Information and Properties of Homepathic Drugs
People who receive homeopathy treatment or who do not receive homeopathy treatment need information about homeopathic remedies. In this article, we will try to give you detailed information about homeopathic medicines.
Homeopathic medicines are made using many substances found in nature. Therefore, they are natural medicines. For example; snake venoms are produced using animal substances and some tissues. Hahnemann, the doctor who found homeopathy treatment, found more than 2000 homeopathic medicines and prepared them. The medicines were first tested on healthy people over long periods of time and the results were recorded in a book called Materia Medica. At first, Hahnemann and his 150 or so expert friends tried the medicines on themselves to understand their effects. They studied and recorded the effects of the medicines for a long time.
Should homeopathic remedies be taken on a full stomach or on an empty stomach? The answer to the question is that often these medicines should be taken on an empty stomach. You should not eat, drink any liquids or brush your teeth half before or half after taking the medicine. If the medicine is in diluted form or dripped, it should be taken in a plastic spoon. In addition, the medicine should be taken directly into the mouth without touching it.
It is not recommended to use homeopathic medicines before menstruation and during menstruation. It is recommended to use after menstruation is over. Before using the drug in nursing mothers, it is absolutely necessary to inform the homeopath who prepares the drug. Because all kinds of substances can easily pass from breast milk to the baby. Diluted medicines should not be used in pharmacies and while traveling. Diluted water should be stirred continuously. Therefore, the potency of the medicine may vary continuously. In classical homeopathic treatments, the drug should be taken in accordance with the recommendations of the homeopath, not only according to the drug used, but also due to the dose to be taken.
What are the Properties of Homeopathic Medicines?
The most important feature of homeopathic medicines is that they are heavily diluted. It consists of animal substances, plants, minerals. Human body tissues affected by these substances activate the substances. When the medicine is diluted, after a certain stage the main substance of the medicine is almost completely lost. Only a very, very small part of it remains. This remaining substance is the spirit and energy of the medicine. It follows from this that if a small amount of medicine given to a healthy person has effects similar to those produced by a small amount of medicine given to a sick person, this means that it can cure them. If the medicine given to the patient is correct, it makes the patient feel better, certain complaints disappear, and the body’s defense system is strengthened.
Pay Attention to Homeopathy Treatment
The duration of treatment varies from patient to patient. In acute diseases, the treatment responds very quickly. However, if the disease to be treated is a chronic disease, the treatment will take longer and detailed research will be required for the mixture to be used. Since the recovery period will vary in each patient, people should be patient in this regard. Most importantly, patients should know that they are being treated in the most natural ways and that they will not encounter any side effects. This gives them a separate strength and determination to heal.
What should be considered during treatment?
During homeopathy treatment, products containing menthol, toothpastes for adults and chewing gum should be avoided.
Sage, peppermint, rosemary tea, chamomile eucalyptus oil and finally camphor-containing creams should be avoided during the treatment period. Coffee should be avoided, because substances with a strong odor, such as coffee, reduce or completely eliminate the effect of homeopathic remedies.
If the remedy is not to be used immediately, it should be stored in a cool place out of the light.
