As
you are aware, most of homeopathy is all about handing
out sugar coated pills. Soothing and gentle, it
is a remarkable system of healing. Developed by
a German physician Hahnemann more people than ever
before are adopting this beautiful system of healing
- both for themselves and for their pets.
The essential principle of homeopathy revolves around
the concept of Similia Similibus Curentur or "
Like cures like ". Dilution of medicines is
done in molecular ranges or ultra molecular ranges.
According to this system of healing living beings
are maintained by a vital force. Disease happens
because of disorderly functioning of the vital force.
All homeopathic drugs contain the medicines in very
minute doses. The degree to which a medicine is
diluted marks the strength or potency of the medicine.
In 1873, Dr Schuessler, another German physician
held the view that some mineral salts are vital
for functional activity in living beings. He classified
them as 12 basic tissue salts and gave the names:
Calcarea Flour, Calcarea Phos, Calcarea Sulph, Ferrum
Phos, Kali Mur, Kali Phos, Kali Sulph, Magnesia
Phos, Natrum Mur, Natrum Phos, Natrum Sulph and
Silicea. Even today you will find such names used
for homeopathic medicines.
