Frequently Asked Questions
Is Homeopathy slow?!Can homeopathy give quick relief in acute complaints like severe tooth pain,diarrhea,asthmatic attack etc?
Generally people select homeopathy as a last resort after months or years various other treatments. So naturally such an old complaint takes time to cure and this largely contributed to the common saying “homeopathy works, But slow”.
Homeopathy gives fast relief in acute complaints if the patients received the correct medicines! A sudden tooth pain should subside how it would subside under an Allopathic pain killer! Complaints of short durations will be set right in short time! If not getting the desired result in such a short duration you need to contact your Homeo doctor to change your medication and don’t waste time thinking “homeopathy acts slowly”.
Does Homeopathy effective in lifestyle diseases like Diabetes mellitus,High Cholosterol,High Blood pressure etc?
Not only its effective,But lots of people get either cured of it or able to take medicines at long interval instead of the conventional lifelong treatment.
Can a person take Allopathic and Homeopathic medicines at the same time?
Both can be taken at the same time though it’s not allowed everytime! Lets take a common example where the patients taking Allopathic medicines for their Diabetes or High blood pressure or Increased Cholosterol level (or for all these)when come to a Homeo doctor for an entirely different complaint,The Homeo doctor will allow the patient to take both together!
Remember it’s not allowed everytime ! It depends on the type of diseases the patient suffering from and their Homeo doctor will guide them in this.
Is it true Homeo medicines aggravate the disease before it relieves it?

Heard some people telling Homeo medicines cause kidney damage,reduces blood,lose flesh,decrase calcium in blood causing bones and teeth brittle etc?!
There is not even a one percentage truth to these! These are widely spread by people with vested interests and sadly many common people are fallen prey to it.
Homeopathic medicines contain steroids?!
It’s another outright lie like the above stated allegations.
Homeo medicines contain alcohol and it’s toxic ?!
Technically the medicines people getting contain a very small amount of alcohol and that can’t even intoxicate a mosquito! If anybody doubts that small amount for a long time causes problem, then in India eating foods like bread,Appam, Idli,Dosa,Lassi, cheese,yogurt,pickles, buttermilk, ketchup etc all would be intoxicating people on a daily basis as these are ‘fermented food’,meaning they contain avery small amount of alcohol in it. Fermented foods are formed by conversion of carbohydrate into alcohol or organic acids.
