Will Homoeopathy aggravate the symptoms during treatment?
The common belief is that Homoeopathic medicines sometimes cause initial aggravation of symptoms. Patients with chronic diseases who had been taking palliative (allopathic) treatment including steroids, invariably report long drawn aggravation which is due to the withdrawal effect of the medicines. That is why it is always suggested to withdraw these medicines gradually after getting improvement of the case with homoeopathic medicines. In chronic cases where there is long standing suppression of different symptoms, old symptoms tend to appear during the phase of recovery. This phenomenon is mostly found in chronic skin diseases..
Homoeopathy treats symptoms not Disease, is it true?
In Homoeopathy equal importance is given to symptoms of the patient as well as clinical diagnosis of the disease. In Homoeopathy the clinical diagnosis is not the only basis for prescribing medicines but individual patients mental state, behavior, his/her food habits climatic changes, social economic conditions, color and even sometimes racial characteristics makes a difference in treating the patient homeopathically. That is why in two similar well diagnosed cases the homoeopathy medicine may not the same.

How do we know Homoeopathy works? Could it just be a placebo?
How do we know Homoeopathy works? Could it just be a placebo?
There have been some important trials done in Glasgow which demonstrate
that Homoeopathy is not simply a placebo. Remember that all medicines
can behave as placebos...especially the coloured ones! The experience of
many homeopaths over the past 200 years is that we achieve much higher
success rates than can be attributed to placebo along. Homoeopathy has
also been demonstrated to work on animals and as we are frequently asked
to treat babies and small children, we are convinced it is not just a
placebo. We do desperately need more trials into Homoeopathy. A big
research effort is currently taking place at Sheffield University to
establish the kind of research model. Infact ,if it was only placebo it
would not have lasted for more than 200 years and had strong roots in
most of countries around the world.

Do I have to stop the drugs i am currently taking?
Do I have to stop the drugs i am currently taking?
Absolutely not. Homoeopathy is a complementary system of medicine and as
such it can be used as an alternative treatment or where necessary it
can work beautifully along side orthodox medicine and can alleviate
symptoms from pharmaceutical drugs. There are some drugs, especially
those which suppress symptoms (for example cortisone-based creams for
eczema; the contraceptive pill; HRT) which can make homeopathic
treatment more difficult and slower. But the homeopath has many
methodologies and has ways to overcome these obstacles.It is vital to
always consult your prescribing doctor regarding any changes in
medication.
