Homeopathy is Natural
Self healing science
Homeopathy is a natural healing art. It is natural because it restores the natural healing capacity of the body. Every body heals itself, it is the natural ability of life. When one cuts oneself the cut is healed in a week or so. If one eats poisonous food the body gets rid of it in the urine, or in the form of diarrhoea or when it is worse in the form of vomiting. The healthy state gets restored by itself, by the self-healing ability of all living creatures. Homeopathy signals the plant, animal or human what is wrong so that the healing process is fastened. The toxins are expelled more easily.
When there is a chronic disease the natural healing process is blocked. A good homeopathic remedy shows the organism what the blockage is, so that the organism can let the blockage go. After that the healing process is again taking over and the healthy state gets restored.
Natural healing
With homeopathy the healing process goes by itself. It feels so natural that one hardly notices it. One experiences the changes and amelioration, but one hardly attributes it to the homeopathic medicine. The patient mostly has the feeling that he does the healing himself. And that is true. It is the natural healing capacity that takes care of the healing. The homeopathic remedy only shows in the innate healing force how to do it, how the dissolve the blockage.
Natural substances
Homeopathy is also natural because it uses mostly natural substances. homeopathic remedies are made from minerals, plants and animals as they are present in nature. They are not artificially altered or analysed, but used as a whole. There are not chemical substances extracted form plants to use for treatment.
There are exceptions though. Medicines from normal medicine are also used from time to time, but them mostly to counteract the toxic effects form the normal medicinal use. Medicines can be toxic or have negative side effects. In those cases a homeopathic preparation of those medicines is used to help the organism to get rid of those toxic effects.
Historical
Homeopathy is a very old science. Hippocrates, a Greek doctor living 400 years before Christ, already mentions the basic principle of homeopathy: one has to give a remedy that produces an intoxication state similar to the disease of the patient. His often called the father of healing sciences. Paracelsus, a famous physician living in the 16th century, used the same principle in his healing practice. And Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, placed the similia principle central in his healing science.
Self
Homeopathy is natural in the sense that it helps people to become more themselves. Homeopathic therapy brings patients back to to oneself, their true self, their real self. That is what patients regularly tell, that they are more themselves after a good remedy. They are more central in themselves. This is an expressions of being less occupied by duties and ideas that are not themselves, that have been inherited on are imprinted on them. The patient becomes more free instead of being limited by foreign roles and states of being.
