Homeopathy is safe
Homeopathy is safe
Homeopathy is a very safe healing science. It is already in existence for more than 200 years and there have been published very few problems such as side effects, harm to organism and the like. There are a very few reports of harm due to homeopathic treatments. And mostly the negative effects that are described are not coming from the homeopathic treatment but as a consequence of not following regular medicine. The homeopathic treatment as such is not mentioned as harmful.
Information healing
The reason for the safety of homeopathy is that it is an information healing. Information as such has no effect, does not do anything. But people can react to information. They can become very emotional when reading a book or watching a movie. But the book and movie do not do anything, the people are doing something with the movie. Information leaves people free on how to react on the information.
Quality over quantity
There is no danger of overdosing homeopathic remedies. By accident, patients sometimes ingest a whole bottle instead of just a few granules or globuli of the remedy. This never leads to problems. That is also logical when one see remedies as information instead of substance. For normal substances the quality is very essential. For homeopathy it is about the quality.
No side effects
Basically side effects are not a theme in homeopathy. When there are adverse effects after a homeopathic prescription it means that the remedy was incorrect. More in general, side effects are a sign of incorrect medications or therapies. Homeopathic therapists are very alert on potential negative effects of their treatment. They are a sign that the prescribed remedy was incorrect. In essence homeopathy has no adverse effects. It can be that the correct is not found and the natural development of a disease is continued. A normal worsening of a disease process can be confounded with an aggravation of the therapy. But they are basically very different.
Beginning aggravation
This does not mean that there are no reactions on the homeopathic treatment. A well know reaction is the beginning aggravation. This is an aggravation of the symptoms after taking tee remedy. Mostly this reaction, a coyza or so, is short one to three days. Sometimes it is only a few hours or even minutes, sometimes it can last a bit longer, like a week. And the reaction is mostly milder, less severe and less threatening than the state of the disease itself. Typical for beginning aggravations is that they become less and less with each dose of the correct remedy.
The beginning aggravation can be seen as a clarification, which increases the awareness of the disease, the cause of it. It is like getting insight by looking in a mirror. It is like getting a map of the labyrinth of the disease.
Reactions
Sometimes homeopathic remedies can trigger reactions of the disease. It is a trigger of their own status. They often give clues abut the real state of the disease. This can also happen with dreams. But as explained above, the reactions are not the consequence of the remedy, but are reactions of the living being to the information. It is like an answer, a more clear expression to tell what is going on in them.
