Homeopathic medicines boost the immune system
________________________________________________
Changed lifestyles have been instrumental in affecting the immune system in a highly
negative way. The immune system is a complex arrangement that involves the liver,
spleen, thymus, the lymphatic system and bone marrow, which work in tandem to
maintain resistance to disease.
This immunity is partly inherited. It also depends upon the lifestyle that individuals
choose to adopt. The hurry with which we want to treat minor ailments is probably the
main reason behind frequent attacks of common cold and fu or an increased
susceptibility to disease.
Instead of waiting for the body to heal itself or looking for an antibiotic alternative like
an herbal antibiotic , the tendency is to rush to conventional antibiotics for quick relief.
In most of the cases, immune system health is compromised due to an excessive use of
antibiotics.
Moreover, an antibiotic ceases to be effective if it is taken without a proper diagnosis or
prescribed without determining the specific bacteria that has caused the disease. Ginger
and other dried herbs for immune system steeped in boiling water, for example, will
relieve symptoms of a sore throat, common cold while boosting the immune system
health.
Homeopathy provides another natural alternative to avoid indiscriminate use of
antibiotics. Homeopathy believes that the same substance that causes a disease will cure
it in its diluted form. For example, coffee leads to sleeplessness but an extremely diluted
remedy prepared from coffee itself will ultimately cure it. Some of the basic principles of
homoeopathy include:
* The foremost priority should be to boost the immune system so that the body can
heal by itself.
* Symptoms are manifestations of the body’s attempt to treat itself.
* Only natural substances and herbs should be used to prepare a homeopathic remedy.
* The focus of treatment should be on treating an individual as a whole, rather than
providing temporary and quick relief.
Homeopathic remedies stimulate the immune system to assist the body in repairing any
imbalances that may have occurred. The immune system has to be in perfect condition
to perform its functions. A hyperactive immune system will cause autoimmune diseases
like rheumatoid arthritis where the body starts attacking its own cells. A deficient
immune system, on the other hand, leads to deficiency diseases like common cold and
flu, often extending to more serious conditions.
In homeopathy, an appropriate remedy is selected on the basis of the constitution of
each individual after considering physical, mental and emotional symptoms. The
homeopathic Materia Medica contains a detailed description of each remedy meant for
possible characteristics that can be expected to be present in individuals. Nux vomica is
a constitutional remedy for energetic and ambitious people.
Sulphur, on the other hand, is meant for energetic but less practical individuals. A
Pulsatilla patient is one who is shy, kind and gentle and always ready to be led rather
than lead. Arsenicm album is indicated in an ambitious but tense person who is always
worried about health.
Homeopathic remedies are easy to take, non-habit forming, gentle, good value for
money and at the same time focus on strengthening the immune system to increase the
body’s capability of self-healing. Article courtesy of Native Remedies.
