Homeopathy is a system of alternative medicine created in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann, based on his doctrine of like cures like (similia similibus curentur), which means a substance that causes the symptoms of a disease in healthy people would be able to cure similar symptoms in sick people. The homoeopathic preparations are manufactured using a process of homeopathic dilution, in which a chosen substance reduces in its physiological entity ais repeatedly diluted in alcohol or distilled water. Dilution typically continues well past the point where no molecules of the original substance remain,but the essence of medicinal properties of that drug is carried. Hence, theres no physiological substance, and no side effects of medicines.
Every individual is born with uniquness which reflects in his living, thinking, perceiving and reacting to his life, things around and his illness. Hence he exhibist same uniqness through his feelings, perceptions, delusions, sensations even in his fears and his dreams.
Health is a state of harmony, in reflects unique innate potential he is born with. He has a capacity to deal with any external factor to bring back this harmony in state of health.
Many a time, this uniquness is veiled apart in reflecting it’s genuine nature due to developmental, social, cultural, educational, economical and many other factors. There comes a gap between their innate percetion and its reflection. They may feel strech in disharmony of what they were, inborn unique and what they have become.

Any illness is a cry of internal derangement happened now or before. The outward expressions of this cry will be individualistic, and different from person to person, which we call as a disease. To understand illness, we need to understand the individual and cry. 10 individuals of diabetis mellitus will describe their feeling, sensation ,delusion, fear with diabetes differently. To treat diabetis from the root, the wiser is to understand a cry due to which diabetis happened.Hence to remove disease from root, it is important to understand individual who has got the disease.
"It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has." Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.)
Every individual is been gifted with unique innate potentials [ which we know as immunity in general terms ] to either resist or heal disease. Health,is the state of harmony continues till our natural healing potential can instigates to heal from within. The moment “doctor with in” deranges, cannot stimulate healings from within and need a help of medicines from outside. Available outside help can be in various ways modern medicines, giving antibiotics, antivirals, antipyretics and anti-inflammatory medicines or surgically removing the parts; would less likely acknowledge the root cause of the disease.
On the contrary, homoeopathy helps from inside, understands the nature of an individual, disease and the root cause of derangement. When medicine introduced on bases of that, enables the natural healing correct the disease from the root. Hence “doctor within” is again ready to take charge of the innate potential for overcoming illnesses. That’s where homoeopathy claims to increase “immunity”, which happens in all cases but evidently seen in acute illnesses comes with recurrence, like frequent alllergic cold and cough.
Moreover, modern medicines, having a physiological properties may cause side effects, on over use or, reactions or suppressions of symptoms temporarily inside and come back with bloom when medicines are withdrawn.

The time it takes would depend upon how deep the derangement has happened. For the chronic disease of years like, arthritis, or ulcerative colitis may take few months to recover completely. But for acute diseases like cold cough fever, which hasn’t cause much derangement internally are claimed to be cured with in a span of few hours to few days and without any side effects.
