It takes a different approach to treating sicknesses than conventional medicine. Conventional medicine treats disease by suppressing the symptoms or attempting to destroy the microbes associated with the condition. Homeopathy effects its cures by stimulating the body's own defenses against the illness. Homeopathic medicines are among the safest preparations known to medical science. They are mostly botanical in origin, and since only very small quantities are needed to stimulate the body's natural defenses, they are administered in the smallest dose possible.
Homeopathic medicines are remarkably free of side effects of any kind.
Homeopathic medicines are designed to enter the bloodstream directly through the mucus membranes of the mouth. This works best if the mouth is in its natural state, unaltered by food, beverages, or other external influences. Since homeopathic doses are very small, care should be taken to see they reach the mouth in as pure a state as possible. It is best to handle them as little as possible and slip them directly under the tongue. There are many conditions where no allopathic treatments exists, homeopathy can fill in the gaps where no conventional treatment is available.
