How does homeopathy differ from conventional medicine?

Homeopathy is based on the principle that ''like cure like''.That is, if a substance can cause


symptoms of disease in a healthy person,then it can cure a sick person suffering from similar


symptoms.Suppose a person has hay fever, with watery eyes and a burning nasal discharge.


Instead of giving an antihistamine to dry up the discharge,A homeopath might prescribe Allium


cepa a tiny dose of onion, specially prepared by a homeopathic pharmacy in accordance with FDA-


approved guidelines-because onion is known to cause watery eyes and a burning nasal discharge.


Homeopathy regards symptoms as the body's healthy attempt to restore itself to balance.A


homeopathy will choose a remedy thay supports the symptoms-rather than opposing them or


suppressing them as in conventional medicine.

Homeopathy recognizes thay each person manifests illness in a unique and slightly different way.


Thay is why two people with the same illness will not necessarily receive the same homeopathic


remedy. A cold sufferer with a stopped-up nose and dry eyes would receive a different remedy


than a cold sufferer with a runny nose and watering eyes.Unlike the "one size fits all"approach


often used in conventional medicine, a homeopath chooses a remedy that matches a persons's


unique symptom profile including physical,mental,and emotional symptoms.

顺势药品和传统药品之差别何在呢?

顺势保健法是『以同治同』的原则。也就是说，如果某一物质会对一个健康的人造成某一疾病时，那么

这一物质也同样可以医治同一症候的病人。例如一个得了花粉热的病人，而一直流泪和流鼻水，顺势保

健法将不会给抗组织胺来让这一症状停止，而会给Allium cepa(洋葱)-极小量的洋葱，这是按照FDA所核

准的程序制造，因为众所皆知的洋葱会让人流眼泪和流鼻水。

顺势保健法关心一个健康身体，如一有症候时会试图恢复到原来的平衡性。顺势保健法所采取的治疗方

法就是先让这个症候存在，而不会像传统医学一样以对抗或压制方式来治疗。

顺势保健法认为每一个人的病情有其特殊性和些微的差异性。这就是为什么两个有相同疾病的人不一定

要给相同的顺势产品。例如感冒引起的鼻塞和眼睛干涩以及感冒引起的流鼻水和流眼泪会用不同的产

品。不会像传统对抗医学『一体适用』的模式，顺势保健法会以每一个人特殊的症候来给不同的产品，

特别的是它还含盖了生理、心理和情绪的症候。

其实在刚开始接触顺势疗法的时侯是不相信的，因为顺势疗法是种完全无副用的一种疗法，而我们长久以来的观念就是只要是药都会有副作用，在自已的查证及使用下…证明顺势疗法真的是完全无副作的，而且在下个月开始台湾第一家的顺势诊所就会在台北开幕了，以后的目标要将每个县市最少都要成立一家顺势诊所…真是太棒了^^
