What is the difference between herbs and homeopathy?
Herbal preparations are made from plants which are ground to a fine state and made into capsules for consumption. These crude herbs can have untoward side-effects and should be prescribed by a qualified herbalist, naturopath or homeopath. Homeopathic medicines are made from plants, minerals, metals, salts and animal products. They are very deep-acting and are prepared systematically to reduce side-effects, yet treat at the deepest levels. A temporary aggravation of symptoms may occur on taking homeopathics. As the medicines boost the body s own ability to heal itself, these aggravations are only very temporary and are followed by relief of the ailments and can indicate a good “similimum” choice by the homeopath.
