Homeopathy Near Fort Lauderdale
Homeopathy is a system of medicine that involves treating the individual with highly diluted substances, given mainly in tablet form, with the aim of triggering the body’s natural system of healing. Based on their specific symptoms, a homeopath will match the most appropriate dilution for each patient. Homeopathic medicines were recognized as drugs in 1938 and regulated by the FDA for the processes of manufacturing and distribution.
What is Homeopathic Medicine?
Homeopathy is based on the principle that is, a substance that causes symptoms when taken in large doses, can be used in small amounts to treat those same symptoms. For example:
Drinking too much coffee can cause sleeplessness and agitation, so according to this principle, when made into a homeopathic medicine, it could be used to treat people with these symptoms.
This concept is sometimes used in conventional medicine. For example;
The stimulant Ritalin is used to treat patients with ADHD.
Or small doses of allergens such as pollen are sometimes used to desensitize allergic patients.
However, one major difference with homeopathic medicines is that substances are used in ultra-high dilutions, which makes most of them non-toxic.
Homeopathic medicines (which homeopaths call remedies) are prepared by specialist pharmacies using a careful process of dilution and succession (a specific form of vigorous shaking). Although some of these medicines can be found over the counter there are some that require prescriptions from a doctor or physician.
How are Our Broward County Homeopathic Remedies Made?
The process of manufacturing homeopaths is done so in three steps. First, the strains are determined from things such as plants, minerals, animals, and microbes. The second step is the decision to produce it as a tincture, liquid solution, or tablet. In order to make a homeopathic dilution, the substance needs to be mixed with alcohol, purified water, and inactive ingredients. From this comes the final product which is a homeopathic solution capable of treating your ailments on a safe and non-harmful level. Some side effects of homeopaths can be blurred vision, decreased breast milk production from nursing mothers, dry mouth, nausea, and vomiting. Although these possible side effects are rare.

Benefits of Homeopathic Remedies
Don’t be discouraged by the lengthy names, as they are chosen based on their properties. These properties are the plant, minerals, animals, and microbes they are developed from. Selecting a homeopath to give a patient is based on the patient's set of symptoms and, “the existence of a pharmacologically active substance that causes similar symptoms in the high doses.” The treatments can be used alone, in association with other medicines, and as a palliative therapy such as in treatment with nausea for chemotherapy.
The key to homeopaths is starting as soon as the physician prescribes them to you. You can adjust the frequency according to the intensity of the symptoms and decrease the frequency with improvement. Children receive the same dosage as adults do, which means the homeopaths are not body-weight dependent., and are safe for all individuals no matter the age. The dosage will always be in the drug facts for a referral, but our physicians at Eacuwell will always give specific instructions on how to take them. This can include taking 5 pellets every hour, 5 pellets 3 times a day, or even 5 every 3 hours. It will vary on the severity of what you as the patient are experiencing.
