Homeopathy is a therapeutic method that is based on the principle that like cures like, as Hippocrates used to say. Symptoms are thought to occur as the body attempts to combat the pathogenic agent (e.g. virus, bacteria, etc). The homeopathic remedy essentially helps our body to intensify its defense by intensively producing its own symptoms. Healing, therefore, can be accelerated and achieved.<\/p>\n

The duration of the treatment varies from a few days in acute conditions for up to several years in chronic diseases. This depends on the chronicity and the nature of the disease as well as on the general state of a patient’s health.<\/p>\n

What are homeopathic remedies?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The homeopathic remedy is a plant, animal or mineral substance, which has been diluted and subjected to a series of vibrations.<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, homeopathic medicines have no side effects. Oftentimes, however, during the first month of the treatment, there is a possibility that the symptoms of the disease, for which the patient visited the homeopathic practitioner in the first place, intensify.\u00a0 The patient does not need to worry as the symptoms recede on their own without the doctor having to intervene.<\/p>\n
