Betrayal of the Promise: Why are Homeopaths Losing Faith in Homeopathy?



Reclaiming Our Roots: A Call to Action for Homeopaths & Patients!

"This post reflects my personal observations and may not resonate with everyone. I understand that some may disagree with my views. However, this is a platform for introspection and a call to action within our profession.

We embarked on this journey, drawn to the profound philosophy of homeopathy – a system of medicine that honors the individual and seeks to address the root cause of suffering. We poured our hearts and minds into understanding the intricacies of materia medica, the art of case-taking, and the profound healing potential within each remedy.

Yet, today, a sense of unease pervades the homeopathic community. Many of us find ourselves questioning the path we've chosen.

  • Why are we not actively promoting the incredible power of homeopathy to heal?
  • Why are so many of us drawn towards alternative paths instead of embracing the unique strengths of our chosen profession?
    • The Allure of Allopathy: Why are so many of us drawn towards bridge courses in allopathic medicine? Is it the allure of mainstream recognition, the promise of greater earning potential, or a sense of inadequacy in the face of conventional medicine's dominance?
  • The Shift Towards Aesthetics: Why have so many homeopaths gravitated towards the lucrative world of aesthetics, offering trichology, laser treatments, and other cosmetic procedures? Is it a matter of financial survival or a disillusionment with the challenges of building a sustainable homeopathic practice?
  • The Insurance Industry Paradox: It's perplexing to see many homeopaths finding employment within insurance companies and TPAs, seemingly at odds with the very principles of holistic care that drew us to homeopathy in the first place.
  • Where is the strong mentorship and guidance that can inspire us to reach our full potential as homeopaths?
  • Where is the government support that we see extended to Ayurveda, while homeopathy, another valuable system within AYUSH, seems to be lagging behind?

I am deeply grateful to my mentor, Dr. Gopinath Menon, whose dedication to homeopathy and unwavering belief in its power continues to inspire me. 

Witnessing his success in treating patients with a single dose has instilled in me a deep respect for the profound art of homeopathy.

Let us not forget the profound impact homeopathy has had on countless individuals. 

To my dear patients, who have turned to homeopathy as a beacon of hope when conventional medicine failed them – your testimonies are our greatest strength.

Let us reclaim our pride in this beautiful system of medicine. Let us advocate for stronger research, a more robust regulatory framework, and greater integration of homeopathy within the mainstream healthcare system.

Let us strive to provide strong mentorship and guidance to aspiring homeopaths, fostering a new generation of dedicated practitioners.

It's time to rediscover our passion, to strengthen our community, and to ensure that the wisdom of homeopathy continues to benefit generations to come.

Understanding Vaccine Schedule, Dosages & Booster Doses: Who needs them & Why!

  As a homeopath , I understand the concerns and questions surrounding vaccinations . While homeopathy and vaccination operate on different principles, there are indeed similarities in their underlying concepts. Homeopathy follows the principle of " like cures like ," where a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used to treat similar symptoms in someone who is unwell. Similarly, vaccinations introduce a small amount of a weakened or inactive pathogen to stimulate the body's immune response and provide protection against future infections. This led to his famous aphorism, like cures like or similia similibus curantur , which is often called the principle of similar, and Dr. Hanhemann cited Jenner’s use of cowpox vaccination to prevent smallpox as example. It's essential to acknowledge that both homeopathy and vaccinations have their place in healthcare and can complement each other. Vaccinations have been instrumental in preventing and eradicati...
