Homeopathicmedicines stimulate your body's homeostatic mechanism so your body heals itselfby dealing with the sources of your symptoms. This stimulus assists your system inclearing itself of any expressions of imbalance. The homoeopath physician givesyou a medicine which matches your symptoms as you experience them, and whichtakes into account you as a person - your individual characteristicsemotionally as well as physically.

Here's an example of how this works. Think of your "naturalregulator" as your internal temperature gauge. If you go outside and it isvery hot, your body will recognize it is too hot and begin to perspire. Yourhomeostatic mechanism is producing a symptom - perspiration - in an effort tocool down the body. If you go outside and it is very cold, the symptom isshivering. Your homeostatic mechanism is trying to warm the body up byshivering to produce heat.

Think about the last time you were shivering. You could not control it,and you did not stop until you were warm. It is the same way with homeopathicmedicines. If you are ill and your body is showing symptoms, the symptoms willnot disappear until the source of the symptoms has disappeared.

Homeopathic medicine’s main action is through tastebuds, esophageal canal, stomach and intestine (part of immune system), eventhrough nasal and skin area, and in response to antigenic attack on body very specific antibodies are released which destroysthe antigenicity of the organisms and there is no drug resistance as such,because own defense systems comes into action each time there is an attack oforganisms.

Homoeopathic action begins as the medicine touches the moist surface oftongue from where it directly goes into circulation of a huge network of nerveswhich is spread like miles in the body system, nerves are spread like electricwires in the body and from the tongue or olfactory nerves it reaches to a veryspecific point of weakness in immune system and starts correcting or boostingor strengthening it. Likewise you can imagine how accurate the potency andwavelength of the homoeopathic drug, each of which carries a very specificWAVELENGTH and identity and can enter the weak points of a diseased individualin matter of microseconds when the drug and the disease is matchedaccurately!!! So wrong medicine does not bring about any cure, and is merewaste of effort.
