How Homeopathic Medicines work on disease?

How Homeopathic medicines work on the body?

As Homeopathic medicines are nothing but different dynamic forces and don't have any chemical existence, it works on the body in a dynamic way. By keeping Homeopathic pills under the tongue, nerve endings of the mouth are stimulated. The stimulus is carried to the brain and from brain the curative force of Homeopathy operates on the organ or location in the body where the dynamic derangement of disease exists. Just like electricity passing through wire cannot be seen but proves its existence by producing desired effects, Homeopathy also works in somewhat similar way.

According to modern concept, if Bacteria and Viruses are the causes of disease, then what are views of Homeopathy for the same?

Suppose a group of people are exposed to Influenza Virus. Only few of them get sick and others remain healthy. Why does that happen? The people who remain healthy were immune to disease and were not vulnerable to disease. Immunity is a inborn tendency in individuals to recognize and acquire antigens. In short, the people who were immune to the disease were dynamically in a perfect equilibrium.

People who got affected by disease were dynamically deranged before only, and were vulnerable to get affected by disease bacteria or virus. So, dynamic derangement in the person was first to occur, then bacteria and viruses entered in their body to produce disease. In fact, the presence of particular bacteria or viruses helps us to detect the type of dynamic derangement in a living entity and direct us to the necessary actions required to be taken to restore the dynamic equillibrium.

What is the role of antibiotics in treatment of bacterial or viral diseases?

Antibiotics help to eliminate or kill the bacteria in the body. It gives the temporary relief by controlling infection. However, the tendency in patients to attract microorganisms remains the same. So, the person who gets a temporary relief from infection is vulnerable to subsequent attacks from the same organisms, but this time with a greater intensity from time to time. Why this happens? This happens because microorganisms produce resistance to antibiotics. For example, the lethal power of Penicillin in 1960 was around 97%, has come down to around 43% in recent years. So, multiple antibiotics system is used to get rid off microorganisms. In many viral diseases antibiotics are not very effective. Newer and stronger antibiotics are manufactured every day to fight with resistant bacteria. It's a constant battle of newer, stronger antibiotics against the evolution of bacteria which are becoming more resistant day by day.

How Homeopathy helps in the battle against resistant bacteria and viruses?

As Homeopathy works in a harmless and holistic way, it brings the dynamic force to normalcy by dynamic Homeopathic medicines. Two things are achieved by this. First, the little creatures (bacteria and viruses) leave the body without doing any harm. And second, as the equilibrium of the vital force is restored, the person regains the immunity for not getting affected by the microorganisms in future. It is the complete cure, so is called as the Holistic line of treatment.

However these episodes will be very rare and their intensity will be minimal. This is because the medication makes you capable of handling situations better and fighting your stress better.

In spite of minuteness, how does it work?

According to universal laws, a dynamic force can be affected by a dynamic force only. If a living organism shows its lively existence by presence of dynamic life principle (vital force), it should be deranged by a dynamic noxious agent (disease) which should have a dynamic origin only. If that is so, then the medicines which are used to restore the vital force to its normal condition should also be dynamic.

Hence, Homeopathic medicines in spite of the minuteness produce curative action on living organism. Higher the potency, more minute is the content, but more potent with deeper power of penetration in vital organs.

What is the magic of minimum dose?

The quantity of drug required is in inverse ratio to its similarity. More the similarity, lesser the quantity of medicine required. Homeopathic medicines are selected on symptom similarity.

In short, Homeopathic medicines work qualitatively not quantitatively.
