Directory of homeopathic medicines for diseases. List of homeopathic remedies: treatment like like

Homeopathy is healing that focuses on the person, and not on the disease from which he suffers.

The list of homeopathic medicines used by doctors includes several thousand items, but several hundred are most often used.

Principles of homeopathy

The first principle is that like cures like.

The second is the effect of small doses. During the dilution stages, the potency of the medicine increases.

The third principle is that the strength of the drug increases during dilution by rubbing or shaking the substance at each stage of dilution.

The fourth is the mandatory determination of the constitutional type of a person.

Two similarities of homeopathy, on the basis of which treatment tactics are formed

The first is the similarity between the disease and the medicine. Wherein good treatment results are achieved by prescribing appropriate medications if available certain symptoms diseases.

The second is between the patient and the medicine. In this case, a specific medicine is prescribed to a patient with the corresponding constitutional type.

Treatment is especially effective when two similarities coincide.

Homeopathic constitution

The concept of a homeopathic constitution differs from general ideas about the constitution of people. Classic constitutional types include:

  • normosthenic;
  • hypersthenic;
  • asthenic.

In homeopathy they are supplemented with important details:

  • color differences of skin, hair, eyes;
  • wet or dry skin;
  • warmth or coolness of the extremities;
  • two- or one-sided blush of the cheeks.

This individualization and detailing of physical features characterizes the homeopathic constitution.

The behavior and psychological characteristics of the patient are also taken into account:

  1. The patient belongs to one of the psychotypes: sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic, melancholic.
  2. Type of person: artistic or thinking.
  3. It is necessary to clarify the details: favorite position in sleep, etc. The patient’s attitude to the moon, sun and various natural phenomena.

I consider what is highlighted necessary. The rest would be necessary if funds allow, because in homeopathy everything depends on the smallest symptoms. The selected medicines are polychrests - they act on everyone and do not depend on the individual’s characteristics!
We calculate the dilutions (very approximately) as follows: for acute diseases (just emerging) - low dilutions from 3 to 12; for chronic medium dilutions - from 30 to 100, for the psyche (and associated problems) high from 100 to 1000, etc. But keep in mind, the higher the dilution, the stronger and deeper it acts and the less often it needs to be taken.
It is best if you find yourself a homeopath of the classical school (monopreparations). You will be shocked by the effectiveness of homeopathy, believe me.

Application in medicine

Bryonia has been known since antiquity. It was used by Hippocrates and Dioscorus Jr. Galley recommended it for stomach diseases. Later, Ibn Sina used bryonia for epilepsy, dizziness, cough, spleen diseases and snake bites. Doctors of old times used fresh and dry root as a menstrual remedy for epilepsy, paralysis, dropsy, asthma, gout, and mental disorders. Externally - for rheumatic and edematous tumors, etc. (Hager).
Currently, it is not used by official medicine of the Soviet Union.

Application in homeopathy

Bryonia alba was introduced into homeopathy by Hahnemann in 1816, after tests he conducted. The pathogenesis of Bryonia is found in Volume II of Pure Medicine. Bryonia was subsequently retested by the Austrian Homeopathic Society on 18 individuals.
Before Hahnemann, Bryonia was used medicinally mainly as an emetic and laxative. Hahnemann made Bryonia one of the most valuable homeopathic remedies for the most various diseases. From the tests, an individual characteristic characteristic of Bryonia was revealed - improvement of pain at rest and from pressure, and worsening from movement. This feature formed the basis for a differential drug diagnosis. Using it, you can easily distinguish Bryonia from Rhus toxicodendron, which is similar in action. The cessation of pain from pressure when lying on the painful side and from a resting position indicates the presence of an inflammatory process, which is temporarily calmed by immobilization of the inflamed tissues. The ability of Bryonia to selectively act on serous, synovial membranes and fascia and cause serous-fibrinous effusion, makes this remedy useful in the treatment of inflammatory processes in the joints, in abdominal cavity, in the meninges, with dry and exudative pleurisy, with bursitis and tendovaginitis. Bryonia is one of the effective remedies for diseases respiratory tract, especially in lobar pneumonia, since it is known from Bryonia poisoning that it causes hepatization of the lungs. Bryonia, as a remedy that causes ulceration of the gastric and intestinal mucosa, is used in the treatment of patients with peptic ulcers.
During the typhoid fever epidemic in Leipzig in 1813, Bryonia, together with Rhus toxicodendron, was used to treat 183 patients with a 100 percent cure.

