Help in Epidemics and Crises
Homeopathy has a 200-year-old history of success in treating epidemic diseases
-- beginning with Hahnemann's use of Belladonna to treat and prevent scarlet
fever in the epidemic of 1801. Homeopathy is also one of the best types of
medicine to use for trauma, both physical and emotional. It is no surprise
that the National Center for Homeopathy has been inundated with questions since
September 11, 2001 about how to use homeopathy in these turbulent times.The
NCH has also been instrumental in
raising
relief funds to enable homeopathic treatment for the victims of the
tsunami,
hurricane Katrina, and other crises around the world.
This section of the NCH site will help you understand how homeopathy
can help you during an epidemic or in traumatic situations. There
are two main sections:
- Flu Forum -- Find out
recommended remedies for this year's flu, contribute your own
successful experiences with treating the flu, and check out
helpful articles about flu treatment in general.
- General Information --
This page points to invaluable information about the homeopathic
approach to epidemics and trauma, including an FAQ and
many useful articles.
Normally, homeopathic treatment requires selection of a remedy that
best matches a person's highly individualized symptom picture. Fortunately,
in acute situations, the range of likely responses is much narrower. For
this reason, the choice of an appropriate remedy also becomes easier. Keeping
a general all-purpose remedy kit on hand and knowing how to use it
is the best preparation for emergencies. To hone your skills,
consider starting an
NCH Affiliated
Study Group or plan to attend the
NCH
Summer School.
