Homie - o - what?

                                                                                        Homie - o - what?

HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE is natural medicine that has a high quality evidence base (randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses) for the treatment of Diarrhoea[1] and Ear infections in children;[2] [3] Hay fever,[4] [5] Menopause[6] [7] and Vertigo.[8] 


Homeopathic medicine is a branch of medical science based on the principle that disease can be combated through strengthening the immune system with substances selected for their energy giving properties.
 

Homeopathic medicine recognises mental, emotional and physical symptoms, and has a systematic way of utilizing a symptom via a rubric.  A rubric is a clinically verified symptom found in the repertory -an index of homeopathic medicines by symptom.  Repertorization, the process of translating symptoms into clinically usable data, is a scientific, systematized standard unique to homeopathic medicine.

 
Homeopathic medicines are prescribed in accordance with clinically verified symptoms - repertorization - not on the indication that X medicine is known to assist with X condition so therefore might help Mr X’s problem – which is standard practice in all other systems of medicine.
 

Homeopathic medicine is patient-centric.  For example, four year old triplets Tim, Tommy and Tony were diagnosed with chronic diarrhoea.  Tim had diarrhoea, extreme weakness and believed he would die; Tommy experienced a rumbly tummy with gushing, painless, foul diarrhoea while Tony had become a very angry child with frothy, watery diarrhoea and severe abdominal pains.
 After repertorization, Tim would be prescribed Ars; Tommy Podo; and Tony Coloc; three different homeopathic medicines even though chronic diarrhoea was the  diagnosis, because each child was suffering in his own, individual way.
 

Homeopathic medicine is prescribed using a systematized, scientific method which translates symptoms into clinically verified rubrics, creating usable data to identify the specific homeopathic medicine for an individual’s mental, emotional and physical symptoms / sufferings. 
 

Homeopathic medicines are inexpensive and, with a few exceptions, not patented.
 

In Australia, always seek the services of a homeopath registered with AROH.
