   HOMEOPATHY INFO


Homeopathy has a long history and is well established in many countries around the world. In British Commonwealth countries, for example, medical doctors routinely prescribe homeopathic medicine. Today many of the leading pharmaceutical companies in the United States—usually marketing conventional medications—are researching and mass-producing homeopathic medicines.

Homeopathic medicines are prepared by starting with a remedy in its most concentrated form (usually from plants, though sometimes from minerals and more rarely from animal sources). Then, a long process of dilution and succussion (shaking) produces a medicine that doesn’t contain the crude substance, but the energy of it. The word “potency” in homeopathy refers to how much a remedy was diluted. The higher the number, the greater the dilution (up to one part remedy to one trillion parts dilutant), so the less crude matter would be present in the dose. Oddly enough, the more diluted the medicine, the greater the potency. These very small doses stimulate the sick person's natural defenses.
