CHRONIC AND ACUTE ILLNESS! WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

Acute illnesses are those which last for a short duration-usually several hours to weeks and are self-resolving.

A proper care must to taken from the beginning because if they persist, they can become chronic. Examples of acute diseases include a headache, cold, toothache, etc.

Chronic diseases persist for long usually one’s whole life, if left untreated. Homeopathic remedies treat these chronic diseases with the help of constitutional remedies.
Example of chronic diseases are cancer, diabetes, arthritis, anxiety, etc.

CAN HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES BE TAKEN ALONG WITH CONVENTIONAL MEDICINES?

Yes, but conditions may apply.

If a person is taking conventional medicines for chronic illnesses, often times a homeopath would recommend him to take homeopathic remedies along with the conventional ones.

Rather than stopping the dependency on the conventional medicine abruptly, a well-trained homeopath would recommend the patient to slowly reduce their dosage as abrupt shifting can backfire. Depending on the severity of illness, homeopathic treatment can take some time to show visible healing effects.

After some time when the patient’s dependency on the conventional medicines is reduced, he can eventually shift to homeopathy.

Do consult a homeopath, if you have any such concern.

IS IT SAFE TO USE HOMEOPATHY ON CHILDREN AND INFANTS?

Homeopathic tablets are mild, highly diluted, and sweet sugary pills.
These characteristics make them safe not just for children but for infants also.
As homeopathy acts as a stimulant for the immune system, it also raises your child’s immunity to face illnesses and other such concerns as they grow up.

WHAT ADVANTAGES DOES HOMEOPATHY HAS OVER WESTERN MEDICINE?

Unlike western medicine which can create several debilitating effects in long run, homeopathy acts well both for acute and chronic illnesses without any side effects.

Western medicine acts on the symptom or disease label while homeopathy seeks to find the root cause linking it with the emotional, mental, physical patterns causing the symptoms to finally prescribe you with the most suitable remedy.

As it takes a holistic approach to treat a person, it sometimes even relieves a patient from such symptoms for which no known disease label is available.

As they are heavily diluted, homeopathic remedies can be taken along with western medicine also. Later on, when the body start reducing its dependency on the conventional medicine, the patient can be eventually shifted to homeopathy subject to consultation with a homeopath.
