Naturopathic is a broad umbrella term for many natural healing therapeutics, such as acupuncture, botanical medicine, hyrdrotherapy, herbal medicine and nutrition.homeopathy looks at and treats the whole person and has a clearly defined goal of greater health. Health is an increase in freedom, creativity and being able to express yourself better

Homeopathy

1. A Homeopath uses homeopathic medicine as the primary treatment for illness.homeopathy is a complete medicine � it can treat a wide variety of conditions from nosebleeds, skin conditions, stiff neck muscles, digestive problems and chronic pain to depression
2. Homeopathic medicine is different from herbal medicines or mineral supplements.Homeopathic medicines are made from very small quantities of plant, mineral or animal substances
3. Homeopathic medicines are non-toxic and safe for babies and during pregnancy
4. Full treatment homeopathy looks for one medicine to treat all of the patients� problems. If you have headaches, constipation, chronic sinusitis, joint pain, depression and eczema, one homeopathic remedy will be prescribed to treat all of these problems. The medicine can cost as little as $7 for 1 year of therapy

Naturopathy

1. A Naturopath has some knowledge about a lot of natural therapies. Many of the therapies that a naturopath has a general understanding of (e.g. Western Herbalism, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Nutrition, Acupuncture and homeopathy) can also be studied exclusively as specialties for up to 4 years each. To become a specialist in each of the therapies listed above would require 15-20 years of training and an equal number of years in practical experience. Naturopaths generally focus on Western herbalism or botanical medicine
2. Naturopathic medicine depends on the therapy the naturopath chooses � most often this includes herbal medicine, botanical medicine and supplements (vitamins, minerals, enzymes �)
3. Herbal medicines, vitamins, minerals and enzymes are not always safe for children or during pregnancy. Dosages and quantities need to be closely monitored by a professional
4. Western herbalism is similar to Western medicine � you get one or more medicines for each problem you have. Western herbalism substitutes medicines listed above for pharmaceutical drugs. For instance, if you have liver problems you may be given Milk Thistle, if you have joint pain you might get Glucosamine Sulfate, if you have headaches you may get White Willow Bark. With this approach costs escalate with the number of health problems that need to be treated. Each bottle costs an average of $20 per month

29. Why Homeopathy is the best for psychosomatic problems ?

The disorders that have a physiological condition but are originated in the emotional state of an individual are termed psychosomatic ( Psyche means mind, Soma means body ). The psychosomatic conditons are also referred as psycho-physiologic disorders. This term applies to a large number of disorders of organs innervated by the autonomic nervous system in which emotional factors are primary contributing factor. The nervous system regulates and coordinates body's activities and brings proper responses by which the body adjusts to changes of either external environment or internal environment. The autonomic nervous system which controls body functions involuntarily divides in to sympathetic and parasympathetic system. Conditions like anxiety, fear stimulate sympathetic nerve fibers and produces vasoconstriction in the part supplied like general rise in blood pressure, acceleration of the heart rate, depression of gastrointestinal activity. Some effects of parasympathetic stimulation are constriction of bronchioles like in asthma, contraction of smooth muscles of alimentary canal (produce griping pain in stomach), slowing of heart rate, and increased secretion by gland like salivary, gastric glands. Repeated episodes of these anxiety conditions produce disorders in those organs. Symptoms can be healed smoothly without side effects by addressing mental anxiety and physical problem together. homeopathy remedies act at the level of mind and body together to eradicate the problem as a whole

examples of psychosomatic disorders: Migraine, asthma, acidity, peptic ulcer, allergy. Most of the times, some of the following mental conditions are the cause for these problems: such as excessive anxiety, irritability, insecurity, obsessive traits, undue jealousy, suspicion ( paranoid fears ), depression, neurosis etc...

By relieving these emotions, homeopathic remedies bring harmonious state of health. homeopathy is for the person as a whole, not for disease

Yes. Allergy is an acquired hyper sensitivity to a substance (allergen) that does not normally cause a reaction. It is essentially a disorder of immune system resulting antibody-antigen reaction. But, in some cases there may be a genetic predisposition to acquisition of particular allergy, where we can't find any antibody.

Allergic conditions include:

Eczema, allergic rhinitis or coryza, hay fever, bronchial asthma

Symptoms like eosinophilia, nasal congestion, tearing, sneezing, wheezing, coughing, itching rash, eruptions

Etiology: pollen, dust, hair, fur, feathers, scabies, wool, chemicals, drugs, insect bites and specific foods such as eggs, chocolate, milk, wheat, tomatoes, citrus fruits, oat-meal, potatoes.

20th century syndrome: They develop symptoms like allergic to every thing in the environment. This is most probably due to acute or chronic emotional stress. The individuals may isolate themselves from environmental materials.

Allergic conditions could be genetic or might have been developed later on due to a specific cause. homeopathy improves multiple symptoms of allergic condition with a single remedy

32. How can it help in surgical conditions ?

homeopathy address the cause of the problem. It also reduces the reoccurrence of the problem by removing the nature to develop that condition like piles, fissures, fistula, appendicitis (except gangrenous), chronic ear discharge, vocal cord nodules, polyp in nose-ear, kidney and gall bladder stones, small size uterine fibroid, ovarian cysts, warts, corns etc.

Problems often reappear as described below:

After surgery they appear in the same place, e.g.: recurrent kidney stones after repeated surgeries.

