This law of similars states that a substance that can produce a set of symptoms if taken in toxic amounts by a healthy person, will heal those same symptoms if they appear in a diseased person. For example: Allium Cepa, a remedy made from red onions, is used in homeopathy in small diluted doses to treat a cold with streaming eyes and nose. Coffea is a homeopathic remedy made from coffee to help people who suffer from insomnia, especially when their minds are very active. We know that drinking coffee in large doses makes insomnia worse. When diluted into a homeopathic remedy, it can help insomnia. Apis is another good example of a homeopathic remedy made from bees. It is helpful in treating red, stinging, burning, itchy swellings resembling bee stings on the skin or mucous membranes. In homeopathy, it is important to treat each person individually according to their particular physical symptoms, together with any mental and emotional features, especially when addressing chronic conditions. Homeopathic medication is safe for people of all ages and can be taken in conjunction with other medication. There are minimal, if any, side-effects, making it an increasingly popular form of medicine. It is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure, and is not a substitute for a professional consultation with a health professional. Do not make any changes or additions to your prescription without consulting your doctor first. She qualified at Technikon Witwatersrand in 1998 (now the University of Johannesburg, or UJ) after completing five years of full-time studies, one year of internship in private practice, and a thesis on Endometriosis, a common condition affecting women. With winter on the horizon, a healthy immune system is essential to ward off the many bugs and viruses waiting patiently to attack during the cold season.
