Homeopathist
A homeopath is a doctor who treats various diseases with homeopathic remedies.
Homeopathy is an alternative form of medicine that was first proposed by S. Hahnemann, a German physician and scientist. This method is based on the principle “like can cure like”. To understand it, you can consider the following example: in case of poisoning with mercury vapor, the kidneys will suffer, therefore, for their therapy, you will need to take a smaller dose of mercury and the kidneys will be cured.
Only a doctor who has a diploma from a higher medical institution and who has received an additional specialty in homeopathic therapy can engage in treatment with the use of homeopathic medicines. The more experience such a specialist has, the more likely he will be able to save the patient from the disease, since the circle of his knowledge becomes wider over the years.
Homeopathy seeks to strengthen the internal reserves of the body, to activate them and, thus, to heal a person from the disease. The disease is considered to be the body's response to a pathogenic factor. While the symptoms of the disease are external manifestations of an internal struggle, which is always strictly individual. The body's reaction largely depends on the patient's age, his constitution, the reserves of the immune system (see also: What is immunity?), Heredity.
