There are many people who have heard the word homeopathy but have no idea of what homeopathy means and why they only hear about in relation to alternative medical practices. In this short introduction homeopathy your questions will be answered. In one sentence “Homeopathy is the practice of creating infusions from various compounds in order to relieve medical symptoms”

While this definition is accurate, it may still leave you with the un-answered question of what is homeopathy exactly.

So, lets start this short introduction to homeopathy?

The process by which herbal or medicinal infusions are created in order to resolve specific medical symptoms is the science or pseudoscience, as some call it, of homeopathy. A practitioner of homeopathic medicine is an individual who is trained in the creation of such infusions. They will know what medicines and herbal compounds need to be combined in order to create the infusion and they will know the process by which an infusion is created.

An infusion is created by taking a particular compound that has been blended for both the individual and the symptoms that are present. This compound is then placed within a solution, and it is shaken. This shaken solution is then diluted and the process is repeated as many as 12 times before, the infusion is ready. Usually infusions are diluted no less than six times and no more than 12.

The reason for each dilution process is the fact that there is the belief that the herbal compounds during each one of the dilution and shaking processes releases any particular essence into a solution. It is this essence that is said to promote healing and relieve the symptoms. It is primarily because of this philosophy and the scientific evidence that shows that homeopathic infusions are primarily inert containing none of the original herbal compound or so little compound as to be unnoticeable.

This has placed homeopathic medicine and into the realm of pseudoscience and other alternative medical practices, there are many qualified physicians who also have studied homeopathy and do practice both disciplines. Always do a search on the internet about homeopathic practitioners, this way you will know immediately when there are any complains. This ends our short introduction homeopathy, in the coming weeks we will go more in to dept with homeopathy.
