The Idea of presenting the key Principles of Homoeopathy is to make our patients and readers aware that the treatment given by our doctors is based on scientific principles, which guide our doctors in providing treatment are discussed below :
Principle 1 : The law of similars or like cures like (The fundamental law of Homoeopathy).
“A Substance that can artificially produce certain disease like symptoms on a healthy person; only that substance can cure the similar symptoms when it is given to the patient in the form of Homoeopathic Medicine.”
Principle 2 : Single Remedy for Multiple Complaint.
“Treating a man as a whole with one single remedy which is most similar in all his sufferings”
Principle 3 : Individualisation.
“No two patients get same remedy even though they may be suffering from same disease.”
Principle 4 : Long Term Results.
“Treating your skin disorders and associating complaints with the application of creams or medicine that temporarily relieve symptoms but do not cure you internally is called supression. It leads to development of more serious illness in the future”
Principle 5 : Order of Healing.
“After any treatment, your health should not progress from milder illness to more severe illness. There is a defined order in which cure should happen as per the nature’s law.”
Principle 6 : The Minimum Dose.
“The Dose and Repetition of medicine has to be minimum to ensure that the treatment is safe and free from side effects.”
