Why Homeopathy?

  • Corrects the root cause: Homeopathy treats the whole person rather than just the physical symptoms, thereby correcting the root cause that has triggered your condition. For instance, if you’re having allergy due to weak immunity, or diabetes / thyroid due to genetic factors, or hair loss due to PCOS, homeopathy will correct the root cause.
  • Treats acute and chronic conditions without surgical intervention: A number of surgical conditions such as recurrent tonsillitis, piles, gall bladder stones, small-sized uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, warts and corns can be treated effectively with homeopathy.
  • Safe and no side-effects: Unlike conventional treatment that might come with a host of side-effects, homeopathic medicines are made from natural substances and hence, they do not cause any side-effects. They are safe for people of all age groups and can be taken for a long period of time.
  • Individualized medicine: There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ treatment in homeopathy. It customizes treatment for all individuals. The homeopathic doctor takes an in-depth review of your health status, temperament, personality, likes and dislikes. This will be used to guide the selection of homeopathic medicines for your condition.
  • Less recurrence: Homeopathy treatment reduces recurrence rate. It erases the root cause of the issue and eradicates it. Also, homeopathy is much cost- effective than allopathic drugs. And the results are esthetic.
  • Can be prescribed for pregnant women as well: While allopathic drugs can have possible side-effects on both mother and child, homeopathic remedies are safe and holistic in nature. They are ideal to address problems like nausea, anemia, backache, cramps, morning sickness, heartburn, diarrhea, blood pressure, emotional distress, etc., which usually occur during pregnancy. Also, since only tiny amounts of active ingredients are used, homeopathic medicines are safe for the growing baby as well.
  • Can be taken along with allopathy: In patients suffering from drug-dependant diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure, allopathic drugs cannot be suddenly withdrawn; hence, homeopathic medicines can be taken with allopathic medicines.

Myth & Fact

MYTH 1: HOMEOPATHY IS PLACEBO.

FACT 1: MANY PEOPLE THINK THAT IT HAS A PLACEBO EFFECT, THEN HOW PATIENTS RECOVER FROM DISEASED CONDITIONS, EVEN FROM CHRONIC AND INCURABLE DISEASES.

MYTH 2: HOMEOPATHY IS SLOW TO ACT

FACT 2: NOT REALLY BASICALLY, IT DEPENDS UPON THE 2 FACTORS: 1. TIME OF DISEASE 2. SEVERITY OF DISEASE HOMOEOPATHY IN ACUTE CASES LIKE-INFECTIVE DIARRHEA, FEVERS, URTICARIAL RASHES, IN ACUTE CONDITIONS OF ASTHMA ACTS VERY RAPIDLY AND ITS EFFECT LASTS FOR MUCH LONGER TIME AND THE DISEASE IS ERADICATED FROM ITS ROOTS. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, PEOPLE GO TO A HOMEOPATH AS A LAST OPTION AND THEN DISEASE WOULD HAVE BEEN PROGRESSED WITH TIME, AS SEVERITY OF DISEASE INCREASES WITH TIME. SO, THE KEY IS, SOONER YOU APPROACH A HOMOEOPATH, FASTER YOUR RESULTS WILL BE

MYTH 6: DIABETIC PATIENTS CANNOT TAKE HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES AS THEY ARE SWEET
