Now that "cold & flu" season is approaching, as well as the time where people do a lot of traveling (the airplane is a perfect place to pick up a viral infection) for the holidays, I wanted to let you know about something we offer to our patients. We combine two specific homeopathic remedies (Engystol and Gripp-Heel), given in an injection, designed to boost your natural immunity. There is in-vitro data showing greater than 40% white blood cell activity (the infection fighters) when both are used together.
The optimal way to use it seems to be a shot the week preceding your trip and the day or two before the flight. You could also see benefit taking it a few days before travel or exposure (visiting sick grandchildren, etc.)
Remember that homeopathy is an energy medicine and will not interfere with anything else you are taking and is a good addition to anyone's health regimen.
Homeopathy Background
Homeopathy, also known as homeopathic medicine, is a whole medical system that originated in Germany more than 200 years ago and has been practiced in the United States since the early 19th century. Homeopathy is used for wellness and prevention and to treat many diseases and conditions.
Homeopathy seeks to stimulate the body's ability to heal itself by giving very small doses of highly diluted substances that in larger doses would produce illness or symptoms (an approach called "like cures like"). This therapeutic method was developed by German physician Samuel Christian Hahnemann at the end of the 18th century. Hahnemann articulated two main principles:
1) The principle of similars (or "like cures like") states that a disease can be cured by a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people. This idea, which can be traced back to Hippocrates, was further developed by Hahnemann after he repeatedly ingested cinchona bark, a popular treatment for malaria, and found that he developed the symptoms of the disease. Hahnemann theorized that if a substance could cause disease symptoms in a healthy person, small amounts could cure a sick person who had similar symptoms.
2) The principle of dilutions (or "law of minimum dose") states that the lower the dose of the medication, the greater its effectiveness. In homeopathy, substances are diluted in a stepwise fashion and shaken vigorously between each dilution. This process, referred to as "potentization," is believed to transmit some form of information or energy from the original substance to the final diluted remedy. Most homeopathic remedies are so dilute that no molecules of the healing substance remain; however, in homeopathy, it is believed that the substance has left its imprint or "essence," which stimulates the body to heal itself (this theory is called the "memory of water").
Homeopathic remedies are derived from natural substances that come from plants, minerals, or animals. Common remedies include red onion, arnica (mountain herb), and stinging nettle plant.
