 | The law of similars is the fundamental basis of homeopathy-like is used to treat like. Homeopathic medicine operates on the principle that the best remedy for illness is a substance that produces similar symptoms of that same illness in a healthy person. |
 | Proponents of homeopathic remedies are quick to point out that homeopathic doctors take a holistic approach to medicine. You will be asked questions about your lifestyle, diet, sleeping habits, exercise habits, personality and medical history, all in an effort to help you get your body in the best health possible using natural stimulants and remedies. |
 | Homeopathic remedies are custom designed to treat the individual, an illness and the symptoms of that illness. The thought is that small quantities of ingredients that would cause symptoms of a disease in larger quantities will alleviate symptoms. |
Homeopathy used to be virtually unknown in the United States. It has its roots in Europe and has been popular overseas for a long time. Americans are starting to catch up, as I now see homeopathic medicines in large national retail chains. |&&|In Greek, homeopathy literally means "similar suffering". |
