Homoeopathy is a German system of medicine developed in the late 18th century by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, a renowned clinician, philosopher and an unsung genius. In the 19th century, the system gained popularity all over Europe and America and stalwarts emerged to establish teaching institutions and homoeopathic hospitals. Homoeopathy was brought to India by Westerners travelling seaward. The system gleaned royal patronage in India in the late 19th century and slowly started spreading among the masses. Today, homoeopathy is most popular in the Indian subcontinent, and is the most sought after mode of treatment among the public.
Homoeopathy treats a person as a whole entity and not just a collection of organs. A holistic approach to the disease ensures complete cure in both acute and chronic cases. From simple diseases to complicated incurable diseases, Homoeopathy follows the same cardinal principles. The efficacy of our medicines are proven in all disease conditions from common cold, diarrhea, fever, infections to chronic conditions like osteoarthritis, bronchial asthma, gastric ulcer, eczema.
Acupuncture is the practice of penetrating the skin with thin, solid, metallic needles which are then activated through gentle and specific movements of the practitioner's hands or with electrical stimulation.
Acupuncture is part of the ancient practice of Traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe the human body has more than 2,000 acupuncture points connected by pathways or meridians. These pathways create an energy flow (Qi, pronounced "chee") through the body that is responsible for overall health. Disruption of the energy flow can cause disease. By applying acupuncture to certain points, it is thought to improve the flow of Qi, thereby improving health.
