What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicines based on the law of similars, “likes cures likes.”
Originated in Germany by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. Medicines are derived from natural sources like plants and minerals, are non toxic and are safe for all age groups. It stimulates your own defense mechanism.
Homeopathy treats each person individually when choosing the medicine, “No two individuals are alike”. Every individual’s response to stress and pathogens is different, and each person’s pattern of susceptibility to illness differs. Consideration of all patient’s physical, mental, and emotional states is the basis of prescription “constitutional medicine” for effective treatment.
How can homeopathy help you?
Under normal circumstances, your body’s built in a healing system works to create optimal health. Every minute of every day, every cell of your body tries to create a healthy balance called hemostasis, but stress, lifestyle, and environmental pollutants interfere with this process. This is when the symptoms and illness begin to occur.
The correct homeopathic medicines will act to stimulate and rebuild the body’s healing system and to restore a state of health rather than simply treat the symptoms.
Homeopathy differs from conventional medicine, which tends to suppress symptoms, often using high doses of drugs that can cause side effects.
Homeopathy is known to cure various types of chronic and acute ailments. It is suitable for all age groups, from infants to the elderly. All homeopathic medicines are safe, provided they are taken under the supervision of our homeopathic doctor. Furthermore, homeopathic remedies are not known to interfere with conventional medicine or any other medicine. In fact, they play a complementary role. You can safely take homeopathic medicine along with your medicine for blood pressure, thyroid, heart problems, diabetes, etc.

Homeopathy Treatment
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Children
A child’s brain is designed to absorb, observe and interpret ‘naturally’ occurring phenomena around them with boredom being a healthy necessity for mental development. Sadly, there is hardly any time allowed to be bored and life is a series of switching from one stimulation to another. Especially involving fast paced media on electronic devices.
Some of the important signs and symptoms of ADHD are:
-
- Seeming lost and not paying attention. Often daydreaming, or losing focus and being distracted easily.
-
- Impulsive behavior. The child does not think much before doing something against which they have been warned.
-
- Inability to be still for long. Being fidgety, occupied with some activity all the time, usually with switching from an activity to another.
-
- Not being able to keep track of their stuff like toys, belongings. Forgetting to do things.
-
- Being too talkative, intruding into conversations.
-
- Difficulty waiting their turn.
-
- Giving in to temptations too easily.
-
- Displaying risk-taking behavior.
Behavior and Conduct Disorders
Children go through ‘phases’ of development that involve misbehavior or unacceptable conduct, and these are considered a normal part of growing up. But when these behaviors do not improve or continue to get worse, they need treatment, and the psychosocial environmental triggers need to change for the child to adopt a healthier or more acceptable survival mechanism.
Common conduct disorders, especially found in teenagers:
-
- Problems with Academic Performance
-
- Risk Taking Behavior
Developmental Disorders
Each child is unique in their expression of health imbalance and needs individualized treatment. We do not just manage symptoms but actively work to improve general health, immunity, digestion, and development, thereby eliminating recurring symptoms. A big part of the treatment is focused on prevention rather than only ‘firefighting’ when the child is ill. Natural healing processes are encouraged so that the child reaches their full potential with a minimum need for chemical medications.
