Although homeopathy is a centuries-old practice, it has recently gained popularity. It’s currently being used by over 200 million people globally to treat chronic and acute conditions. At Chemique Pharmaceuticals, Inc., in Whittier, CA, we are available for homeopathic medicine consultations to help you understand your conditions, medications, and therapies that can help improve your overall well-being. Here is what homeopathy is and the benefits of homeopathic medicine you need to know.
What Is Homeopathy?
The basic theory of homeopathy is that a substance that triggers a condition can still be used to treat that illness. Homeopathic products come from plants like arnica (mountain herb), red onions, poison ivy, stinging nettle, belladonna (deadly nightshade), minerals like white arsenic, and animals such as crushed whole bees.
Homeopathic doctors, also called homeopaths, weaken or dilute an ingredient by adding alcohol or water. The product is then shaken to activate its properties. Homeopathic products are made in products like sugar pellets to be placed under your tongue. They can also be in other forms like tablets, creams, drops, gels, and ointments. Our practitioners use homeopathy medicine to treat conditions like:
- Asthma
- Arthritis
- Migraines
- Ear infections
- Premenstrual syndrome
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Allergies like dermatitis and food allergies
- Mental conditions like anxiety, stress, and depression
Homeopathy also helps treat minor issues like scrapes, bruises, headaches, coughs, colds, and nausea. During your appointment, we ask several questions about your physical, emotional, and mental health. We prescribe the remedy that best fits your symptoms.
Benefits of Homeopathic Medicine
Here are some reasons why you should feel safe using homeopathy.
Natural
Homeopathic medicines are made from natural resources like minerals, animals, and plants. So, they’re gentle on your body and help strengthen your natural defense mechanism.
Little Side Effects
Homeopathic remedies are generally safe. They also offer a long-lasting cure by treating the illness from its roots. The risk of severe side effects arising from consuming these remedies is minimal.
Affordability
Homeopathic remedies are mostly affordable compared to conventional pharmacological therapy. You can depend on them for cheap, quick, and long-lasting relief in case of daily medical conditions like coughs, bruises, mild fever, insect bites, etc.
Eco-Friendly
Homeopathy doesn’t exhaust natural resources. It has a minimal environmental impact.
Is There Evidence for Homeopathy?
People seek homeopathy to help them treat long-term conditions like depression, anxiety, asthma, dermatitis, and ear infections. For example, Betula 30c can help alleviate symptoms in people with birch pollen allergies. On the other hand, Sinusitis patients can take the remedy Sinfrontal to help reduce experienced symptoms.
