Homeopathic Medicines and the Right Choices for You

Considered as a so-called "soft" or "parallel" medicine, homeopathy is opposed to allopathy and can come to the aid of many small sores of our children. Without adverse effects, this approach requires some precautions to be used in young children. We tell you everything.

Homeopathy actually treats evil with evil. It is necessary to identify the symptom of the patient and find the homeopathic medicine which corresponds to him (plant, mineral or animal) and which can cause the same symptom in a healthy subject.

Field

Homeopathy is a medicine that takes into account the symptoms of the child, but also his field, that is to say his character, his sensitivity: when he has a fever , does he claim cold or on the contrary does he prefer to be covered, does he lose his appetite, does he ask to drink? All this information is of interest to the homeopathic doctor to help him better target the personality of the child and therefore administer the necessary remedy. With German Homeopathic Treatment Kolkata the this is important.

Dilutions

All the remedies are diluted and cannot therefore be toxic. High dilutions (15 CH, 30 CH, 100 K, 200 K) are prescribed by the doctor to act long-term on behavioral symptoms: fears, emotivity, aggressiveness. Low dilutions (4 CH to 15 CH) act in three or four days, on local symptoms: runny nose, dental flares.
