Samuel Hahnemann, a German doctor, developed homeopathy from the concept of "like cures like". The overdose of a certain substance may cause the symptom but when the same substance is used, it can act as the cure for the same symptom.
This has been tried in plants, minerals and animals during his study. The approach became known as the law of homeopathy but as his claim was proven by others, it became the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia. This is where the homeopathic remedies were taken.
The homeopathic remedies work by using the same substance that caused the symptom. It will be diluted in alcohol or in water so that only a part of the substance will be retained and the symptom will be cured.
To make this work, a patient will have to relay to the doctor the symptom that he feels and it will be compared to other symptoms. When it is done, the cure should be something that can cause the symptom but it should first be so diluted.
Normally, this would mean that there should only be a molecule of the substance. An example would be when you have a headache and this will be cured by any diluted substance that can cause the same headache.
Aside from headache, the homeopathic remedies are commonly used as cure to other illnesses such as colds, asthma, flu and others. However, this kind of treatment is not used to treat the more serious health problems such as cancer, diabetes and heart diseases.
The reasoning behind this will lead you to the natural tendency of our body to respond to threats. When a smaller amount of substance is applied, the weaker illness will be dominant and this is easier for the body to counter the symptom.
However, there are still questions regarding the matter especially on the aspect on how the small amount of the substance can still cure the symptom of disease.
This is answered by several reasons. One of which is the ability of the water to retain a memory of the substance. As the substance is diluted in water, it is able to contain the memory of the substance and continue with it even when only a molecule of the substance is left.
Another reason would be, when the dilution happened, the substance was able to release the healing capability that is contained in the original one. These reasons of the followers of homeopathic healing are not yet accepted by scientists.
More studies are done to find the reason behind homeopathic remedies but there were only a few who believes that this form of healing really works.
The use of homeopathic remedies may still continue to benefit the less serious cases where it is applied. For a person who has a serious illness and time is important for his recovery, believing in homeopathy may not always be the best option.
The major illness of an individual should already be treated by means of the proven methods. For the less serious illness such as colds, it can possibly help a person in treating their disease or lessening its harmful effects.
