Homeopathy has been around for nearly two hundred years
and is still a mystery, because science has yet to find a
convincing explanation for its effectiveness. It is used throughout
the world, with animals as well as humans. Organic farmers
use remedies rather than dose their animals with antibiotics.
People with every possible kind of problem have all benefited
from it. There
is a small but growing body of research which demonstrates
its power.
Any ideas?
It is possible that the accurately chosen remedy overloads
a feedback system which has previously failed to switch off
the inappropriate symptoms. This is just one theory, there
are many others. What is beyond doubt though is that so many
people and animals cannot have been mistaken about its benefits.
Because it cannot artificially suppress systems it does not
create dependence or allow us to ignore warning signals from
our bodies, indeed homeopathy often makes us more aware of
those things which lead us to health rather than to illness.
