Is Homeopathy always a slow-acting medicine that I will have to take for the rest of my life? 

This is not true!

Homeopathy can give quick effective results within 5 to 10 minutes in severe cases of gallstones, and renal and abdominal colic. It can bring down your temperature in just 10 minutes in case of high fever and works effectively for chronic conditions such as arthritis, skin allergies, or asthma which have affected the patient for 15 or 20 years. The remedy will need to be given for six months to a year to treat the problem effectively. 

Why does a patient interview for homeopathic treatment take so long?

The homeopath does not focus on the disease but rather on raising your immune response. To do this, they need to get to know their entire being: physical, intellectual, emotional as well as subconscious. Assessing all these together help in the selection of the medicine. The extensive case-taking you participate in helps us to put all these aspects together. 

What is the principle of Homeopathy? 

There are two ways of treating the sick individual. One is by the law of opposites and the other is by the law of similars. Homeopathy works on the law of similars. Simply put, this means that a medicine, which can produce sleeplessness in a healthy individual can cure the complaint of sleeplessness in a sick individual. And a medicine that can produce diarrhea in a healthy individual can cure a person suffering from diarrhea. Taking the medicine stimulates and enhances the body’s own mechanism to fight the disease. It corrects the body’s immunity, which in turn fights the disease.
