Homeopathic Medicines
Homeopathic medicines are made from a variety of plants, animals and minerals. They are prepared according to strict guidelines and under the control of the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). Since the medicines are very dilute, they are considered safe and free from serious adverse reactions when prescribed according to homeopathic principles. These medicines can be given in the form of liquid, granules or tablets and are designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing forces.
A single dose or repeated doses of medicine may be given. These small amounts of medicine are sufficient to stimulate the body's own healing process.
Healing occurs in different ways and reactions to a medicine vary. Sometimes improvement is immediate and begins with an increased feeling of well being, even though symptoms initially remain. In some cases, old symptoms recur as part of the healing process. Occasionally there is a temporary worsening of the symptoms prior to improvement. While there are no toxic side effects from homeopathic medicines, you should keep your homeopath informed of any reactions.
