Suniti What is the basis of Homoeopathy?
Dr Vishpala Homoeopathy works on the principle of SIMILIA SIMILIBUS CURENTUR, That is LIKE CURES LIKE. If a certain drug or substance is given to a normal person, it will produce some complaints...and when the same symptoms appear in a patient, the same drug will cure it. Is it clear?
Manisha I used to think homoeopathy is only for long term illnesses like high BP.
Dr Vishpala Manisha You are wrong Homoeopathy is the BEST for acute illnesses provided a detailed history is taken and right remedy given.
Suniti Why do homeopaths ask so many, and at times silly questions?
Dr Vishpala Silly! Han... For a Homoeopath to prescribe correctly lot of details are wanted. We must know the person well enough to understand why the disease has occured. You see we have over 2000 different drugs and for us to pick up the right one. What sounds silly to you are actually very important facts for us we must know our patient/ person well enough
Dr Vishpala Have I made myself clear, Suniti?
Manisha All Homoeopathic medicines look alike. What is the difference?
Dr Vishpala All drugs looking alike is not correct. Actually what you see are the pills or the vehicle in which remedies are given. Homoeopathic medicines are made in alcohol and are in a clear solution. Hence this feeling of all drugs being same.
Suniti Nowadays Homoeopathy is more expensive than Allopathy. Why?
Dr Vishpala The reason is that a Homoeopath has to spend almost 2-3 hours with a patient.to get full history. You will agree that we must be compensated for the time spent and care given.
Manisha Can people of all age groups take it?
Dr Vishpala Yes people of all ages can take Homoeopathy. It is best for age groups where you are worried of side effects of drugs.
Manisha Can I take them if I am pregnant/nursing?
Dr Vishpala Yes. You can take even if you are pregnant or nursing. We have some of the best results for pregnancy vomiting
Manisha Can I take allopathic drugs along with homoeopathy or I must avoid them?
Dr Vishpala Most of allopathic drugs can be taken. You cannot take CORTISONE or MORPHINE
Manisha I have heard that you have to avoid onions if you are on homeopathy. Is it true?Why?
Dr Vishpala That is a myth. Strong smell of Onion should be avoided. Cooked onions are allowed
Manisha Why?
Dr Vishpala Homoeopathic medicines are sensitive and very strong smells like onion, garlic and even perfumes destroy the efficacy of drugs but after the smell is gone then there is no problems
Sangee Can homeopathy medicines be given for fever or cough and cold. How soon does it effect?
Dr Vishpala Homoeo drugs take effect the moment they touch your tongue. It is that FAST
Manisha Can homoeopathy help me to lose weight without diet and exercise?
Dr Vishpala Manisha, you want miracles NO it can not make you lose weight without diet and exercise but it can make you healthier and prettier
Sneha Does homeopathy cause any side effects
Dr Vishpala Yes, any medicine that is powerful enough to heal will definitely cause side. effects if taken injudiciously or with too much doses. But when the medicines are stopped the bad effects go away, good effect continuing
Sneha Is there any homeopathic cure for excessive white discharge?
Dr Vishpala Definitely Sneha. Proper history and examination will be required before prescribing You must contact a GOOD Homoeopath
Sneha Why does homeopathy cure very slowly
Dr Vishpala Homoepathy is NOT slow at all. It is as fast or faster than any other medical science for acute complaints like loose motions, fever etc but the myth that it is slow is because we continue medicine for a long time. This is to build up your resistance power so that you do not fall sick often.
Renuka Do Homoeopathic remedies give allergy?
Dr Vishpala Renuka, Homoeopathic medicines are from natural products, so allergy is not very likely. But sometimes if the dose is strong or repeated too often unwanted effects may occur.
