Homeopathic Medicine

What is Homeopathy

Homeopathic Medicine is a modern therapeutic system. It is a branch of Medical Science and an established specialization in many European Universities.

Ηomeopathy’s principals were firstly introduced in Ancient Greece from the father of Medicine, Hippocrates, in the works “On Fractures” and “The law of Similars”, but its international development started at the end of the 18^th century (1796) in Germany, by doctor Samuel Hahnemann.

Homeopathic Medicine is characterized as Holistic Medicine. For homeopathy, the patient is an UNDIVIDED ensemble of body and soul, which is not separated into parts. The soul affects the body, and the body affects the soul.

What can homeopathy cure?

It can cure EVERYTHING, as long as the illness is not irreversible or heavy injuries have not occured in a body part. In heavy injuries, it can provide relief.

The results of Homeopathy

Homeopathy has ΙMMEDIATE results. Its aim is not just to relieve the patient, by repressing the symptoms of a disease. Its aim is to cure the cause of this disease.

Despite all this, Homeopathy, as every other therapeutic system, is not panacea. Its results depend on whether the injuries inside the organism are reversible or not.

Duration of Homeotherapy

This depends on a lot of factors, like the kind of the disease, its gravity, its inveteracy, the injuries already caused, the patient’s constitution and age etc.

Usually, the patient can see improvement as early as the first month of therapy. In 4 to 8 months, the symptoms, for which the patient sought therapy in the first place, are decreased. At the same time, every chronic disposition to the diseases treated the person may have is attenuated.

Of course, we have to note here that every case is special and different.

Homeopathy and Prevention

Homeopathic therapy can have a preventive effect on healthy people, decreasing chronic dispositions to diseases, while also promoting a better level of health, vitality, and physical and spiritual harmony.

Limitations to Homeopathy

Homeopathy cannot be combined with anything that contains caffeine, like coffee, cola, desserts or liquors that contain coffee, cellulite creams with caffeine or medicine with caffeine.

Tea, mint, chamomile, chocolate and cocoa, are allowed in Homeotherapy.

Patients suffering from chronic diseases, who are on medication, can receive homeopathic treatment at the same time. Chemical meds affect the material level, while homeopathic ones affect the energy one, so they don’t react to each other.

However, the goal of both the patient and the homeopathic doctor, is to minimize the amount of chemical meds the patient needs – always in collaboration with doctors of other medical fields, and after constant observation and laboratory tests.

Homeopathic treatment can effectively be combined with other therapeutic systems, such as Αcupuncture, Chiropractic, Reiki etc.

The one and only priority is the benefit and safety of the patient

Homeopathic Medicine

Homeopathic ‘drugs’ are natural medications. They are derived from plants or stones, but they are not herbs or vitamins. They are administered with a doctor’s prescription. They are totally harmless to any susceptible group (pregnant women, infants, people suffering from kidney disease, etc) and they do not have any side-effects.

The homeopathic doctor records the patient’s medical history in order to determine their temperament. In case the patient suffers from five different diseases, they will not receive five different drugs, as happens in modern Allopathic Medicine. They will receive just one, the one Similar to their Temperament, aimed at the elimination of their Chronic Predispositions.

Thus the disease is cured, with permanent and radical results.

What method of Homeopathy do we practice

In the Homeopathic Academy we practice the Classical Miasmatic Constitutional Homeopathy, which completely respects the Scientific Homeopathic Laws.

Law “as a Whole”To diagnose a patient, the Homeopathic doctor examines them as an undivided whole of body and soul.
Law of IndividualizationThe Homeopathic doctor administers to every different patient their “own” homeopathic medicine, the one responding to the temperament affecting them at that specific period of time.
Law of SimilarsThe doctor administers each time the Homeopathic medicine that is the most similar with the acute or chronic situation of the patient, at that specific time. It is wrong to prescribe more than one homeopathic medications.
Law of Hierarchy In the Homeopathic Academy we practice the Classical Miasmatic Constitutional Homeopathy, which respects the Hierarchy inherent in Human Beings. First comes the mental level (thoughts and emotions) and then follows the physical one. And, on the physical level, first comes the Nervous System (brain), followed by the Hormonal System, the heart, the lungs, the intestines, the Musculoskeletal System and, last, the skin. So, for a diagnosis, the mental symptoms are the first to be examined, and then the physical ones follow.

Common misunderstandings about Homeopathy

It is not phytotherapy/herb-therapy, because:
a. the raw materials used to produce the Homeopathic medicines, come not only from plants (80%), but also from rocks, and animal effluences.
b. as these materials are processed, the initial substances are turned into an energy remedy
c. the homeopathic medicines start by affecting the energy level of a person, and then move downwards, affecting the physical level, and upwards, towards the mental level.
It is not a paramedical science… because Homeopathy is a branch of Medical Science, that can diagnose and provide treatment. It should be practiced only by medical doctors. Due to its holistic action, Homeopathy affects the whole organism and can treat the patient as a whole.If a non-doctor claims that they are “Homeopathic”, this doesn’t mean that Homeopathy is not Medical Science. In the same way, if a “quack” doctor says that he is an “Allopathic” doctor and prescribe chemical medications, this doesn’t mean that Allopathic Medicine is not Medical Science.
It is not a Complementary and Alternative Medical Science… since homeopathy can fully treat the patient, acting on every level of their organism. This doesn’t reverse Homeopathy’s collaboration with Allopathy and other therapeutic systems, whenever needed, without prejudice and bigotry.
It doesn’t have eastern roots… because Homeopathy’s first steps were made in Ancient Greece, by Hippocrates. It was developed as an applied therapeutic system by the German professional of Medicine Samuel Hahnemann, around 250 years ago.
It has nothing to do with religions, cults or “metaphysical” situations… because it is just a therapeutic system. A homeopathic doctor could be a Christian, a Buddhist, a Muslim or an atheist. This is a matter of personal faith and not of Homeopathy.
