World Homeopathy Day, celebrated on 10th April, is a day when the revolutionary Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the father of Homeopathy was born. It has a come long way since its inception and has flourished and blossomed beautifully.
Over the years, even the medical field has undergone a tremendous revolution with advances in technology, research, and clinical practice which are meant to significantly improve patient care and outcomes. With technologies such as minimally invasive surgical procedures and robotic surgery shooting up, ideally, the quality of healthcare should be top-notch. But are people really getting healthier? Is the QOL really rising? Or do we just look at the numbers, if only longevity is concerned? Having a healthier life is far more essential than a longer one.
During the time of discoveries of newer antibiotics, gene therapies, and immunotherapies, how does a 250-year-old science, Homeopathy still stay relevant? Are these humble sugar pills really competent enough? It’s a simple Yes. Although an ancient science, Homeopathy stands just as tall today as it did during the time of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the father and the discoverer who ensured that this art and science are based and fundamental laws and principles for people to believe and experience in its curative powers.
In this era of fourth and fifth-generation antibiotics being researched and at a time when germ theory is still prevalent, Homeopathy stands out as it works on the dynamism, vitality, or the life force of an individual.
The mind-body connection is being studied a lot lately and efforts are being attempted toward the healing of the mind for the healing of the body. Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the visionary that he was, had proven that knowing and perceiving, and treating the mind of the patient is the key to cure.
Homeopaths have been working on this, practicing and prescribing precisely on the mental symptoms and bringing about cures in the most impossible conditions like auto-immune diseases, cancers, genetic diseases, infections, lifestyle disorders, etc., and more.
Homeopaths are the only physicians that prescribe based upon the psyche of the individual. Homeopathy can touch the core of the patient and treat at all the levels- body, mind and spirit or the soul. It is this how homeopathy can treat incurable diseases by unraveling the mind and bringing about an equilibrium in the faculties of mind as well as the homeostasis of the physical body.
Patients on homeopathy vouch for its efficacy after having a first-hand experience and insist their friends and families turn to Homeopathy for treatment. Homeopathy is now a multi-billion-dollar industry in the US alone and is giving relief to millions of adults as well as kids worldwide. Indian markets for Homeopathy have crossed 12 billion too and is estimated to be around 135 billion globally.
Homeopathy is considered under holistic health and people are now largely aware and turning toward alternative and holistic treatment. Yoga, mindfulness, acupuncture, Ikigai etc. are all contributing towards holistic health but Homeopathy is the only science that offers medicines that are quick-acting, safe and natural and that assist the body towards natural healing.
The teachings of Master Hahnemann, the propagation of Homeopathy by the stalwarts like Kent, Boenninghausen, Close, Jahr, and closer home Drs Phatak, Banerjee, Sehgal, etc. and many such geniuses have taken Homeopathy higher through their teachings, with their miracle cures and their staunch dedication towards Homeopathy.
Homeopathy is the longest-established CAM (Complementary and Alternative medicine) and has now over 200 million followers worldwide, with a spectacular rise in honest practitioners and loyal patients who have immense faith in Homeopathy for their commonest problems to the most chronic and incurable diseases.
As all good things do, Homeopathy too, faced opposition and was subject to opposition. But the laws and principles make Homeopathy strong and resilient.
To summarize, Homeopathy is an art and science which is holistic and natural. The physician considers a person’s body, mind, and spirit while dispensing medicines that are effective in treating diseases, as simple as the common cold to as difficult as cancer and autoimmune diseases.
The very foundation of Homeopathy is based on natural laws which make it undisputable and undeniably the best, safest, and most scientific system of medicine.
So, this World Homeopathy Day, let us all pledge to be wiser in our choice of treatments, let us explore the miracle science of Homeopathy, and let us spread awareness to our near and dear ones to give Homeopathy a try for their physical as well as mental illnesses.
