Allopathic and homeopathic systems are two different forms of treatments. When should one go for homeopathic medicines? In what cases is homeopathic treatment more suitable than allopathic treatment?

Allopathy works well in acute cases whereas homeopathy is excellent for chronic diseases.

I always wanted to try homeopathy. I don't like using medication that isn't natural, so homeopathy is really the answer for me. I understand it is quite interesting, even the diagnosing part where you have to make your symptoms into some kind of poetry.

Homoeopathy is a Science where the test is done on humans themselves, so whatever reactions happen are on humans and noted, and not on animals. It cures the disease from within, the root cause, but it is very slow acting and takes months to see the effect. However it has no side effects and the cure is permanent. With Allopathy, its the reverse. Test on animals, quick effect, superficial cure but then one wants to be up and about immediately, so I guess Allopathy is more preferred. I guess if the disease is very old, then you should try Homoeopathy too along side Allopathy. Guess both the Science fields are good.

Homeopathy treatment is best for children as it is very safe and they tend to respond for this type of treatment even as they grow. Children like it because of its sweet pill and there is no problem of forcing the medicine on them. In acute cases allopathy gives immediate relief. The type of treatment also depends on the person and his reaction to the medicines. In my case too much of allopathy medicine makes me bleed while passing stools. I respond very well to homeopathic medicines without any side effects although it takes long to get cured. Welcome to mylot and happy mylotting.
