In this way it once again differs from conventional medicine which diagnoses the symptoms as the illness. In doing so, Homeopathy addresses the cures and the underlying cause. From the standpoint of Homeopathy, the name of the syndrome or illness is of no importance. The homeopathic approach recognizes that no two patients are alike regardless of the similarities in symptoms. Each case is unique.
Allopathy depends on knowing the cause of the illness and on being able to cure the cause.
Homeopathy does not need to know the name of the disease, or the name of the virus, bacteria, etc. All homeopathy needs to know is what the individual's body, in its intelligence, is attempting to do to expel the problem and cure the illness. Homeopathy understands that the body is doing the right thing but that when it is faced with a chronic condition, it needs assistance. The essence of Homeopathy is to stimulate the body's own vital force to produce a cure. Homeopathic remedies help the body to do what it is already doing.
