What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine that uses natural ingredients from plants, minerals or animals in very small doses to encourage the body to rebalance itself using its own mechanisms. Ingredients are selected based on their ability to reproduce the person’s symptoms.

Since symptoms are actually the body’s attempt to regain balance and control, Homeopathic remedies are formulated to stimulate these symptoms. This reinforces the body’s natural defenses against a particular ailment and ultimately returns the body to a state of equilibrium.

Is it possible to use Homeopathic medicines and conventional drugs at the same time?

It is possible, but homeopathic remedies often provide quick and lasting relief, such that conventional drugs are not needed. Additionally, some conventional medicines are so strong that they inhibit the action of homeopathic remedies. As always, consult your doctor before making new health choices.
