View Full Version : Homeopathy Medicines
Asalamualaikum,
I and am sure many other of you have current health problems which you are finding is only curable whilst the medicine from the doctor lasts!!
Well, i've got a lot of this problem, i have hayfever and asthma and i also know people who have arthiritus and fungal problems etc. the big homeopathy medicines in the UK dont seem to be working for me and ive tries loads.
ive heard that their are some great homeopathy medicines currently available in the USA...
I would be grateful if you could recommend good homeopathy medicines and the places to get them whether its in the UK or around the world and how good they are.
All other views on homeopathy medicine is welcome...
homeopathy, according to my limited knowledge, is something you have to pursue for a long period of time for it to be effective. its not like conventional methods of treatment. for example, with asthma, u use a salbutamol inhaler and it will relieve you of any bronchoconstriction you have at that particular time. homeo meds work in a different way...they work by increasing the bodys' tolerence, in this case, to allergens which would trigger an asthma attack and hence you would need a long time of exposure in order to prevent many asthma attacks and also to develop an increased tolerence.
my point being, would it not be better to use and continue using regular meds from the doctor, which in the case of asthma, are very good and can provide very effective treatment inshaAllah?
I recently qualified as a reflexologist and one of my case studies was a lady who was an asthma sufferer. She had 6 hourly, weekly treatments, but almost straight away she felt the benefits to the degree that she didn't have to use her inhalers which was wonderful.
So I would definately suggest looking into this area too.
i understand wot your saying about sticking with the doctors medicine...and i agree with the case of my asthma...however i have had hayfever my whole life and any1 who has got it would unserstand how terrible it is...i also have a very severe dust allergy...now i have been taking the doctors prescribed allergy medicines for 18 years and still i am suffering really bad. I cant find any medcine that lasts longer than 24 hours before i have to take it again and as you can imagine its not very nice to be sneezing uncontrolably all year round espeacially when your trying to work etc.

i understand what you are saying about beinga long term hayfever sufferer. alhamdulilah i have never suffered from this so i cannot empathise with you on that level, but from a medical point of view i can only advise you to try prescribed medication and maybe a combination of treatment. i have never come across anyone who has all year round hayfever and not being able to reduce it if not being able to completely eradicate it.
mybe you need to go to the dr and ask him or her to give you an allergy test or refer you to have one done at the hospital inshaAllah...but having said all that i guess forsomething like hayfever it would probably be beneficial if you were to look into other methods of treatment...obviously i would not recommend it for asthma.

Salaamz,
OMG - i no exactly wot u mean - sound's jst lyk me (tho ma astha's only exercised induced:rolleyes:) - i'm sneezing th whole year round!!!!!! I did get offered homeopathy tablets 4rm ma relative but waz'nt too sure bout them so didn't take them in the end...:S
At the moment (on my Dad's instuction lol) i'm trying to avoid dairy product's to see if that makes any difference:confused: lol
lool - O and as to work - i was on placement/work experience - I was sneezing quite a bit that day and i went in a room so as not to alert everybody lol - (n after a while you no wot it's lyk...? :o (4 me any way!) runny, puffy eyes, inflamed sinuses, nose hurts....) and so when i came out of the room, they saw me and thought i was going to faint n so they were really nice about it, sat me down and got me a glass of water....sent me home :D lol :o (in my defense i did try telling them i was alright....:D)
There was a program on channel 4 a few months ago called "how to beat your child's asthma" and I strongly suggest that you watch it. They did an experiment with several children suffering from asthma which involved skin prick allergy testing and a few other things I'll explain in a minute. The results over a few months were astounding mashallah; children who used to use their inhalers everyday and were often hospitalised with breathing problems improved so much that they could go days at a time without needing to use one. Children who initially had problems with wheezing everytime they exercised were able to enjoy running around on the playground without any problems at all.
What was their secret? Maintaining an allergen free home! Most of the children had dust mite allergies, so they had their carpets and curtains replaced with flooring and blinds and got rid of most soft furnishings and even most cuddly toys. The parents were given a rigorous cleaning regime which involved dusting the house regularly, including areas which are usually ignored such as under the bed. If they were allergic to pets, the pets had to move out. If they were allergic to pollen, they had to change into fresh clothes as soon as they came in from outside (I think their family members and even visiting friends were expected to do this). It sounds extreme but it did work better than anything they had tried before and this made them less reliant on inhalers and steroids- and surely for the sake of good health it is worth the effort.
This may sound a bit new-age and crazy, but I've also heard that learning and regularly practising the buteyko breathing technique considerably helps ashtma symptoms. Look into these things because keeping a clean house and changing clothes more often isn't exactly going to damage anyone's health so it can't do any harm.

