Introduction Homeopathy is a safe and effective way to treat a variety of health disorders. While it has been used throughout Europe, India and North America for well over two hundred years, its popularity has exploded over the last decade. Walk into any pharmacy or health food store, and you will find dozens of homeopathic remedies for sale. However, as the number of these products has increased, so has the confusion regarding which ones are best to employ in different situations. As a pharmacist, I firmly believe that it is vital for you to have a clear idea of what you are taking to address your health problem. That is why I wrote What You Must Know About Homeopathic Remedies. The more you know, the better your decisions will be. Like all truly effective forms of alternative medicine, homeopathy takes the whole person into account, including their physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness.
Its principles are based on common sense, observation, and many years of trial and error. As you will see, some homeopathic remedies work very quickly and noticeably. For example, with some types of flu, the remedy Oscillococcinum can reduce symptoms in a matter of hours. But in other instances, it may take weeks or even months for a homeopathic remedy to take full effect. By finding the right formula and understanding what to expect, you will be able to address your problem more successfully and have a greater understanding of your recovery. I have tried to keep this book short and to the point. The book contains five chapters. Chapter One provides you with an understanding of the history and science of homeopathy.
The second chapter explains how the formulas are created and how they should be used. Chapter Three lists the sixty-two most commonly prescribed remedies along with the symptoms that they can effectively treat. Chapter Four addresses fifty-nine of the most common health disorders and their homeopathic treatments. This chapter looks at both shortterm and chronic health issues and also focuses on childhood illnesses, women's disorders, and sports injuries. Chapter Five offers advice on homeopathic first aid measures that you can use at home. Also included are resources that can help you learn more about the subject. Once you have a better sense of what homeopathy can do for you or a loved one, I strongly recommend working with a licensed homeopathic physician whenever you deal with a serious condition. These professionals can provide you with a full range of powerful remedies.
Should any health issue persist, never be afraid to seek the advice of another health provider. Again, the better informed you are, the better your decisions will be.
