| In homeopathy, a method of making homeopathic remedies through a process of shaking and dilution. Minute particles of matter, chosen for their healing attributes, are suspended in water, and then the mixture is put through a series of dilutions and succussions until only the imprint of the energetic signature of the substance, rather than the physical substance itself, is left in the solution. superposition of states: The state in which quantum entities take on all possible allowable characteristics until measured or otherwise constrained. |
| He suggests that homeopathy might be correct in its claim that water can be imprinted with information, that water has a memory.31 homeopathic remedies are made from substances, such as minerals or plants, that are placed in a solution, usually mostly water, which is then succussed (vigorously shaken). The solution is then diluted further and the procedure repeated, often until not a single molecule of the original substance remains in the remedy. All that remains is information. |

Today, the alternative-medicine industry, which includes vitamins, supplements, homeopathic remedies, and herbs, is a $46-billion-per-year business, large enough to compete with pharmaceutical companies. Sales of vitamins alone are $17 billion a year and growing because a lot of us buy into the argument that vitamins are worth the money. If you were to follow the advice of one company (Life Extension), as many do, you would spend a minimum of $7,248 per year on vitamins. |

Biochemical Tissue Salts
In the late 1800s Dr William Schuessler, a German physician, originated what he called a biochemic system of medicine. He identified 12 'tissue salts' which he claimed were vital for health and could cure simple, everyday ailments. Schuessler believed that not only was disease an unnatural condition and at variance with the intentions of nature, but that within the body itself were the most potent weapons in the battle against disease. |
| Tissue salts and homeopathic remedies do not conflict with other forms of treatment or prescribed medication but serious conditions should always be treated under medical supervision. Taking them does not mean you should stop any pharmaceutical medication for asthma, but it may be possible to reduce your need for it.

At least once a week reward yourself by buying or doing something that makes you feel good. |

Homeopathy was popular in the nineteenth century, but as orthodox medicine began to have great success treating dangerous diseases with a new generation of drugs—the antibiotics and their relatives—support for homeopathy waned. In more recent years it has regained favour, partly because of the known support of homeopathy by the British Royal Family. |

Individuals did not have to be medically trained to read Hahnemann's Organon, or to purchase an appropriate selection of homeopathic remedies. In fact, creative homeopathic entrepreneurs across Europe were soon selling kits specifically designed for outward-bound colonists and empire-builders. The rising popularity of homeopathy was noted by the Anglo-Indian press, one journal observing in 1852 that homeopathy was 'extensively practiced by amateurs, in the civil and military services'. |

This means that the same substance that in large doses produces the symptoms of an illness can cure it in very minute doses. homeopathic remedies are "poten-tized" from tinctures, meaning they are diluted and shaken, sometimes 200 times or more. The result is that the final remedy is diluted such a degree that it contains no molecules of the original substance, only its energetic vibration. According to homeopathic theory, the more times the remedy is potentized, the more powerful it is and the deeper effect it will have. |

Whether or not the homeopathic remedies cured cholera, they were certainly no less effective than their allopathic counterparts, and were considerably kinder. And of course it was his experiments with the effects of quinine (then the most effective treatment for malaria) that Hahnemann credited with inspiring homeopathy in the first place.
Homeopathy, then, thrived in India in part because it was not intrinsically opposed to Indian culture and medical traditions. |

The following is a list of some of the most commonly used homeopathic remedies. Most prepackaged products include a combination of several different homeopathic remedies. |
