In the last 20 years, more and more facts have appeared that allow us to talk about homeopathy as the key to a new understanding of man and his interaction with the environment. Leading professional medical journals regularly publish articles that homeopathy has become a healing system whose existence cannot be ignored, and the combination of modern medical technologies with homeopathy will undoubtedly bring great benefits to patients.

Quite quickly, the Canadian pharmaceutical market is filled with homeopathic medicines, both domestic and foreign. In the pharmacy network, most of these drugs can be purchased without a prescription, which makes them more affordable and makes it possible to more widely used homeopathic remedies for the treatment of the most common pathology. In this review, we will consider all the advantages of homeopathic remedies over well-known, widely advertised pharmacological agents.

Homeopathic Diagnostics — Selection of Predominantly One Remedy

Homeopathic diagnosis is, first of all, the selection of predominantly one homeopathic medicine, the pathogenesis of which contains the majority of mental, vegetative, and somatic symptoms detected during the examination of the patient. With this approach, the pathogenesis of homeopathic medicine is a kind of model of disorders at all levels of the functioning of the patient’s body.

According to modern data, the action of homeopathic medicines has an informational basis based on the effects of quasi-crystalline water structures interacting with the major histocompatibility complex that controls extracellular and intracellular water. As a result, a whole cascade of reactions is launched, which leads to self-regulation of functions, both of individual organs and systems, and the whole organism. In this regard, the formulation of a homeopathic diagnosis is of particular importance, which, unlike classical diagnostics, is a diagnosis not of a disease, but a patient in all the interconnection of his mental and physiological manifestations. 

Traditionally, there are two ways of making a homeopathic diagnosis:

• The first one is short, it assumes that the doctor has developed imaginative thinking, a lot of clinical experience. This allows the diagnosis of the patient to be established from the threshold. It looks impressive, but is not accessible to many and often borders on an error that is so undesirable;
• The second way is longer because the remedy is determined using a reference book of symptoms — the repertory.

The most famous of these reference books is J. T. Kent’s repertory, which is a hierarchical classification of symptoms.

Homeopathic Treatment with Legitimate Products

Ideally, homeopathic treatment is a very individual process and requires consultation with a homeopathic doctor. In this case, a deep individualization of prescriptions will be carried out, taking into account the characteristics of the patient’s personality, his reactivity, the influence of environmental factors from everyday conditions to cosmic (biorhythmological) influences.

At the same time, in the practice of homeopaths, the use of two or more simple medicinal substances has become common. And although they are applied alternately or alternately, such an appointment, in essence, differs little from the appointment of a complex homeopathic preparation of the same composition.

In favour of the use of complex homeopathic remedies, the fact that the formulations of these remedies are compiled based on frequently prescribed prescriptions, based on many years of experience of entire generations of homeopaths, can also speak. In general, when compiling complex homeopathic preparations, the following provisions are observed:

1. Drugs are combined, the main action of which extends not to the same, but different organs and tissues;
2. Drugs that act differently on the same organs and tissues are combined;
3. Do not combine medicinal substances, the pathogenetic picture of which is very close.

Summing Up

Summing up this review, it is worth noting that the dosages of homeopathic remedies are identical, both for mono preparations (consisting of one substance) and for complex preparations. Homeopathic dosages differ from conventional pharmacological ones and reflect a special drug preparation system — dynamization, which includes the steps of successive dilution of a unit of the active substance with a solvent, with a process of vigorous shaking after each dissolution. You can find on the packaging how many times the active ingredient is diluted.
