Principles of Homeopathic Medicine

• Like cures like – Also known as “The Law of Similars.” It says that a remedy that can trigger disease symptoms in a healthy person can cure the same symptoms in a sick person.
• Individualization – Every person is unique in their own way. Whether it’s their nature or temperament, it may vary from person to person. In the same way, the symptoms of the medical issue they face may differ for each individual. In this medicine, it is believed that a person’s life choices, temperament, likes – dislikes, and nature play a vital role in the ailment they are suffering. So, the homeopaths select the remedies keeping all these in their mind along with the symptoms they are showing.
• Minimum dose – The smaller the dosage, the greater its effectiveness is. When preparing homeopathic remedies, the natural substances are processed in such a way that only a minor trace (which is safe for consumption) is left in the final product. Therefore, the repetition and dose of remedy have to be such that it is safe and side-effects free.
