HOMEOPATHY IS THE PHILOSOPHY, ART, AND SCIENCE OF 'HEALING BY SIMILARS'.

The fundamental law on which Homeopathy stands is called "The Law of Nature" which remains true under every application.  Any substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person will alleviate similar symptoms when given in Homeopathic doses to a sick person. It applies whether the symptoms are physical, emotional or mental changes from the usual healthy self - if you have a set of symptoms indicating that you are not well, the Homoeopath uses this 'symptoms picture' to find your remedy.  They search for the substance which is known to have caused similar suffering in others, and then use this substance to help you.

HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES

Many poisonous substances can be converted into valuable Homeopathic medicines, by a simple process of dilution and succession. Using this method, all Homeopathic remedies become non-toxic and are safe to be used in the home with-out fear of causing harm through ignorance, or through being taken by unattended children.

The process of preparing the remedies by diluting and successions has another great advantage: The remedies can be made much more power-full this way.

By some little understood law of nature, the latent healing energy of each substance (whether you are using herbs, minerals, drugs, metals, snake or insect poison or any chemical compounds) will be released and intensified by this method of preparation.

This means that even substances which are thought to be of value in healing, may be found, after dilution and succession, (which we call "Potentiating"), to become very valuable Homeopathic remedies; While substances which are too deadly to be used in their natural state are rendered harmless and become invaluable medicines.

The "Law of the Minimum Dose" is then, the second fundamental law of Homeopathy. It is based on the law known to physicists, that "the amount of energy needed to effect change is always the least possible".

ENERGY MEDICINE

We are, therefore, not dealing with chemical changes such as you get from taking drugs prescribed by your local practitioner.
Homeopathic remedies act upon your vitality, stimulating your body's own self-healing ability, helping you get back to full health and vigor.

Healing is self initiated. Only your own vital energy will organise the cells of your body to repair, cleanse and regenerate. Homeopathy adds energy to your depleted energy so that this process can begin. The stimulus is not forceful (as you get from taking stimulant drugs) so it does not wear off and leave you flat. Instead, you get a feeling of greater wellbeing which continues even though the physical symptoms may return from time to time throughout the healing period.

By stimulating vitality, therefore, your natural resistance is strengthened and you whole self (body, mind and emotions) is restored to health.

Homeopathy observes the first Hippocratic principle "prima non nocere"- "Firstly, do not harm" - and offers the promise of a safe, gentle, effective and natural cure.

INSTRUCTIONS - For Taking The remedies

The remedies should be taken according to instructions given by your practitioner. Drops should be placed under the tongue, away from meal times, preferably on rising and going to bed and whenever else your practitioner advises. The mouth should be clean and free of food or toothpaste odors. Pinnules and powers should be held in the mouth until dissolved.

Many drugs can inhibit the action of Homeopathic remedies, it is important to tell your practitioner what you have had, both recently and in the past, so he can take this into account.

Unless otherwise advised, do not take any more than three doses of a remedy if it is not giving you any sign of change or sense of benefit. Also, if your condition worsens, stop the remedy and contact your practitioner immediately for advice.
