Homeopathic remedies are commonly used in treating a wide range of illnesses and conditions such as chronic diseases and acute illnesses and viruses but also first aid and minor injuries.

Homeopathy has numerous benefits, however here is a quick summarized list of what I found to be the top benefits you should know about choosing homeopathy as an alternative remedy for natural, healthier living for yourself, your family and even your pets.

1. All Natural

Homeopathic medicines are all natural and do not use synthetic substances, but instead are composed from the healing properties of plants, herbs, flowers, minerals and even animal substances and are used in their whole, natural state.

2. Safety

Homeopathic remedies are safe to use because they are non-toxic and have little to no side effects from their usage. They are a great family medicine because they are safe enough for babies and children to use. In addition, when using a homeopathic remedy, there is no leftover drug residue, build up of tolerance or tendency for addiction either.

3. Highly Effective

In homeopathic medicine, it’s not about suppressing symptoms as in traditional medicine, but about treating and healing the individual as a total being. Homeopathic remedies are highly effective because they treat the person as a whole, going deeper to the root cause of the illness which is an imbalance in the mind and body. Homeopathy also takes into consideration that each person is a unique being with unique variations in metabolism, biochemistry, and reactions so remedies are customized and individual to fit each person’s particular needs and issues.

4. Easy to Use

Homeopathy is based on the premise that the body, mind and emotions are all fully integrated. Therefore homeopathic remedies are simple and easy to use because you don’t need multiple remedies. Homeopathy takes into account the whole entire picture of a person, past, present, mind, body and emotions when determining the correct homeopathic remedy. Generally only one homeopathic remedy is prescribed at a time to heal all the symptoms.

5. Cost Effective

When compared to the cost of traditional medicine and prescription drugs, homeopathic remedies are unbelievably less expensive. This is most likely due to the fact that they are not patented and marketed like traditional prescription drugs which increases the cost for the end user. Also, many natural remedies are easy to obtain and are available over the counter at any local farmer’s markets or organic food or health stores in your area.
