Ans: Homoeopatthy and Ayurveda are both holistic sciences both contain medicines prepared from substances found in nature, how ever the method of preparation are different in both, Homoeopathic medicine is a form of energy, while ayurvedic medicines contain more of the material form of the drug substance.We do not advocate the use of Ayurveda and homoeopathy together because , if you take two together, we don't know how to evaluate your progress. We will not come to know with which medicine has helped you.Allopathic medicines – though effective in emergencies, if taken for prolonged periods change the symptoms to such an extent that their original presentation of the symptom is lost, making it difficult to gather enough accurate information to prescribe the correct homoeopathic remedy. The symptoms are the indicators that a homoeopath uses to find his way to the right remedy. If you were to take conventional medication to treat symptoms after beginning homoeopathic treatment, you could stop the action of the remedy, rendering it ineffective. Most of the acute conditions can be handled well with homoeopathy but in some exceptional conditions, we do advice the patient to take allopathic treatment. |
