Homeopathy??? There are still many Malaysians who think homeopathy is a new medical method and also herbal medicine. There are also many who still do not know what Homeopathic medicine is.
Maybe their guess is true. This is due to the fact that information about homeopathy is not very widespread among the community and there are still many people who are not really convinced of the effectiveness of homeopathic medicine.
For those who have received homeopathic treatment, they will definitely recognize its uniqueness. It is said to be unique because of the sweet taste of the medicine, different from medicines from ordinary medicine that we generally know have various tastes such as bitter, sweet, sour and so on.
In fact, this is where the art of homeopathic medicine lies. This sweetness is more easily accepted by patients who are 'afraid' to take medicine, especially children. The Father of Modern Medicine himself once said that no one can be a good doctor without having the qualities of love for the art of healing, love for humanity and love for the sick. So the art of healing that Homeopathy has is its medicines that are sweet and easily accepted by the community.
Based on the principle of love for healing, Dr Christian Samuel Hahnemann from Germany succeeded in discovering the method of Homeopathy in the 1790s. Samuel Hahnemann studied doctorate medicine in Leipzig for two years but had to switch to Erlangen because Erlangen had a reasonable fee structure. His thesis is known as "A Dissertation on the Causes and Treatment of Spasmodic Diseases." After graduation, he used traditional and conventional methods but he was not satisfied with those methods which were described as cruel and painful. He moved away from conventional medicine when he lost his children during the influenza epidemic, and this became a driving force for him in discovering alternative medical theories and practices for a safer and healthier future.
Homeopathy actually comes from the Greek words 'homoes' for similarity or similar and 'pathy' for pain or disease. So homeopathy means treatment that is based on similarities or compatible treatment, which means treating with drugs that are similar to the disease. In English it is called 'like cures like' which means similar to similar heals.

Homeopathic medicine requires a comprehensive counseling process between the patient and the nurse. In this case, it takes quite a long time for a homeopathic nurse to ask various things that include the patient's condition, character changes and behavior. The collection of this information is to get real and more accurate and detailed symptoms. The remedy or medicine will be chosen based on the information given. Usually only one remedy that meets almost all or all of the symptoms that have been reported by the patient will be given at one time. If an x-ray is necessary, the patient will be advised to get an x-ray at a regular clinic or hospital.
In every aspect of life, we need to be given a choice. Homeopathy is an option for people who cannot accept or aren't compatible with conventional medical treatments. For sure, like other medical treatments, the purpose is the same which is to give health to the community.
