What is Homeopathy?
This is just a sample from our e-book.
Homeopathy ("home-ee-AH-pah-thy"), also known as homeopathic medicine
is a whole medical system that originated in Europe.
Homeopathy seeks to stimulate the body's ability to heal itself by
giving very small doses of highly diluted substances that in larger doses would produce illness or symptoms
(an approach called "like cures like") is a form of health care that developed in Germany that is
also practiced in the United States and has been since the early 19th century.
Homeopathic practitioners are commonly called
homeopaths.
This fact sheet answers some frequently asked questions on homeopathy
and reviews scientific research on its use and effectiveness.
Key Points
In homeopathy, a key premise is that every person has energy called a
vital force or self-healing response. When this energy is disrupted or imbalanced, health problems develop.
Homeopathy aims to stimulate the body's own healing responses.
Various explanations have been proposed as to how homeopathy might
work. However, none of these explanations has been scientifically verified.
Research studies on homeopathy have been contradictory in their
findings. Some analyses have concluded that there is no strong evidence supporting homeopathy as effective
for any clinical condition. However, others have found positive effects from homeopathy. The positive effects
are not readily explained in scientific terms..........................end of sample
