Homeopathy and Functional Medicine
Working on the principle that ‘like treats like’, homeopaths treat an illness with a medicine which produce similar symptoms in a healthy person. Using raw onion as an example: Raw onion makes eyes water and noses run among healthy people. A homeopathic remedy made from onion (allium cepa) is used to treat patients with watery eyes and runny noses caused by colds or hay fever.
The active ingredients in homeopathic remedies are given in highly diluted form to avoid toxicity and side effects. Because of this dilution, they are virtually 100% safe.
The remedies are prepared from the natural environment: from plants, minerals and animals. The active ingredients in homeopathic remedies are given in highly diluted form to reduce the potential for side effects. Because the treatments are repeatedly diluted, they are virtually 100% safe.
