Why Homeopathy is becoming next generation’s favorite As Alternative Medicine?

Before starting about Homeopathy / Medicine, let’s know some history about Alternative Medicine .The existence of medicine was quite available when humans understood disease. Every Civilization like  Egyptian, babylonian, Hebrew, Chinese and Indian had their own traditional medicine. archaeological evidence proved that treatments were present during the Prehistoric period or stone age period of time.

Ancient Egypt where “Imhotep ” Was the first physician who introduced medicine to know their time period let me tell you he was also claimed to architect step pyramids. Hippocrates” a Greek physician recognised as the father of modern medicine.

Atharva-Veda the holy Vedas of Hindu is one of the Ancient evidence  that proved Before proper medicines system how we depend upon Tantra Mantra or some traditional rituals  along with some natural remedies.

Medicine in ancient time

In the great epic Ramayana reveals how Sanjeevani buti, a kind of natural medicine, had an ability to alive even a dead person. Ashwini Kumar, a great physician, showed a great medicine called chyawanprash can reform an old and injured person into a young one.

Ayurveda, a kind of natural medicines system, is the world’s oldest medicines system which was blessed by Lord Dhanvantari .Charak Samhita,Written by Charak medicine which contains the description of a large number of diseases and discusses their treatment with plants.he was also called father of Ayurveda. Cannabis sativa is an oldest known plant which was used to treat patients.

There are many streams present to deal with a Patient like Allopathy, Homoeopathy, acupressure or acupuncture, Unani, Siddha, yoga and asana, even reiki, all introduced gradually.

Acupressure or acupuncture is an old traditional technique of ancient china to cure patients by either pressing some specific point on the body or puncturing them by some needles. This technique is not very popular Among patients.Yoga and asana  are not easy to perform and also  take time to cure patients. This is a type of prevention.

Acupuncture : a component of traditional Chinese medicine

At the Present scenario Allopathy became the most popular medicines system where Patients can get quick relief from their problems.though Allopathy  is a quicker medicine but  it has some side effects. The main reason to gain Popularity is not their mode of action but there  is the huge  Pharma Industry stand behind it .It is multi layered organised business, worldwide it has 3.5 trillion almost 3.5 lakh crore industry and also has a great team of marketing to tempt doctors.

Why is it becoming next generation’s favorite?

It is absolutely true that nowadays Homeopathy Doctors or Pharmacies are available in villages and localities just like Allopathy Doctors. Therefore, now Homeopathy treatment has become easily available.

Many diseases are not curable in Allopathy.They always suggest either operation or removal of  affected organs but other streams claim to cure such kind of disease like cancer,it is not curable in allopathy it reported after a particular time but Ayurveda claims to cure it. Gall stone or some uterus problem if not cured in allopathy they suggest removing it but in Homeopathy or Ayurveda it is Curable.

So to increase interest of people  towards such medicine government  of India Established Department of India Systems of Medicine and Homoeopathy (ISM&H) under the ministry of Health and Family welfare in March, 1995 and renamed it as “AYUSH” (Department of Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy) in November, 2003.The Ministry of Ayush was formed on the 9th of November 2014 with a vision of reviving the profound knowledge of our ancient systems of medicine and ensuring the optimal development and propagation of the Ayush systems of healthcare.

Nowadays homoeopathy has become popular or we can say first choice among next generation peoples as it has almost no side effects  like Allopathy and it is a very cost effective medicine which can be afforded by any class of people of any country.people now dare to use it to their infant as it is safe to use.

The term Allopathy coined by doctor Samuel Hahnemann in 1810 who is father of Homoeopathy.He conjoined allos “opposite” and pathos “suffering” as a referent to harsh medical practices of his era which included bleeding, purging, vomiting and the administration of highly toxic drugs.

Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann 10 April 1755 – 2 July 1843

I do not agree to consider it as an alternative medicine,alternative for what?Is it an alternative to allopathy? Homoeopathy must be considered as mainstream medicine and encouraged for more research towards this area. 

Homoeopathy :what is  mode of action?

The best part of using homoeopathy is that it is not palliative like allopathy, it completely cures the disease.its acts upon our vital forces to make it healthy.

“Similia similibus curentur” the homoeopathic law based on nature’s law.it is safer to use and unchangeable like allopathic theories.homoeopathic medicines are experimentally proven and reproved on the healthy humans of both sexes and of all age groups.Homeopathy stimulate healing responses to diseases by administering substances that mimic the symptoms of those diseases in healthy people.Homoeopathy is able to treat both acute and chronic medical conditions.

As a student and doctor of homoeopathy i realise that this stream is changing to advance from its beginning, classical homoeopathy uses single medicine now Pluralists use more than one medicine at a time.Now we use electronic and energetic technologies to help find the correct medicine and potency.we have to go through its specialisation like skin, eye,obs and gynae, paediatrics etc.for proper care of patients.it is now adopted in many countries and I strongly believe that it is best, convenient and cost effective way to cure a disease.
