What is homeopathy and what is its general basis?
Homeopathy is a therapeutic system that seeks to match the symptoms of the patient to those of his or her illness. Because of this homeopathy lays great stress on getting a full description of the patient’s illness and emphasizes having a detailed knowledge of the symptoms produced by each homeopathic remedy. Treatment is individualized according to the patient and there is not a single medicine for all cases of a disease.
Homeopathy is based on three therapeutic principles. The first of these principles is the law of similars. Homeopathy uses the inner power within an individual for healing by giving a medicine which causes symptoms similar to those the patient is already experiencing. When the body’s inner vital force acts to neutralize the action of the medicine, it also eliminates the symptoms of the illness that are similar to it. In addition, because the medicine acts in concert with the body’s vital force instead of trying to overwhelm it, treatment is safer and the cure gentler than when one treats by the law of contraries.
The second therapeutic principle of homeopathy is the use of a single medicine. Every illness is the result of a struggle between the disease agent and the body’s inner vital force. This struggle expresses itself as the symptoms that the patient experiences. Because the body only possesses a single unitary vital force, there is no such thing as a disease localized in a single part of the body. When a patient is ill, the whole person is ill and all the symptoms the patient experiences are a part of that illness, no matter how unrelated they may seem to the patient’s chief complaint. For this reason, one prescribes the single medicine that best matches all of the patient’s complaints.
The third therapeutic principle is the minimum dose. When one prescribes according to the law of similars only a very small dose is needed because the medicine is only acting as a catalyst to the body’s own healing power. In fact, experience has taught homeopathic practitioners that in most circumstances the smaller the dose, the more powerful it is. This idea finds an analogue in some systems of Oriental martial arts such as T’ai Chi, where it is said that the skilled practitioner deflects the blow of a hundred pounds with a single ounce.
