Common Misconceptions
“Homeopathy works only for chronic diseases.”
Many people believe homeopathy is not useful in acute problems such as fever, diarrhoea, abdominal pain or excessive bleeding during menstruation, and only for chronic diseases that have not responded to any other system of medicine. This is a misconception. Homeopathy gives excellent results in acute conditions as well as in conditions that other systems of medicine had given up on.
“Homeopathy is slow.”
People often come for homeopathic treatment at a very late stage, by which time ailments have become chronic. This takes more time: first to stabilise the disease and reverse the effects of earlier medicines, and later for the homeopathic medicines to start their effect. So the earlier you opt for homeopathic treatment, the fewer days of treatment are required; the later you opt for it, the longer it will take.
“It only relieves symptoms.”
Homeopathy aims not only at early recovery but at complete healing by addressing the root cause of the disease and strengthening the person's internal immunity, so that the chances of recurrence are reduced.
