Principles of homeopathy

Some people do not see the difference between homeopathy and herbal medicine. But the basis for the treatment method under consideration was the statement that like should be treated with like.

It is also worth understanding that homeopathic preparations contain such a minimal amount of the original substance that it cannot be measured in milligrams.

To do this, you will need to dilute the substance several times in liquid and shake well. This procedure helps the water “remember” the structure of the substance, its strength, while it is contained in the water in an infinitesimal dose.

An equally significant principle is an individual approach to each patient when creating a medicinal product. They say that the effect of the medicine is not directed at the disease itself, but at the patient.

Homeopathic practices

In private practices, homeopaths select individual prescriptions using their own techniques. The Code “On the Health of the People and the Health Care System” dated September 18, 2009 classifies such practices of homeopathy as folk healing. Article 54 of the Code clarifies that the right to practice folk healing, including homeopathy, is granted to persons with medical education who have received the appropriate license. Such homeopaths are included in the Register of Healers of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and they are issued special certificates for activities and certificates of a traditional healer. There are no strict requirements for obtaining a license and certification: basic medical knowledge and accreditation are sufficient. Accreditation is issued by organizations that conduct advanced training courses for traditional healers.

If you apply to such private practices, ask to see valid license documents and a traditional healer ID. The presence of documents indicates that the homeopath is ready to bear responsibility for his prescriptions if something happens. In addition, it is worth checking that the document is genuine. This can be done on the electronic licensing website of the Republic of Kazakhstan: on the main page there is an item “Search for permits”. Search by license number. In the search results, check who the license was issued to, whether it is valid, and whether it has been renewed. Some licenses also specify subtypes of activity. Homeopaths must have a valid medical license.

Also, please note that there is no form of control over homeopathic dilutions. What and in what concentrations he will give the patient, in what sanitary conditions he will prepare his preparations is entirely on the conscience of the homeopath himself.
