Classical Homeopathy conducted via telemedicine

Homeopathy is a system of natural medicine used by millions of people worldwide for more than 200 years to achieve wellness. Homeopathy is based on the Principle of SImilars first formulated as a result of experimentation 200 years ago by Dr. Christian Samual Hahnemann. This Principle states that a substance that can cause symptoms in a sensitive to it healthy person can treat a similar set of symptoms in a sick person. It is stated as “Like cures the like” . Come to think about it, the principle of vaccination could be stated as “Like prevents the like”. Except that vaccination utilizes the same substance for everyone, while homeopathy uses a highly individualized approach based on the process called “Proving” (from German Prufung meaning” test, assessment, examination”).

Proving was introduced by Hahnemann as a method of discovering healing properties of different substances. During this process healthy sensitive volunteers are asked to describe all and any symptoms they develop after receiving a few doses of homeopathically prepared substances. Symptoms are collated according to strict protocol and are summarized in Materia Medica – a detailed compendium of homeopathic remedies. A modern homeopath uses sophisticated computer programs to find a close match between the picture of the remedy with the picture of symptoms in a sick individual.

Homeopathy has been criticised for using infinitesimal (disappearing small) concentrations. Conventional medicine pronounced homeopathy as “pseudoscientific”. But the important step of homeopathic dilutions called potentization (serial dilutions with vigorous shaking) according to research, makes those dilutions biologically active.
