HOMOEOPATHY AND PAIN MANAGEMENT

          HOMOEOPATHY

What is Homoeopathy?

Homoeopathy is a unique therapeutic system of medicine formulated by german physician Dr.Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann on a definite law "SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURENTUR" which means "like cures like" in the year 1796.

                                              

Homoeopathy considers patient as sick individual in the first instance.

Homoeopathy considers man as whole i.e, his body and the life force while treating the patients.

“Treat the patient not the disease” is the theory of cure in Homoeopathy 

Homoeopathic treatment stimulates the natural defence mechanism of the body by producing curative reaction in the organism with the infinitesimal dose. Hence there are no dangerous side effects in homoeopathic treatment (almost none).
