Homeopathy uses dilutions of natural substances to stimulate the body's natural healing responses
The goal of homeopathy is to stimulate the body's natural defenses against disease by administering extreme dilutions of particular herbs, minerals, and other natural substances known as "remedies." The remedy is the end result of the homeopathic preparation process. Required by the FDA to follow strict guidelines in the homeopathic product manufacturing process, homeopathic pharmaceutical companies (such as Simple Medicinals) first follow a sequence of procedures to dilute the original substance. Often known as the "mother tincture," the original substance can be a plant, mineral, or animal-derived substance such as goat's milk.
During the last 200 years, more and more remedies have been "proven" to define the symptom profile of a particular substance. Provings follow a specific standard protocol developed by Dr. Hahnemann to identify, test, and communicate the most prominent symptoms and characteristics of a remedy. In the past few decades, hundreds of double-blind, placebo-controlled studies have been conducted - particularly in Europe - and they have all proven that homeopathic remedies are indeed effective medicine.
Typically, natural health remedies come in the form of lactose tablets, sucrose pellets, or alcohol- or water-based solutions. Simple Medicinals has taken this science to a new level, beyond oral dosing to direct contact with sensitive tissues in need of specific homeopathic relief, such as Homeopathic Gout Oral Spray.
Successfully practiced worldwide
Dr. Hahnemann's approach has been tested, refined, and successfully practiced all over the world for well over 200 years. Yet, as a medical discipline, homeopathy is certainly much better known and accepted in other countries than it is in the United States today. Widely practiced in Europe, it is estimated that 32 percent of family physicians in France use homeopathy. In England, 42 percent of physicians refer patients to homeopaths. And homeopathy is integrated into the national health-care systems of many countries, including Germany, India, Brazil, Mexico, and the United Kingdom.