Application in medicine

Conium maculatum was known as a medicine as early as the 5th century BC. It was used in the 1st century AD for many diseases (Ibn Sina). In the 18th century it was widely used by Sterk in Austria, and in the 19th century by Harley in England. Hemlock was considered strong narcotic. It was given orally at OD-0.2-0.3 g as a resolving agent for scrofula, glandular tumors, cancer, as an analgesic, reducing convulsions, and also against sexual arousal (Hager). Due to the fact that Conium maculatum caused poisoning, its use in general medicine was discontinued.
APPLICATION IN HOMEOPATHY

Conium maculatum was introduced into homeopathy by Hahnemann in 1825. This remedy was thoroughly tested by him twice. The results of the first test are placed in “Pure Medicine”, the second - in “ Chronic diseases" Hahnemann became interested in the remedy because, from the works of the Austrian clinician Sterk, he knew cases of brilliant cures of seriously ill patients with the help of Conium, as well as cases of fatal poisoning caused by this remedy. Using Conium in small doses, Hahnemann began to obtain good results.

The pathogenesis of Conium is compiled on the basis of Hahnemann's tests and clinical observations of side effects him, and from the symptoms of human poisoning. Conium is a remedy that acts on the entire body. In homeopathy, Conium is considered a constitutional remedy, used mainly in the treatment of patients with chronic diseases. Clarke suggested calling Conium the “Aconite of Chronic Diseases.”

The characteristic symptoms established from the Conium trials are: dizziness when turning the head in bed and when looking at moving objects; sensation of paralytic weakness in the legs; sensation of pain in the apex of the left lung and sensation of a ball or lump in the throat, causing swallowing movements. Conium is one of the most commonly used remedies for painless hardening (induration) and enlargement of the glands: cervical, breast, ovaries, testicles, parotid, thyroid and prostate. With long-term use of Conium, tumors of the glands often resolve, and the development of malignant tumors slows down (Kent).

The absorbable effect of Conium on glandular and at the same time connective tissue has been used in the treatment of patients with the initial stage of sclerosis cerebral vessels. Conium gives improvement to patients in an advanced stage. Conium relieves spasms of the esophagus with difficulty swallowing and intestines with spasmodic colitis, as well as the sphincter Bladder with urinary retention. But indications for the use of Conium are also muscle weakness, paresis and paralysis.

Fresh thuja tops were used as a soothing, diaphoretic, diuretic and cough suppressant. Thuja tincture was used externally to lubricate flat condylomas and similar growths, as well as for rubbing in for rheumatic pain (Harger).
Thuja, as containing a volatile oil similar in action to turpentine and camphor, was used for rheumatism, gonorrhea, malaria, scurvy; it was used as a blood purifier and anthelmintic (E. Linn).
IN folk medicine Thuja shoots are used for liver and kidney stones and in general for liver and kidney disease, bladder disease, gout, rheumatism, dropsy, as an anthelmintic, against roundworms (M. A. Nosal and I. M. Nosal).
IN official medicine Thuja is not currently applicable.

