What are Homeopathic Medicines?
Homeopathic Medicines are dilutions prepared from various natural sources like plants, minerals certain animal body fluids etc. These substances are then processed in laboratory to extract the curative powers hidden in these substances by a very sophisticated procedure. The final medicine which is given to the patient is in the form of liquids. This liquid can be either advised to take in drops, or mixed with sachrum lactate powder or sachhrum lactate pills (the famous white pills that you many times see on Homeopathic advertisement). The powder and the pills are just the carriers or vehicle for the liquid medicine and they are not medicine in themselves. They acquire medicinal power only when a liquid medicine is mixed in them.

The period of treatment varies, depending upon how old is patient’s complain.

It is with this purpose the above fees structure is designed.

Homeopathy offers a method of maintaining health and preventing illness. Homeopathy also offers alternative mode of treatment and complementary mode of treatment when your regular mode of treatment fails to give you satisfactory relief. It is a subtle but effective therapy that can correct small imbalances long before the appearance of the more serious symptoms, which denote a particular disease. It is not necessary for a Homeopath to wait for a conventional diagnosis before treatment can commence. Such illness can be 'nipped in the bud' and the patient swiftly restored to health before a more serious disease appears. People who have had Homeopathic treatment generally find that their state of health and well being has improved. They are better able to resist infection and have a greater sense of stability and individual purpose in life. These improvements surely are steps towards Good Health and Good Life.
