What is the difference between Conventional medicine, Naturopathy and Homoeopathy?
Conventional medicine has specific treatments for diseases with the emphasis on treating symptoms. Homoeopathy and naturopathy differ considerably in their prescribing methods and medicine preparation. Homoeopathy uses medicines that have been processed through a series of dilutions from the original substance, which means they are non-toxic and safe. Only one medicine is prescribed at a time to restore balance within the body. Homoeopathy offers a specialized treatment for each patient’s illness and works with the body’s own healing energies rather than overriding them. Naturopaths mainly use a mixed combination of herbal medicines and vitamins as a supportive framework for recovery. Herbal medicines are made directly from plant substances without dilutions and the dosage and quantities need to be carefully monitored by a professional.
