Truth:
The sweet pills are made from cane sugar and they are just the carrier of the medicine. The actual medicine is prepared in liquid form in alcohol base. The liquid medicine is then added to the pills which then retain the medicinal effect.
Advantage of using pills is that they dissolve easily on the tongue (where the medicinal action takes place), and can be easily given to kids too.
Some of our medicines come in less sweet tablet form, these are trituration and bio-chemics. These are made of sugar of milk and no liquid medicine needs to be added to them.

Myth:
|
|
Truth:
Homeopathic medicines actually act quite fast, especially if patient starts homeopathic medication in the early stages of an acute illness. Acute cases like Fever, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Cold and Cough, Sore throat, Tonsillitis, Boils etc respond very well to homeopathy.
In fact, early medication most often than not aborts the infection.For example, in cases of Boils, Homeopathy prevents further growth and build-up of pus, and helps to prevent the boil reaching stage of maturity/incision.
This misconception about slow action is due to the fact that earlier people resorted to homeopathy when other modes of treatment failed to cure them. Obviously by this time the disease presents a distorted picture because of all the other treatments. Naturally it will take a long time for the homeopath to cure.

Myth:

Truth:
Most chronic cases coming to homeopaths have already been treated by other modes of treatment, which tend to suppress the problem, especially the Skin cases which drive the disease inside. When homeopathic medicine act correctly it influences the body's defense mechanism to push diseases out as cure takes place from within outwards, from more vital organs to less vital organs, thus on to the skin in this case.
Homeopathic treatment helps the body to cure itself, so the suppressed skin ailments naturally have to reappear. Thus the initial aggravation seen in many cases are actually the old symptoms reappearing or the disease condition reverting to the original state. This is a temporary phase and as homeopathic treatment progresses complete cure follows.
