How does homeopathy differ from conventional medicine?

Homeopathy is based on the principle that ''like cure like''.That is, if a substance can cause


symptoms of disease in a healthy person,then it can cure a sick person suffering from similar


symptoms.Suppose a person has hay fever, with watery eyes and a burning nasal discharge.


Instead of giving an antihistamine to dry up the discharge,A homeopath might prescribe Allium


cepa a tiny dose of onion, specially prepared by a homeopathic pharmacy in accordance with FDA-


approved guidelines-because onion is known to cause watery eyes and a burning nasal discharge.


Homeopathy regards symptoms as the body's healthy attempt to restore itself to balance.A


homeopathy will choose a remedy thay supports the symptoms-rather than opposing them or


suppressing them as in conventional medicine.

Homeopathy recognizes thay each person manifests illness in a unique and slightly different way.


Thay is why two people with the same illness will not necessarily receive the same homeopathic


remedy. A cold sufferer with a stopped-up nose and dry eyes would receive a different remedy


than a cold sufferer with a runny nose and watering eyes.Unlike the "one size fits all"approach


often used in conventional medicine, a homeopath chooses a remedy that matches a persons's


unique symptom profile including physical,mental,and emotional symptoms.

順勢藥品和傳統藥品之差別何在呢?

順勢保健法是『以同治同』的原則。也就是說，如果某一物質會對一個健康的人造成某一疾病時，那麼

這一物質也同樣可以醫治同一癥候的病人。例如一個得了花粉熱的病人，而一直流淚和流鼻水，順勢保

健法將不會給抗組織胺來讓這一癥狀停止，而會給Allium cepa(洋蔥)-極小量的洋蔥，這是按照FDA所核

準的程序製造，因為眾所皆知的洋蔥會讓人流眼淚和流鼻水。

順勢保健法關心一個健康身體，如一有癥候時會試圖恢復到原來的平衡性。順勢保健法所採取的治療方

法就是先讓這個癥候存在，而不會像傳統醫學一樣以對抗或壓制方式來治療。

順勢保健法認為每一個人的病情有其特殊性和些微的差異性。這就是為什麼兩個有相同疾病的人不一定

要給相同的順勢產品。例如感冒引起的鼻塞和眼睛乾澀以及感冒引起的流鼻水和流眼淚會用不同的產

品。不會像傳統對抗醫學『一體適用』的模式，順勢保健法會以每一個人特殊的癥候來給不同的產品，

特別的是它還含蓋了生理、心理和情緒的癥候。

其實在剛開始接觸順勢療法的時侯是不相信的，因為順勢療法是種完全無副用的一種療法，而我們長久以來的觀念就是只要是藥都會有副作用，在自已的查證及使用下…證明順勢療法真的是完全無副作的，而且在下個月開始台灣第一家的順勢診所就會在台北開幕了，以後的目標要將每個縣市最少都要成立一家順勢診所…真是太棒了^^
