New Innovations In Integrative Medicine: Homeopuncture
Two worlds come togetherHomeopuncture is a new treatment strategy slowly coming into vogue in integrative medical clinics around the world which combines two alternative medical therapies, Acupuncture and Homeopathy into one. Each of these age old therapies predate conventional medicine by a long shot and are used around the world to treat everything from the most simple to the most complex health challenges. Both also have growing bodies of research proving their effectiveness in treating a large variety of illnesses, acute as well as chronic. This in spite of the large challenges that alternative medicine has to face in the research arena which includes lack of funding, and the relative complexity in designing research studies to study these modalities. This compared to the relatively simple process of studying single drugs for a single symptoms as is done Tinnitus Treatment on a large scale in conventional medicine.HomeopathyThis form of medicine has been around for over 200 years and is based on the basic principle which is that ?like cures like? also know as the ?law of similars?. In other words a substance that would cause specific symptoms when taken in its raw form, will alleviate those same symptoms if the compound is diluted and succussed. Through a series dilutions and succusions the remedy is ?potentized? to a level at which it is capable of reversing these symptoms even if the symptoms are not caused by the substance but in stead are related to an illness.Homeopathy was founded by a German physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755 ?1843) who began practicing as a doctor in 1781 and interestingly enough stopped practicing medicine shortly after he got married because the medicine of his day he felt caused more harm than good.