Use in homeopathy Thuja occidentalis was introduced into homeopathy by Hahnemann in 1818. The test results are in Volume V of Pure Medicine. Hahnemann discovered that Thuja occidentalis, when taken internally for a long time, causes in some people catarrh of the mucous membranes with mucopurulent discharge, warts on the skin, and polyps and condylomas on the mucous membranes. Applying Thuja to patients with similar growths on the skin and mucous membranes, Hahnemann observed their disappearance. From these observations, Hahnemann came to the conclusion that Thuja could be used to treat patients with “sycosis.” By “sycosis” Hahnemann understood diseases resulting from chronic or hereditary gonorrhea. Hahnemann saw in gonorrhea, as well as in syphilis and psora (scabies), the root cause of all severe chronic suffering of mankind. We will not talk here about the fallacy of Hahnemann's views on gonorrhea and scabies from the point of view modern pathology, the only important thing for us is that Hahnemann correctly understood the role of deeply acting drugs in changing the reactivity of a chronically ill organism. The remedies he indicated - Thuja, Vlercurius and Sulfur - currently occupy the main place among constitutional remedies in homeopathy. To apply Thuja to patients, one must know the constitutional characteristics of Thuja type people.
By their nature, Thuja people are lively, hasty in their movements and actions, impatient, very emotional; they get angry over little things, while listening to music they can cry, their mood is often depressed, but there can also be quick transitions from melancholy to joy. They suffer from severe chilliness, aggravated by dampness. Their sleep is disturbed, especially in the second half of the night; they usually wake up at 3-4 o'clock in the morning, suffer from an influx of thoughts, and if they fall asleep, it is only in the morning. Their skin is seborrheic, oily, shiny, waxy, covered with pigment spots, and is easily susceptible to various rashes and the appearance of warts. By their constitution, these are lymphatics with reduced resistance to infections, with a tendency to skin, gouty and genitourinary diseases. Under the influence of the disease, they develop delusional and obsessive thoughts.

About the pseudoscience of homeopathy, it turned out that many people take homeopathic medicines and don’t even know about it.

The reason is simple: manufacturers carefully try to hide the essence of their crafts under scientific definitions and words. However, this is nothing new, because there have always been many opponents of empty drugs, and you can outwit them and sell them your drug only if you bashfully hide your face and call your drug not homeopathic, but simply supposedly with “low concentration.”

According to one of the experts who signed the anti-homeopathic memorandum of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the head of the Encyclopatia.ru project, neurologist Nikita Zhukov, people uselessly spend money on a number of widely used drugs in Russia.

First, let's talk about the so-called " hidden homeopathy”, which is trying in every possible way to hide its affiliation with homeopathy thanks to crooked formulations. However, it does not contain an active substance: in 100,000,000 tablets there is approximately one molecule of it or even less, since antibodies are very large protein molecules (homeopaths do not know this; they “cannot” study chemistry, physics and biology).

ANAFERON: prevention and treatment of ARVI; affinity purified antibodies to human interferon gamma – 0.003 g with a content of no more than 10–15 ng/g (nanograms of substance per gram of tablet). Included in the recommendations for the prevention of acute respiratory viral infections and influenza from 2007.

ARTROFUN: rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and other joint diseases; antibodies to human TNF-α at a dosage of 10–15 ng/g.

IMPAZA: treatment of impotence. Some pro-erection antibodies to endothelial NO synthase, affinity purified, in what dosage? Yes, yes, 10 −15 ng/g.

TENOTEN: sedative; antibodies to brain-specific protein S-100/Tenoten): oral antibodies in a dosage of 10–15 ng.

PROPROTENE-100: drug for the treatment of alcoholism; antibodies to the brain-specific protein S-100 at a dosage of 10 −1991 (!) ng/g.

KOLOFORT: treatment of IBS and other intestinal problems; antibodies to human tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) - 0.006 g, antibodies to brain-specific protein S-100 - 0.006 g, antibodies to histamine - 0.006 g are applied to lactose in the form of a mixture of three active aqueous-alcoholic dilutions of the substance, diluted respectively in 100 12, 100 30, 100 200 times.

