last 200 years.

Second bit of information needed when applying the Law of Similars


Homeopathy Explained

The effect of applying the Law of Similars in medicine is to stimulate the body to react; no two similar substances can exist in the same

place.

When the correct homeopathic medicine is given the body will act

to correct the diseased state.


Homeopathy has been used successfully for the last 200 years

Law of nature as been written about for centuries

Late 1700’s that the Law of Similars was systematically applied in medicine

Samuel Hahnemann “Homeo” – Similar “Pathy” - Disease


How does homeopathy differ from conventional medicine?


Homeopathy attempts to stimulate the body to recover itself.

Let's look at an example: the common cough.


Homeopathy vs. Conventional

All Symptoms represent the body’s attempt to restore itself to health. When something is “wrong” it is the

body’s attempt to restore health. Conventional Medicine – stop the

cough with suppressants Homeopathy – give a homeopathic

medicine that will cause a cough in a healthy person.


Homeopathy vs. Conventional

Each cough is slightly different Conventional Medicine – treats all

coughs the same Homeopathy - look that the totality

of the symptoms.


Two Different Coughs

Cough 1: Worse when breathing cold air, and sounding like a deep bark

Cough 2: loose cough in the morning, dry in the evening and better when sitting up in bed

These are different illnesses and require different homeopathic medicines


A healthy person is a person who is free on all levels: physical, emotional, and mental.

Conventional medicine each system of the body is different Declared “healthy” because physical

exam is normal Homeopathy

Each system of the body provides clue towards the entire disease state

Homeopathy Summarized

It is important to remember that a medicine is homeopathic only if it is taken based upon the similar nature

of the medicine to the illness. A medicine labeled as "homeopathic" will work only if it is homeopathic to

the symptoms presented.
