The stories of the doctors of the past aboutthat similar is treated similar. And most likely, Hippocrates was one of the first to prioritize this principle as a component of patient care. But he did not isolate the principle as the only correct one, but believed that it should be applied competently in conjunction with other well-known medicine practitioners. For many centuries humanity has gone to such an approach in the treatment of diseases.
Now there is considerable interest in the methodtreatment with homeopathic medicines. He is well known in the world, which was promoted by the popularization of works and teaching activities of the famous German scientist S. Hahnemann.
The Birth of Homeopathy as a Science
The principle of similarity can be observed in the easternmedicine, where it is built on the use of medicinal plants. Eastern doctors found similarity in plant and human body. Paracelsus, a well-known doctor of Medieval Europe, also adhered to this principle.
Homeopaths as the stepson of medicine
What just do not say or write abouthomeopathy. Some insist that this is a pseudoscientific and quack concept of treatment, while others, on examples of people who have recovered, prove the opposite. Many, not knowing who a homeopath is, by what methods he treats patients, make their unflattering conclusions about him. Having come to such a doctor and received real help, they say that they were wrong. And how many times did the medical treatment fail, and the person taking all the medications as prescribed by the doctor turned into a chronically ill patient at best or left the life altogether without curing his illness. Just do not interfere with the official medicine, as it was in the 60 years of the last century, in the Soviet era, but to give the person who is ill a chance to get help from a homeopathic doctor.
In those far 60th doctors-homeopathists (who it andthat treat, consider in the article) were not recruited into state institutions, because there was no state status in homeopathy. And why was not he? Because the official medicine believed that the homeopathic method does not have the depth of scientific justification that is necessary for homeopaths to work on the same level with the doctors of recognized medicine. At that time the most eminent physicians appeared with accusatory articles about homeopathy in the press, reducing this branch of medicine, recognized in the world, almost to charlatanry.
Homeopathy - therapeutic treatment
To understand who a homeopathic doctor is that healsa homeopath when to address to it or him, it is necessary to familiarize more in detail with a homeopathy and not to confuse it with a phytotherapy. Homeopathy is a therapeutic treatment that involves the use of homeopathic preparations of selected concentration for a particular patient. Approved by the official medicine the kind of treatment "like treated like" as pseudoscientific is counterposed to homeopathic principles of rational pharmacotherapy.
If traditional medicine is based on modernpharmaceutics and synthetic drugs mercilessly struggles with the disease, trying to defeat it, homeopathy by selecting the necessary doses of the drug works with the physiological ailment. That is, the treatment is aimed at supporting the defenses of the body so that they themselves struggle with the disease. Thanks to homeopathy, the immune system is strengthened.
The principle of homeopathic treatment
The success of homeopathic treatmentdepends on their appointment as a homeopath physician. What does the doctor treat and what is the principle of homeopathic therapy? At first glance, the same pathology in patients can be treated with different homeopathic preparations. That is, the selection of an agent for treating a patient does not depend on the components involved in it, here the principle by which it is selected applies.
What Treats a Homeopathic Physician?
The homoeopathic physician deals with almost everyoneTherapeutic diseases, if they are not in severe chronic form. The homeopath does not deal with the treatment of an individual organ, but thanks to properly prescribed homeopathic preparations he is engaged in the healing of the whole organism. Most often, patients are treated to it, which traditional medicine can not help. What diseases does the homeopath in this case? These include female and male infertility, allergies, skin diseases, disorders in metabolic processes, diseases of the nervous system, various disorders of the digestive tract. The doctor treats these diseases by selecting and changing the dosages of homeopathic medicines. Having medical education, he understands that some diseases need to be treated in a complex, that is, in a combination of medication and homeopathic administration of drugs. That is, he is an analyst, a practitioner, and a pharmacist. That's what a homeopathic doctor is.
Pediatric homeopathy
If there are skeptics, unacceptable homeopathictreatment of adults, it is possible to imagine how many statements against the treatment of children by such means. Some believe that children in general need to be treated with proven tablets and potions, and all preparations of homeopathy can cause intoxication in the child's body. But the conducted studies have established that homeopathy can not give intoxication, moreover, such preparations are the safest for children.
The principle of homeopathy preparations
As mentioned above, the homeopath must possesspharmaceutical ability to calculate the concentration and selection of components of the substance. The German scientist S. Hahnemann conducted studies on establishing the dose ratio of a homeopathic substance with the resulting therapeutic effect. As a result, the scientist came to the conclusion: the lower the concentration of a substance in water, the higher the therapeutic effect. The reason why this works, scientists can not establish, but it is consonant with the theory of "Memory of water".
Treatment method
The method of treatment is one and consists in receivingprescribed by a homeopathic doctor, drugs that provoke a pathological process. Since the concentration of substances that cause this process is negligible, the effect of recovery is obtained. Homeopath never at the beginning of treatment does not prescribe several drugs. A certain stage of treatment should be carried out by a single drug. Vitamins can be prescribed to strengthen the body. For the treatment to be effective, the patient must learn what the homeopath does. He selects the medication needed for treatment, and a regimen of intake that are based on the patient's condition both physically and psychologically. Self-medication in homeopathy is unacceptable.
Form of release of homeopathic remedies
Homeopathic preparations are available in the form of tablets, alcohol solutions and granules-grains, similar to sugar, but slightly larger. Any of these drugs should be prescribed by a homeopathic doctor.
Obviously, the article shed a little light on who is a homeopathist, and it became clear that his task, like the usual doctor in a medical institution, is the restoration of the patient's health.
