A Homeopathic Medicine is an amazing thing. It is chosen with careful thought and consideration of its action, it must precisely affect all the symptoms belonging to the patient be they physical, mental or emotional and be they chronic or acute. A Homeopathic Medicine is a single substance that if given in large doses would produce the very symptoms it is being used to treat. It is given in minute doses that have only a stimulating effect and not a toxic effect. It is an artificial dose of the same disease symptoms, and same symptom characteristics that are the body’s expression of the disease affecting the patient. It acts as an artificial disease, and if properly prescribed an even stronger artificial disease that causes the body to react now to its symptoms and it is that stronger reaction that is the healing response the Homeopath is helping to instill in the patient.