The next group of drugs, theoretically, judging by calculations, may contain some amount of the active substance, but we will never know for sure. Manufacturers use homeopathic terminology and dilution methods (“D” with a digital index indicates the degree of dilution: D1 = 10, D2 = 100, D3 = 1000, etc.), which are not generally accepted and are not tested in any way. The main problem is that homeopathic medicines with the possible presence of some substances may have an undesirable effect, but no one has any idea what, since homeopathy is not a science and does not require scientific (or any other) testing of its medicines.

AFLUBIN: for the treatment and prevention of acute respiratory viral infections and influenza. Contains herbs (gentian, aconite, bryonia) in various dilutions, iron phosphate and lactic acid (also diluted) and ethyl alcohol in a normal concentration of 43%. Included in the 2007 influenza treatment guidelines.

VIBURCOL: antipyretic and anti-inflammatory agent in the treatment of respiratory diseases in children. Contains chamomile, belladonna, nightshade, lumbago, plantain and Hannemann carbonated lime ( Calcium carbonicum Hahnemanni, “In homeopathy, carbonated lime obtained from oyster shells is used. The carbonated lime obtained in this way is not chemically pure, but, nevertheless, cannot be replaced by any other preparations, since it was with this kind of lime preparation that Hannemann carried out his experiments."

You can buy this amazing substance separately. What’s most interesting is that the stronger the dilution, the less substance there is and... the more expensive it is! Ideal business.

GENTOS: from cystitis and prostatitis. Trees are also used: poplar, sabal (such a palm tree), as well as hemlock, iron picrate and potassium iodide, of course, in dilutions and with the most important active component- 43% ethanol.

INFLUCID: from ARVI and influenza. Aconite, gelsemium, emetic root, steppe, sable and phosphorus. Herbs are herbs, but you can read about homeopathic phosphorus in a collection of jokes.

MASTODINON: for the treatment of fibrocystic mastopathy, which usually does not require treatment. Contains herbs (twig, cohosh, violet, pearwort, iris, lily) in different dilutions.

PUMPAN: homeopathic cardiology ( ischemic disease heart failure, arrhythmias). Contains hawthorn, ram, lily of the valley, foxglove and potassium carbonate.

REMENS: PMS, menopause, amenorrhea and other gynecological things. Contains black cohosh, pilocarpus, sanguinaria plants, plus something “lachesis” from the venom of a South American snake, cuttlefish ink. The further, the more scientific, you can’t say anything.

TRAUMEL S: for fractures, dislocations and other minor issues such as arthritis and bursitis. A whole bouquet of herbs: calendula, arnica, witch hazel, yarrow, St. John's wort, belladonna, wrestler, chamomile, comfrey, daisy, echinacea, plus mercury oxide named after Hannemann himself (Mercurius solubilis Hahnemanni) and something completely magical: calcareous sulfur liver (Hepar sulphuris calcareum), “a mixture of equal parts of oyster shell ground into fine powder and pure sulfur powder is kept in white heat for 10 minutes.” If so, then you might go crazy laughing.

CINNABSIN: treatment of sinusitis. Two herbs (goldenseal, echinacea) and two magic ingredients: mercury sulfide, potassium dichloride.

ENGISTOL: such an immunomodulator for the treatment of any inflammatory and infectious diseases. Contains three different dilutions of the herb with the cool name “swallow swallow” and two dilutions of sulfur.

And now classical homeopathy - super pacifiers, the manufacturers of which do not hide the fact that there is nothing inside.

AGRI: homeopathic antigrippin; contains the herbs aconite, belladonna, steppe, lumbago, plus the above-mentioned sulfur liver, iron phosphate and (the most interesting) arsenic iodide, more details - be careful, nonsense. Included in the 2007 influenza treatment guidelines.

