How does the concept of homeopathy differ from that of conventional medicine?
The homeopath regards symptoms as the bodys healthy attempt to restore itself to balance. That is why a homeopath will choose a remedy that supports the symptoms rather than opposing them or suppressing them as in conventional medicine. In conventional medicine, the cold or hayfever sufferer is given an antihistamine to dry up the runny nose and watery eyes artificially. Unpleasant side effects like sleepiness and constipation often result. With the correct homeopathic remedy, however, there are no side effects and a person is restored to health naturally with an attendant sense of well-being.