After surgery they develop in different location e.g.: caries tooth. Infection of another teeth after removal of badly infected teeth in same side or opposite side. This chain may end up the individual with artificial dentures.

Piles are nothing but swollen pyloric veins. The real problem may be pressure on veins from constipation, congested liver or heart problem. Until the root cause is removed, they appear again and again even after they are operated. Homeopathic remedies give strength to muscles and ligaments to hold uterus in proper place save the uterus from removal in case of uterine prolepses.

The pathological changes are nothing but end products of disease. Just removal is not the solution for many conditions. homeopathy remedies some time helps to avoid surgery, they also remove the tendency to develop the problem again

Top
33. Why to individualize people in Homeopathy ?

Individualization means individualize each person with similar problems. It's not uncommon to see the doctors not paying any attention to individual's narration of symptoms except worrying about the test results. The whole person is a united system of multiple organs which interact with each other. The trouble in one place reflects in many organs. Homeopaths find single remedy that is suitable for all the symptoms to avoid many drugs for multiple symptoms. So there is no chance of interaction between remedies as only single remedy will be used in homeopathy. No need to run from one specialist to other specialist. Medicinal side effects results in so many complications, If treated each symptom separately. Briefly homeopaths individualize a case to find single remedy which covers all the symptoms and heals as fast as it can be without side effects

Some examples in individualizing are follows:

Take two cases of hay fever, one having headache with fever, other having runny nose with itchy eyes.

Take two people suffering from asthma, one may get his attack in winter, other in summer.

One individual suffering from diabetes may loves sweets, other may hate them.

With fever some people have heat all over the body, for some people, only head is hot and other parts cold.

In menorrhagia, one has bleeding only in day time, other have only in night.

some people suffer more in the morning , for others night is worse

All these differences in signs and symptoms show underlying pathology and cause. Just by observing this we can know lot about the individual's condition without diagnostic tests. If bacteria is the only cause for disease why similar streptococcus bacteria effects different organs in each person like throat, heart, joints resulting in strep throat, rheumatic heart disease, rheumatic arthritis. These symptoms show the weak points of body and underlying pathology. This shows the individuality of the people. When body is crying out clearly in the form of signs and symptoms, why to neglect them and pay more attention to just test results? Homeopathic remedies establish the harmony in the system and makes the person healthier contrary to the other systems

Top
36. What should i be aware of when taking homeopathic medication ?

Homeopathic preparations are extremely safe to take because of their highly diluted form. Nonetheless, frequent repetition of a dose without the advice of a professional is not recommended. Remedies should not be taken together with food because this might interfere with their absorption. Take them at least 30 minutes before or after eating or drinking and let them dissolve in the mouth. Your homeopath will give you more specific instructions if necessary

Sometimes an initial worsening of your symptoms can occur. This initial aggravation is usually a good sign and signifies that your body is responding to the remedy. Although the physical symptoms might get worse for a short period of time, you as a whole will start to feel better almost immediately. The aggravation will subside quickly, followed by the recovery

Top
37. What are the physical, mental and emotional aspects of homeopathy ?

homeopathy is based on the philosophy that the body, mind and emotions are not really separate and distinct, but are actually fully integrated. Based on this perspective, a homeopath seeks a remedy that fits all of a patient�s physical and psychological symptoms. Although some people�s symptoms may be complex, a well-trained homeopath will know which symptoms should be specially noted, and can choose an effective, individualized remedy

Prolonged emotional stress can cause physical problems, like upset stomach, difficulty in digesting foods, poor nutrient assimilation, weaker immune system, sleeplessness, etc. The opposite is also true. Illness and physical problems can result in anxiety or emotional uneasiness. Therefore, it is important for a homeopath to conduct an in-depth interview of a patient to ensure a proper, all encompassing remedy

Top
38. What are the three levels of homeopathic therapy ?

Level 1: First Aid
Homeopathy can be used in first aid to safely treat common ailments and occurrences, such as sprains and bruises, minor burns, skin irritations and reactions (including poison ivy, diaper rash and insect bites), teething pain, etc.

Level 2: Acute Homeopathy
Acute health problems are those in which the symptoms will eventually go away on their own. They are temporary conditions, such as colds, flu, coughs, sprains, etc. A homeopathic remedy can be useful and attractive because it is safe, gentle and has no harmful side effects. homeopathy can also be used to assist sensitive conditions such as pregnancy

Level 3: Constitutional Homeopathy
Constitutional homeopathy refers to the treatment of a person as a whole, including past and present symptoms. When accurately implemented, homeopathic constitutional care can elicit a profound healing response. homeopathy can be extremely effective in treating chronic and long-term health problems. Recurrent ear infections, for example, can be treated with a homeopathic remedy for a longer period of time to strengthen the body�s immune system and to prevent future occurrences

Top
39. Can such small doses be effective ?

Homeopathic remedies are indeed very small doses. However, they are specially prepared doses which undergo a specific process � including dilution of ingredients (called potentization), as well as a vigorous shaking (succussion).

Specially formulated homeopathic remedies are thought to resonate with the body, triggering a positive healing response. This response gently, and effectively, heals from the inside out.

The documented results from thousands of experienced homeopaths, and from millions of their patients, clearly show that these small, individualized doses produce profound health benefits
