Homeopathy is the treatment of a disease through the use of highly diluted substances which some believe will allow the body to heal itself. They are most commonly used to heal asthma, ear infections, hay fever, arthritis and depression. There are many different views on homeopathy, which shall be discussed in this blog.
Homeopaths are made from natural ingredients including herbs and spices. This would therefore make this type of healing a lot safer towards everyone, especially pregnant women and children who sometimes may not medicate due to the strength of non-homeopathic medicines. Furthermore, homeopaths never have any significant side effects, they do not affect the human body. Some studies have also showed that homeopaths do not stop the pain for a while, it kills the root of the pain, therefore healing the pain permanently. And most importantly, homeopaths may be used along side of traditional medicine and the combination of both have had positive results.
However homeopaths are still in an area of great study and there is still a lot of unknown. Clearly, homeopaths are extremely unreliable. Tests have been carried out on both animals and humans and there has never been a clear pattern of a success rate. Even worse, is that people believe that they can self medicate themselves with homeopathic medicines, however this is not the case, and there are very few specialized doctors in this area. Even though there has been some success in treating illnesses such as sleep deprivation and depression, many argue that homeopathy is just a placebo effect. The placebo effect is when a patient believes they are getting better only due to the belief of themselves getting cured. Therefore, even though there have been a few success rates, which are already doubtable, there are no homeopathic treatments for serious diseases,
To conclude, I do not believe that homeopathy should be available on the NHS. There has been to no prove at all of these treatments being effective, on animals or humans. There is no direct link between homeopathic treatments and cures. However, traditional medicine has been proved to cure many diseases even though the cause of serious side affects is possible. A combination of both would be preferable, but i strongly believe only traditional medicine should be used, until further research has been conducted to prove otherwise.
