Myths About Homeopathy
Among the many myths, the biggest amongst all is the false notion of homeopathic treatment being a slow treatment. Is homeopathic treatment really slow ? How slow is homeopathy? It’s a question that every homeopath has to answer a million times a during his lifetime.
The real answer is that it is as slow or fast as the nature gets. To understand this, one has to understand the basic principle underlying homeopathy . Homeopathic medicines work on the principle of like cures like. This means that a similar impression like that of the disease is given to the body in the from of medicine . This in turn incites a small reaction in the body which fights the disease. In simpler terms, it means that homeopathic medicines stimulate body’s own healing processes. This is the basic principle of homeopathy, so the speed at which homeopathic medicines cure a disease is largely governed by the way our natural restorative process of our body respond. Thus Homeopathic medicines are not slow in action they are as slow or as fast as our body’s healing system reacts. Body’s healing reaction is dependant on many factors. The intensity of disease, nature and the time since its been in the body and to some extent the over all vitality of the body have major outcome on the speed at which our body cures it self. For example a long standing (20 years or so) case of eczema would take a coupe of months to be totally cured. On the other hand an acute case of simple sore throat can respond within hours.
The second myth that plagues homeopathy is that of ‘Onions and Coffee’ . Should onions and coffee be avoided with homeopathic medicines ?; can they antidote homeopathic effect on human body ?. I very strongly believe that these are myths and do not alter the homeopathic action in our body. I am a regular onion eater and I have closely monitored myself whenever I am on homeopathic medication. It does work. Even while I take onions. I have never advocated the avoidance of onions and coffee to my patients, still it works for them. It is a pure myth . Coming to think of it ,how can two substances antidote a complete range of four thousand plus homeopathic medicines used in homeopathy. There is no homeopathic research or clinical trials that indicates that onions and coffee antidote homeopathic action . The founder of homeopathy -Dr. Hahnemann had cautioned against the overuse of coffee as a stimulant and that has been misread and wrongfully interpreted.
The third myth – after taking homeopathic medicines there is always an increase in existing symptoms. Its very common to hear from patients ‘Will my Symptoms increase when I start homeopathic medicine?’ The answer is ‘ Not always’; they do but only in certain conditions and are easily avoidable . In certain disease conditions, where the symptoms are suppressed by the use of conventional medicines ,one might see a slight increase in symptoms which is usually temporary and is usually followed by major relief even in previous condition too. These increase in symptoms can easily be avoided by an expert homeopath with careful choice of medicine potency. Thus the statement that there is always an increase of symptoms after taking homeopathic medicines is a myth
My mother has a nerve problem. Her hands shiver sometimes. And my mother’s mother also had the same problem. Her hands shiver all the time. My mother has started taking homeopathic medicines as prescribed by the doctor but she says that it feels as if the problem has increased. Her hands shiver more often. What’s the reason behind this? Does homeopathy first increases the problem and then decreases it?

Dear Dr. Sharma,
I am a 81years old man. Diabetic – Insulin dependent. Sugar remaines within limits.
about three years ago I started having pain at the back of right leg. The pain started from below my hip , down to my knee and calf. I took pain killing tablets and got some relief. After some time, After walking for half an hour I started feeling numb in my hip. Doctor said I am suffering from Sciatica. I was given Colosynth and it worked like a magic. Within a week’s time, I had no pain at all. But after a month I started having the pain again and this time I started having the pain both the legs. It is about three two years now, I have had many Homeo medicines but nothing is working. I feel my right calf is getting stiff because of which I have started limping. I am losing balance on feet. The pain is so much at times I cannot walk more than five minutes. Request immidiate help. Regards.

While i am writing to you she is still caring those allery and allergy marks. Her condition is quite pathetic.
So, Could you please suggest me what should i do and what are the medicines in homeopathy that can cure her.

Thank you Doctor for clearing some myths. Can you clarify some more points?
1 Avoid taking water at least ten minutes prior to taking Homeo pills and up to ten minutes after taking pills.
2. Pills not to be swallowed but put under the tongue to let it dissolve naturally.
Thanks once again
