Ever Tried Homeopathy For Your Cat?
Written by Dr. Laxmi Iyer
If
your last visit to the vet ended up with your cats climbing
up and hiding at the top of your vet's cup boards, your
vet and her assistants recovering from scratches, bites
and urine sprays and you yourself having a frightful shock,
then it's time to think.
What
you need to accept as a fact of life is that your cat hates
injections and all the poking around with endoscopes that
all good vets sometimes need to do. Homeopathy in contrast
is gentle and painless and works well in a remarkable number
of cases.
You
need to contact a good veterinary homeopath - someone who
has studied the science and art of homeopathy well.
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.
