Homeopathy For Arthritis
But what is homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a system of medicine founded
by a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann, over two
centuries
ago.It is based on the law of
similars, this law has ancient origins, Hindu manuscripts
record it's use, Aristotle and Hippocrates refer
to it's use. Hahnemann then developed the law of
similars into a system of medicine, this law states,
that like cures like, (similia similibus curentur).
Like cures like means that a substance taken by
a healthy person which produced a certain set of symptoms,
could then be given to a sick person with a similar set of
symptoms to produce a healing.
Homeopathic medicine sources its remedy
references from the provings of substances which have been
recorded in the materia medica. All of these provings whether
accidental (poisonings) or deliberate with their numerous
symptoms produced, are then catalogued into a
repertory.
This repertory will be the book that the
homeopath will refer to in your consultation. It's a huge tome
which might alarm you, for you might begin to think that
the homeopath practices his art in a constant state of
ignorance if he needs to refer to a book of such
proportions.
If you ever get to read a materia medica, you
will realize that any substance which me might consume daily
and consider to be harmless, will produce symptoms if we
consume too much of it. Overdose on tomatoes, or other
vegetables from the nightshade family and you may experience
joint pain, itchy skin, restless sleep, sore throat, and any
one of hundreds more symptoms that these plants can
produce.
The foregoing provides a good argument for
paying attention to your diet, eat from a wide variety of fresh
foods, don't overconsume one particular food because you
believe it's healthy for you.Everything in moderation is the
way to approach your diet, don't go overboard.
Now back to what homeopathy/homoeopathy is all
about.Hahnemann states in his Organon: "The highest ideal of
cure is rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of the health,
or removal and annihilation of the disease in it's whole
extent, in the shortest, most reliable and most harmless way,
on easy comprehensible principles".
This is not about
palliation or removal of symptoms, this is about removal of the
disease, it will no longer belong to you.It's never a good
idea to take possession of a disease, not that being in
denial about your horrendously painful joints is the way to go,
but somehow when you say I have rheumatoid arthritis it tends
to set up shop in your system.Better to take a more positive
view, don't accept disease labels, accept only
health.
Restoring health, what this means is that there
should be an inward improvement whenever an outward symptom has
been resolved.So if suddenly your painful joints don't bother
you, but inwardly you still feel depressed, irritable, and
angry, this is not restoration of health, this is palliation of
manifesting symptoms only.Superficially things may seem to be
OK, but the disease process continues undisturbed.
How does homeopathy work, well, after a long
and intensive case has been taken , the
homeopath may give you a remedy which has been chosen with
great care to match your entire person, not just your gouty
toe. After taking the remedy you may experience a very painful
aggravation of your condition, you ring the homeopath and blurt
out your indignation at their incompetence, the homeopath says
that's great. This is what is called a healing crisis,and if
this occurs it is great, for the remedy is a match for you.
Sometimes it may take a while before an
homeopath can get to the right remedy,for patients are
often reluctant to be spontaneous in answering questions.
You may become infuriated because you went to see a homeopath
about your gouty toe, and they start asking questions about
your emotional life, you may ask what's this got to do with my
toe. Actually it has a lot to do with it, for our diseased
state comes from within, and a well chosen remedy can resolve
much more than a gouty toe problem.
According to homeopathic law,cure takes place
from the center to the circumference, from above downwards,
from more important to less important organs, from the head to
the hands and feet and in the reverse order of their
appearance. so while your gouty toe may not be healed first,
emotionally you will notice a huge shift from within,and you
are then on the road to cure.
