Used in over 80 countries by approximately 100,000 doctors, homeopathy continues to become more widespread in North America. The United States FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has recognised the Homeopathic Pharmacopœia of the United States (HPUS) since 1983. New homeopathic remedies are registered annually. In order to be placed on the American market, homeopathic medicines must meet the 1998 FDA regulation conditions.Homeopathy provides hope for many people looking outside the traditional system. More than 300 million patients around the world use it. More than 100,000 doctors prescribe it.

In India, over 250,000 homeopathic practitioners and 75,000 medical assistants prescribe homeopathy. The people of India trust homeopathy as part of the Indian national healthcare system along with traditional Ayurveda, Unani and Western medicine.

The most exciting part of homeopathy has occured within the last decade as new methods of case-taking have evolved. Homeopaths base their work upon fundamental truths established 200 years ago by Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of this energy system.

The beauty of homeopathy lies in the ability to find solutions to chronic problems such as children’s ear, nose and throat infections, anxiety and emotional problems, allergies, sleep disorders, and epidemics like influenza.

Homeopathy: How Does It Work?

Homoeopathy, since the time of Hahnemann, has been based on the clear, scientific collection of evidence, and continues to be so. But homeopathy has also been criticized as being not a physical science, as the remedies used are so much diluted that not a single atom of the original substance remains – even though it yields physical results.

One view regarding how homeopathy works, which is gaining increasing acceptance, is that it is an energy science and that its remedies are purely energy medicines.

Energy supports the entire structure of our physical world. Each particle of matter is energy and every object in our three-dimensional world has an energy signature that is its fingerprint, much like a DNA code. This energy, through the process of ‘potentisation' [the process of shaking the medicines with sharp shocks] or ‘succussion' [dilution of medicines without sharp shocks] ‘is opened up (dynamised) and energised more deeply and strongly than before. Taken as remedy, its vibration affects the vibration of various fields of the aura of a human being. When the correct potency of the correct remedy corresponds with the compromised field of the aura, ‘catalysation' occurs and the person's vital force responds to enable a cure
