Natural Remedies:
How Remedies Are Made
Homeopathic remedies are made from a mother tincture of the medicinal substance to be used. The source of the remedy may be a plant, mineral such as salt or gold, or animal such as the ink of the squid. This tincture is repeatedly diluted in highly purified water and shaken vigorously, a process called dilution and succussion. The more times the mixture is diluted and succussed, the more potent and deeper acting the medicine becomes. The process of dilution and succussion is highly regulated in Homeopathic pharmacies.
Remedy Potencies
The strength or potency of a Homeopathic remedy is designated by a number representing the number of times the tincture is diluted and succussed (shaken vigorously), followed by a Roman numeral that indicates the dilution ratio. For instance, a 30C potency is diluted 1:100 (C is for Centesimal) and succussed 30 times.
How Remedies Work
When a Homeopathic remedy is repeatedly diluted and succussed (agitated), the medicinal power of the substance used to make the medicine is activated and strengthened. This process is called "potentizing" or "dynamizing". As the solution is diluted, fewer and fewer of the original molecules of the substance remain.
Remedies are Energetic
Just as we don't know the mechanism of action of many pharmaceutical drugs, we still can only hypothesize about the way Homeopathic medicines work. It is thought that the energetic frequency of the substance used to make the medicine is stored in the water, even when no physical molecules of the substance exist and that this "energy of the remedy affects the electrodynamic field of the body". One theory is that when there is resonance between the remedy and the diseased state, the remedy's energy balances an energetic disturbance that has disrupted the body's healing system.
The Safety of Homeopathic Remedies
The production and sale of Homeopathic remedies are under the regulation of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Homeopathic remedies are medicines and must be used according to specific instructions. When properly prescribed and used, they are nontoxic and safe, even for pregnant women, infants and young children. Unlike allopathic drugs, there are no adverse side effects with Homeopathic medicines. |
