Pharmacological Action

Homeopathic preparations contain active substances of mineral, plant, and animal origin in ultra-low doses, or potentiated (i.e., in homeopathic preparation) allopathic medicinal substances.

Homeopathic preparations are manufactured using a special technology.

Homeopathic preparations do not possess bactericidal, bacteriostatic, or antitoxic properties and act only on the macroorganism, restoring its homeostasis, which has been disrupted by the pathological process.

The rule of similarity is a mandatory and necessary law of homeopathy. The use of ultra-low doses is a practical consequence of similarity.

When the active substance contained in a homeopathic preparation enters the body, not all its organs and tissues react equally to this substance, but only those that have a special selective affinity for it. Based on significant clinical experience, it is believed that there is a similarity of pathomorphological and pathophysiological reactions. Each medicinal substance exhibits its specific properties mainly in those organs and systems that lie within the sphere of its physiological action.

Indications

As recommended by a homeopathic physician – in accordance with the instructions for medical use of the specific homeopathic preparation.

Dosage Regimen

Ointment

The ointment is applied in a thin layer to the affected areas of the skin 1-2 times/day. The course of treatment is 1-2 weeks.

Suppositories, Oil

The specific homeopathic preparation and its exact dose are always determined strictly individually.

General rule: for acute pathological conditions, low decimal potencies are used; for chronic diseases and in children, higher (centesimal and millesimal) potencies are used.

In acute diseases, when low potencies are used, the homeopathic preparation can be applied every 5-10 minutes and 3-4 times a day, depending on the specific disease.

In chronic diseases, the frequency of administration can range from 3-4 times a day to 1-2 times a week and even less frequently, when very high potencies are used.