OSCILLOCOCCINUM: a true standard. Are there still people who have not heard about the discovery of parallel universes by homeopaths? So: the drug contains the liver of a certain Barbary duck unknown to biologists (perhaps this is a real Muscovy duck) in such a dilution that, most likely, it exists somewhere in a parallel world. The drug was included in the recommendations for the treatment of influenza from 2007.

STODAL: cough suppressant. Contains a whole ecosystem: lumbago, sorrel, steppe, emetic root, sundew, burnt sea sponge (Spongia marina tosta), Cochineal mealybug (an insect), Lobaria pulmonata lichen and some (apparently, original content) “myocarde”.

The most important thing: if you were ever “helped” by any of these drugs, then it was a 100% placebo effect. You can continue to use them at your own risk, but they have nothing to do with medicine. All uses of the word “contains” are metaphors.

Nowadays, there are many alternative treatments to traditional medicine. People turn to unconventional methods treatment with homeopathic medicines, when disease prevention does not produce results and it is not possible to heal the body through prescriptions using traditional medicines. One of the treatment methods that differs from traditional ones is homeopathy.

What is homeopathy

The foundations of homeopathy were laid more than two hundred years ago, but homeopathy was officially recognized as a healing method only recently - at the end of the 20th century. Homeopathic treatment is a method that uses preparations containing very small doses of active ingredients. These active substances in large doses cause symptoms similar to those of the disease that needs to be cured. Homeopathic method literally stands for “disease-like.” This name was determined by the German homeopathic physician and pharmacist Hahnemann.

How drugs are made

The method of preparing a homeopathic remedy is based on repeated dilution of the active substance in a neutral solution to a concentration that will have healing effect. High dilution leads to the fact that the solution with the substance becomes absolutely safe, since the concentration of the substance is selected in the minimum amount necessary for treatment. The raw materials from which homeopathic medicines are made can be:

  • plants;
  • mushrooms;
  • minerals;
  • animals;
  • poisons and concentrated substances secreted by living organisms.

Dilution technology often involves the use of decimal and hundredth dilutions, which are designated as follows:

  • decimal: 1X or D1, 2X or D2, 3X or D3, 6X or D6, and according to the same principle - 12X-12, 24X-D24;
  • hundredths: 1 or C1, 3 or C3, 6 or C6, 12 or C12, 30 or C30, 200 or C200.

The dilution process itself, which reflects the basic principles of homeopathy, is called potentization or dynamization. A simple decimal solution is made as follows: one part of the original substance is mixed with nine parts of the solvent and stirred ten times. This is how breeding occurs until the required potency is achieved. With centesimal potentiation, one part of the substance is mixed with 99 parts of the solvent. For example, the designation C3 means that during the dynamization process the main substance was diluted 100 times three times.

How homeopathy works

Many people may mistakenly believe that all methods that do not fit into the classification modern medicine, are homeopathic. Herbal medicine may be mistakenly considered, i.e. treatment with herbal medicines, homeopathy. In herbal medicine, treatment occurs through the use of plant substances in high concentrations. The principle of action of such drugs is more similar to the principle of action of constitutional drugs of evidence-based medicine. Classical homeopathy is distinguished by the following features:

  • use for treatment of substances that in large doses cause similar symptoms to the disease;
  • treatment with solutions containing a critically small part of the active substance, i.e. potentized solutions;
  • drug testing is carried out on healthy people;
  • there are individual characteristics of the treatment of the disease (the use of different concentrations in a particular case);
  • the safety of the resulting medications - tablets, solutions, ointments, granules, since they contain herbal, natural origin And low concentrations components;
  • the rarity of side effects in patients;
  • individual treatment plans.

Homeopathy treatment

Homeopathic medicines are used to treat a variety of diseases and are aimed at curing the person, rather than treating the disease. Traditional medicine often explains the effect of homeopathic medicines as a placebo effect, but the list of diseases that can be cured by homeopathy shows the opposite. The effectiveness of homeopathy is observed in the treatment of:

  • acute diseases of the ENT organs;
  • disorders of the digestive system;
  • vegetative-vascular dystonia;
  • neurotic disorders;
  • diseases of the reproductive system, mammary glands in women, prostatitis in men.

