The purpose of homeopathy is the restoration of the body to homeostasis or healthy balance which is a natural state. The symptoms of a disease are regarded as the body's own defensive attempt to correct its imbalance, rather than the enemies to be defeated. Because a homeopath regards symptoms as positive evidence of the body's inner intelligence, he or she will prescribe a remedy designed to stimulate this internal curative process, rather than suppress the symptoms.

Some symptoms can be so subtle that the patient is not always completely aware of them, and the doctor must spend time getting to know the patient. The initial visit often includes a long questionnaire about a patient's medical and family history, and the doctor, who prompts the patients with many questions. The homeopathic doctor will use lab tests as and when required to assess a patient's general level of health.

A visit to a homeopath can be a different experience than a visit to a regular physician.

Surveys have shown that homeopathic doctors spend much more time during initial consultations than conventional doctors spend. This is because a homeopath does a complete case-taking to get a complete picture of a persons general health and lifestyle, as well as particular symptoms, on the physical, mental and emotional levels.

Alternative Medicine physicians seek to cure their patients on the physical, mental and emotional levels, and each treatment is tailored to a patient's individual needs.

Studies have been published in British medical journals confirming the efficacy of homeopathic remedies in treating infections, circulatory problems, respiratory problems, heart disease, depression and nervous disorders, migraines, headaches, allergies, arthritis, and diabetes and many more such disorders.

Alternative Medicine is generally a safe treatment, as it uses medicines in extremely diluted quantities, and there are usually minimal side effects. Its non-toxicity makes it a good choice even for the treatment of children. The medicines used in homeopathy influence the body's regulatory mechanism to gradually bring about complete healing. Alternative Medicine remedies are believed to stimulate the body's own healing processes.

Alternative Medicine is a holistic system of treatment that originated in the late eighteenth century in Germany.

Alternative Medicine is a natural form of medicine used by over 200 Million people worldwide to treat both acute and chronic conditions. Any illness causes an imbalance that affects the complete individual, Alternative medicine does not just focus on the affected body part or system but treats the whole person.
