When is a Good Time to Seek Homeopathic Care?

Many people, especially when considering homeopathy for the first time, see a homeopath in the later stages of illness. At that stage, they have gone through a lot of discomfort and they may be impatient for some relief. The first question most people with late stages of disease ask is when they will see some improvement. In this post, I will try to answer that question and explain when you need to seek the care of a homeopath, and why that time is important.

If you have read the first few posts on this blog, you will have understood how homeopathy works on the whole person and how a homeopathic remedy is individualized for each person. If not, here is the link to the post that explains what homeopathy is.

In the late stages of illness, the disease has progressed to such an extent that it overcomes the individuality of the ill person. The vital energy has become too weak to confront the disease and this results in the severe long-lasting illness. Many people with advanced illness also undergo many kinds of treatment before seeking homeopathic care, the most common of which is allopathic, which further drives the illness inwards. At this stage, homeopathic management can rejuvenate the body's own vital energy to fight the illness. Since homeopathic remedies act best when they are individualized or customized to the person needing them, in the later stages of disease, it takes a little longer for the remedies to act because the individuality is low.

Homeopathic management in the later stages of disease involves two steps - first, to rejuvenate the body's vital energy, and second, to help the vital energy fight the illness. Going over these two steps takes more time and that is why results may be slow.

In the earlier stages of illness, the vital energy is still active but needs some help in overcoming the force of the disease, which is exactly what homeopathic management can provide. So in the earlier stages of illness, there is only one step towards health. Because the vital energy is active, individualized homeopathic remedies act faster and we see quicker results.

It is important to know this difference to understand homeopathic management and know when is the best time to seek homeopathic care. Once that is understood, then it is easy to see that the best time to see a homeopath is in the earlier stages of disease.

Now, this doesn't mean that homeopathy has nothing to offer in the case of chronic illnesses. In fact, homeopathy has the most to offer when compared to other methods of management of chronic illnesses. However, when you seek homeopathic care in early stages of illness, not only is it easier for the homeopath to provide the right care, but also it is easier on your own body to recover from illness. Furthermore, taking homeopathic remedies for acute illnesses helps to strengthen the vital energy and increase immunity, so that you are less prone to long-lasting illnesses. Isn't that a great bonus?

If you are considering seeing a homeopath for yourself or for someone in your family, do it now!