Homeopathic medicines show their effectiveness when severe pain head, allergic reactions. If you use this technique to treat influenza, acute respiratory infections, the disease goes away faster, and the body needs less time to heal. full recovery. Even diseases that have become chronic can be treated with the right method, dilution and dosage regimen. It is important to know that self-medication with homeopathic tablets is often not effective if treatment is carried out without a doctor’s prescription, as with the use of allopathic drugs.

Homeopathic medicines

Common list homeopathic medicines are divided into:

  • drops and solutions;
  • creams and ointments;
  • pills;
  • granules.

Also, homeopathic medicines are divided into groups depending on the scope of application, composition (dilutions), chemical substances included in the composition. The Directory of Homeopathic Medicines will help with the choice of medicine to provide the correct medical care a patient who does not respond to traditional medications and has to resort to homeopathy.

Drops and solutions

Homeopathic drops and solutions of plant and mineral origin are used to treat chronic diseases of the nose, throat, vegetative-vascular dystonia and immune diseases. Drops and solutions are prepared using low dilutions and are often single-component preparations. Popular drops and solutions include: the following drugs:

  1. Euphorbium Compositum - drops with a dilution of D4 components, which are used for a runny nose to moisturize the mucous membrane. Uses instead vasoconstrictor drops for children. Pros – moisturizes mucous membranes, fights allergic processes. The disadvantages include ineffectiveness for serious exacerbations of sinusitis.

An undoubted advantage of the medicine is that it contains natural ingredients that are hypoallergenic. Based on reviews, no cons were identified.

Ointments and creams

Nowadays, homeopathic ointments and creams are produced under the same conditions as traditional medicine creams. All stages of production, raw materials and technology undergo appropriate testing, so this modern ointments you can safely trust.

  1. Calendula ointment - used to treat skin lesions. Effectively heals wounds, treats diaper rash and cracks. A significant advantage of the drug is its completely natural composition, high efficiency. Cons - not used to treat infected, purulent wounds.
  2. Arnica ointment - used for rapid resorption of hematomas and elimination of swelling. Allowed for use by children. Minus - it may not be effective for severe bruises with deep wounds.

Homeopathic tablets

Externally, homeopathic tablets cannot be distinguished from tablets made according to traditional medicine recipes. The composition of such medicines carefully selected to facilitate the course of administration and make it habitual, as in treatment using traditional medicine - 3-4 times a day. The main advantage of such tablets is the minimum risk to the patient’s health.

  1. Bronchostat - homeopathic cough tablets. The drug is used to treat bronchitis, exacerbation of the disease and cough due to colds. The main advantage of the medicine is that it helps well in complex homeopathic therapy of bronchitis, has small price and tastes good. Disadvantages - can only be used by children over 5 years old; an allergic reaction is possible.
  2. Avia-More - tablets for motion sickness based on natural ingredients, pleasant to the taste and at an affordable price.

  3. Angin-Hel SD - tablets for the treatment of tonsillitis. Well suited for preventing exacerbations of tonsillitis, increasing local mucosal immunity. Disadvantages - not suitable for treatment of exacerbation of tonsillitis.

Granules

The medicinal form of granules and powders is the very first form of homeopathic medicines. This is what they looked like 100 years ago. Nowadays, homeopathic granules have remained practically unchanged appearance, but its composition is much safer and more effective than those previously used.

  1. Badyaga computer – homeopathic granules, the main component of which is badyaga (a substance of animal origin that is made from freshwater sponges). Drug Badyaga comp. used to treat neurocirculatory dystonia. Pros - can be used even for children, cons - allergic reactions are possible.
  2. Aloe-plus - granules based on natural juice aloe. The drug is intended for the treatment of constipation, including chronic constipation. Among the advantages - it has a mild effect and does not cause side effects. Disadvantage: it may not be effective in advanced cases; it cannot be found in all pharmacies.