There is no scientific evidence that Homeopathy is effective.
Here from wilkepedia.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy#column-one), search (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy#searchInput)
Homeopathy (also spelled homœopathy or homoeopathy), from the Greek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language) words όμοιος, hómoios (similar) and πάθος, páthos (suffering, disease),[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy#_note-0) is a controversial type of alternative medicine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_medicine) that aims to treat "like with like." The term "homoeopathy" was coined by the German (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany) physician Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Friedrich_Samuel_Hahnemann) (1755 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1755)–1843 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1843)) and first appeared in print in 1807.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy#_note-1)
Homeopathic treatment involves giving a patient with symptoms of an illness extremely small doses of the agents that produce the same symptoms in healthy people when exposed to larger quantities. A homeopathic remedy is prepared by diluting the substance in a series of steps. Many homeopathic remedies are so highly diluted that no molecules of the original substance are likely to remain after dilution.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy#_note-2)[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy#_note-3) Homeopathy asserts that the remedy will retain a memory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Memory) of the diluted substance and the therapeutic potency of a remedy can be increased by serial dilution combined with succussion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succussion), or vigorous shaking.
Since its inception homeopathy has received significant criticism on scientific and medical grounds. The belief that extreme dilution makes drugs more powerful by enhancing their "spirit-like medicinal powers"[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy#_note-4) is inconsistent with the laws (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecule) of chemistry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry) and physics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics) and the observed dose-response relationships (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dose-response_relationship) of conventional drugs. Several pro-homeopathic articles published in highly regarded journals were later withdrawn.[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy#_note-5) Additionally, the use of homeopathic drugs to prevent malaria infection (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaria) has had life-threatening consequences.[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy#_note-6)[8] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy#_note-7) Consequently, critics of homeopathy have described it as pseudoscience (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoscience)[9] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy#_note-8) and quackery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quackery).[10] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy#_note-9)
Having said that..( hmm,what happened to my font)..well anyway if someone thinks that homeopathy or any other remedy is helping them then "My" recommendation is to take it as long as it doesn't cause harm.
Regarding your condition..I assume that you have seen allergy specialists and have undergone allergy shots or other methods recommended by them.
In any case allergy sufferers usually will get releif only as long as they take their prescribed meds.
As you say when you stop the meds your symptoms return'.
Unfortunately that is the way it usually is although it often helps to rotate meds..when one stops working try another etc.
So you can get relief but rarely a cure.
At least that's the way I see it.
erm they sucked dint work but then again neither do regular medicines :|
I understand how you are recomending that i clean my house top to bottom but what you dont realise is that to clean the house you need to go near dust which triggers the allergy that lasts all day long!, and yeah others could do it for me but still there is only an axtent to how much your house can be clean.
and i have tries all these recomendations however they only seem to work for a limited time...for example i know some1 who tried drinking aloe vera 3 times everyday and her hayfever has actually got better...however i tried it and it didnt work at all and by the way it tastes disgusting!lol
to stop sneezing splash freezing cold water over your face and secondly and more disgustingly put almond oil up your nose..lol. its been proven to work.
oh yeh n ive recently read in the newspapers that Haymax is meant to be a good remedy for hayfever...has any1 tried it?
