • Homeopathy is a pseudoscience a belief that is
    incorrectly presented as scientific.
  • Homeopathic preparations are not effective for
    treating any condition large-scale studies have
    found homeopathy to be no more effective than a
    placebo, indicating that any positive effects
    that follow treatment are only due to the placebo
    effect, normal recovery from illness, or
    regression toward the mean.

  • In the Organon, Hahnemann introduced the concept
    of "miasms" as "infectious principles" underlying
    chronic disease.
  • Hahnemann associated each miasm with specific
    diseases, and thought that initial exposure to
    miasms causes local symptoms, such as skin or
    venereal diseases.
  • If, however, these symptoms were suppressed by
    medication, the cause went deeper and began to
    manifest itself as diseases of the internal
    organs.
  • Homeopathy maintains that treating diseases by
    directly alleviating their symptoms, as is
    sometimes done in conventional medicine, is
    ineffective because all "disease can generally be
    traced to some latent, deep-seated, underlying
    chronic, or inherited tendency.
  • The underlying imputed miasm still remains, and
    deep-seated ailments can be corrected only by
    removing the deeper disturbance of the vital force
