Homeopathic Remedies Are Increasing In Popularity

By Veronica Tripplethorn

When something new is introduced to the public, it garners a lot of interest. This is especially true of the homeopathic remedies being prescribed during the 1700’s and 1800’s. Homeopathy for patients suffering diseases and illnesses was a new and brave concept.

It was also radically different than the medical procedures being performed at the time. But the fad began to fade as medical science began to make leaps and bounds into the pharmaceutical arena. It is only recently that herbal supplies and homeopathy have begun to experience a resurgence again, as people want to turn to nature to cure what ails them.

Natural Remedies For Ailments

So why are more and more people turning to homeopathic remedies? If you look closely at the time line of homeopathic products you will see a similar trend with all natural or organic foods.

During the 1960’s there was a movement to gain access to foods that were not contaminated with pesticides. The goal was to help more people "go organic." It was during this same time period that homeopathic practitioners began to push for natural remedies for ailments.

No Scientific Basis The Remedies Work

Trends are nothing new. You see them in fashion, movies, books and television. Homeopathic ingredients and an organic lifestyle are no different. The initial popularity in the late 1700’s was due to many medical practitioners veering away from leeching, blood letting or purging.

Thanks to Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, homeopathy was developed. But there is a problem with this line of medical research and practice. There really is no proof.

Homeopathic Dilutions

Dr. Samuel Hahnemann believed that a substance could be diluted down to the point where only the "essence" of the molecule of the substance remained. Modern physicians believe that this is simply hocus pocus and/or quackery at best.

The very idea that you could take a drop of a plant, mineral or oil and dilute it so much that it is practically non-existent goes against the laws of pharmacopoeia. Some compare homeopathic products to that of vaccines but a vaccine is not a cure for a condition, whereas these homeopathic dilutions are.

Ignoring The Laws Of Chemistry

The issue that chemists and doctors have with homeopathic remedies is that the laws of chemistry are almost completely ignored. Homeopathic practitioners claim to dilute their solutions by 1000’s of a percent.

The studies that have been performed have shown that there is essentially nothing besides water and/or alcohol in the preparation. It is a huge debate on whether or not the solution truly works or simply acts as a placebo. If you are interested in homeopathy, then your best bet may be to review your options and pick up some homeopathic books and research for yourself.
