Apart from the obvious benefit to the patient, the burden is eased at home for the harassed mother, absence from class and games is lessened at school, and a great saving of work-hours is effected by reduced absenteeism through sickness. The investigation and treatment of established disease should, of course, be in the hands of fully qualified physicians. But prompt aid is often called for in cases of illness or accident in home, school, office, factory and other spheres of activity, such as travel and sport. Such aid can, as a rule, be most effectively supplied by homoeopathy, and without the risks inseparable from the employment of many of the "popular" modern drugs, which carry risk of causing serious side-effects.

To gain an appreciation of how to administer Homeopathic remedies for either treating yourself , or friends or family. You must first understand what homeopathy is, and the laws of its application.

What is Homeopathy ?

Although it was first described by Hippocrates 2.500 years ago. homoeopathy as it is practised today evolved 200 years ago. The word comes from the Greek and means "similar suffering". This refers to the centra! philosophy that a substance that can produce symptoms in a healthy person, can cure those symptoms in a sick person. For example a person suffering from hayfever might be given a remedy prepared from an onion, because a healthy person chopping an onion usually experiences watering eyes and irritation. However, the substances are given in minute doses to avoid unwanted
side-effects, making them safe to use even in situations where conventional drugs would be dangerous or inadvisable (e.g. during pregnancy; when treating infants).

Before you begin to prescribe

There are two important laws that you need to follow to use homoeopathic medicines successfully:

The Law of Similars means
matching the symptom picture of an illness or injury to the symptom picture of the remedy. To help you do just that. this section is divided into two sections with complaints you can treat at the front and a glossary of remedies. This describes, briefly, the symptom picture of 36 frequently-needed remedies. Begin by looking up the complaint you want to treat and noting which remedies may help. Next. before prescribing, turn to the glossary of remedies and see which description most closely fits the person you are treating.

The Law of the Minimum dose means
using as little of a medicine as possible to stimulate the body's own healing mechanism.
Give one dose (in this case one small pill) and wait to see what relief it brings. If things begin to improve do not repeat the dose. unless the case stops improving before a full recovery is reached or the same symptoms return (i.e. the case relapses). If the symptoms change significantly, select a new remedy to fit the new picture. If in any doubt, wait. Giving the body more medicine than it needs will not improve or speed up the action of the medicine. If anything it may stop the medicine from being effective.

By using these two laws homoeopathy provides a completely individual prescription and dosage that treats each person's disease as unique to them. it sees symptoms as warning signs of a central disturbance or imbalance within the sufferer. By restoring this inner balance, homoeopathy makes the symptoms unnecessary and so they disappear.