Price of homeopathic medicines

Compared to allopathic medicines, homeopathic medicines are reasonably priced. The cost of such a medicine may be inflated due to the rare component in the composition, or due to the popularity of its manufacturer. On average, the price of homeopathic medicines does not exceed 500 rubles per unit.

Video

Today we can talk about a steady increase in demand for various homeopathic medicines. The explanation for this phenomenon lies in the overdoses that occur, as well as poisoning with traditional medicines. As an alternative to chemical drugs, consumers began to turn their attention to natural, natural medicines.

The modern market offers homeopathic remedies for all existing diseases. The quality and effectiveness of these natural preparations are confirmed by the international certificates and diplomas attached to them.

The emergence of homeopathy

In the history of medicine there is information about the possibility of treating like with like. Even Hippocrates considered this principle one of the main components of medical practice. However, only after several centuries did these approaches begin to be used in medicine.

The term “homeopathy” was first introduced in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann. This German doctor, in the work he wrote, outlined new approach to research practice, as well as the prescription, use and manufacture of medicines that were not within the scope of traditional pharmacy.

The essence of homeopathy

What is this teaching and what is its main task? Homeopathy is one of the areas alternative medicine. Doctors who follow its principles use highly diluted drugs to treat patients. What is their purpose? capable of causing healthy person the manifestation of symptoms similar to those of a particular disease. At the same time, the main principle of this direction comes to work, which states that like can only be cured by like. By prescribing this or that natural remedy, the doctor strives to get his patient back on his feet in the shortest possible time.

Difference from pharmacological

How do natural remedies differ from conventional medicines that are offered to us in pharmacies? The action of medications used in traditional medicine is not aimed at treatment, but at eliminating the main symptoms of the disease. The homeopathic medicine taken by a person has a completely different effect. What does it mean? This medicine will not remove a symptom that is not a disease at all, but only its manifestation. It will only support the body, which itself knows how to eliminate pathology; in the fight it will give new strength for the emergence of a full-fledged response to the disease. This will speed up the entire treatment process.

In other words, the homeopathic remedy plays the role of a specific signal. It modifies or triggers human health without exhibiting a direct bactericidal, virusostatic or other effect.

What is included in homeopathic medicines

You can purchase natural alternative medicine in pharmacies. At the same time, the list is quite extensive, and the price is quite reasonable. However for effective use of these drugs, you need to have an idea of ​​their uniqueness and the differences that they have in comparison with traditional medicines.

Many people believe that the composition contains only plants. However, it is not. Many other products are also used to produce these products. biological materials. Among them are organs and tissues of mollusks, insects and animals, as well as metals and mineral elements.

Production of homeopathic medicines

Cooking these natural remedies has a complex and very confusing technology, consisting of alternations, shaking, weighing and dilution. All medicines included in the list of homeopathic medicines are obtained by repeated dilution of the main substance. This process is carried out in water or alcohol, which act as solvents. This is then followed by grinding the resulting substance naturally.

Different types of dilution can be used in the process when preparing a homeopathic medicine. What does it mean? A dilution of 10 times is indicated by the symbol “D”, and a dilution of 100 times by “C”. Each of these types indicates the content in the solution active substance.

Breeding is carried out repeatedly. For example, each subsequent “D” solution will contain ten times less active substance than the previous one, and “C”, respectively, one hundred.

The standard list of homeopathic medicines includes remedies in medium and low dilutions. However, sometimes you can find medications that contain very little active substance. When creating them, a high (C30) degree of dilution was used.

Release form and use

The standard list of homeopathic medicines includes remedies for internal use, made in the form of granules and extracts. The latter form is considered the most effective in its effect on the body.

Before taking homeopathic medicines, the list and description of these natural remedies must be studied. This will help you choose the right direction of treatment and get rid of the disease faster.

Homeopathic medicines are universal. They can be used not only for oral administration, but also for making compresses, rinses and lotions. Homeopathic specialists talk about the complete safety of the drugs they recommend. The action of these natural medicines will not cause side effects and allergic reactions. Overdose is also impossible with their use. In this regard, homeopathic medicines are prescribed to patients of any age, including newborns. They will not harm pregnant women, nursing mothers, or the elderly.

Classification

Homeopathic remedies of domestic production are divided into two large groups:

Monocomponent;

Multicomponent or complex.

The first type of homeopathic remedies is prescribed only by a doctor in the appropriate field. The specialist will write a prescription based on the individual characteristics of the patient.

Complex drugs are often prescribed by traditional medicine doctors as general tonic natural supplements. You do not need a prescription to purchase these medications.

Cold treatment

Getting rid of a runny nose or flu using homeopathic remedies is not at all difficult. A properly selected drug will improve health within a few days after the onset of the disease.

When prescribing the right remedy, the homeopathic doctor pays attention to the patient’s specific symptoms. In addition, the specialist places a certain emphasis on individual characteristics sick. All these factors together lead to the fact that a doctor may prescribe different homeopathic remedies for different patients suffering from a cold or flu. Let's look at some of them.

Thus, during the onset of the disease, when pain occurs in the throat area, muscle weakness and extreme fatigue appear, accompanied by elevated temperature, a homeopathic remedy such as Gelsemium is often prescribed. It should be taken every two hours. Recovery may occur on the same day.

In more severe forms of the disease, when viscous yellow mucus forms in the ears and paranasal sinuses, it is recommended to take a remedy such as Kalibich along with the medicine Gelsemium. These homeopathic remedies for colds should be taken ten minutes apart.

If dry skin develops and gets worse at night, it is recommended to take a homeopathic remedy such as Bryonla. This will eliminate the need to use antibiotics.

However, the doctor, based on the patient’s specific symptoms, may prescribe other homeopathic medicines that will produce the maximum effect in each specific situation. The right medicine will help you get rid of them already on the first day of their manifestation.

Hormonal drugs

What are the main causes of cysts? thyroid gland, mastopathy, uterine fibroids, infertility, nodular goiter? The appearance of these pathologies occurs due to an imbalance in the body.

The balance of hormones in women is disrupted by pregnancy and menstrual cycles, as well as breastfeeding. Pathology can be caused by stress and poor nutrition. Some hormone-dependent diseases also occur in men. They just happen much less frequently.

Regular doctors treat a specific organ. However, the cause of the pathology itself is not eliminated. A large number of hormonal drugs are prescribed pharmacological agents, which create even more disturbances in the body.

How to regulate the functioning of all glands and organs? To do this, it is recommended to take homeopathic remedies. They will effectively and quickly get rid of the pathology and will not cause any side effects. The list of such remedies includes: Sepia and Lanchesis, Actea racemosa, Glonoin and many others. But it is worth remembering that the specific drug for the patient must be prescribed by a doctor. This will allow you to eliminate the existing problem as effectively as possible.

Natural remedies for allergies

Today, a large number of people suffer from this pathology. Some of them feel the symptoms of the disease only during a certain period of the year, while for others the disease has already entered the chronic stage.

Treatment is based on the general principle of this direction. It says that like is cured by like. Application of traditional medications turns out to be ineffective. They only relieve the main symptoms without bringing complete recovery. In contrast, homeopathic medicines:

Not addictive;

Allow the body to develop resistance to allergens;

Do not require dose increase.

In the fight against allergies, a specialist may recommend the following homeopathic remedies:

Allium flail;

Ambrosia artemifolia;

Apis mellifica;

Arum triphyllum, etc.

Independent selection of a remedy is possible only in case of minor allergic reactions. At the same time, the absence positive result will indicate that the choice of drug was made incorrectly.
