Homeopathy isAlternative medicineIs a kind ofinvalidOfPseudoscienceTherapy.[5]The theoretical basis of homeopathy is "the same preparation for the treatment of similar diseases", which means that in order to treat certain diseases, it is necessary to use a kind of medicine that can produce the same effect in healthy peoplesymptomThe medicament of.For example, toxic plantsbelladonnaCan cause a pulsatileheadache、High feverandFacial flushing。Therefore, belladonna, a homeopathic medicine, is used to treat patients with fever and sudden pulsatile headache.
Homeopathy(English: homeopathy), also known asHomotherapy, oneSubstitution therapy, a German doctorSamuel Hahnemann (Samuel Hahnemann) was founded in the 18th century. He found that he took a small amount ofcinchonaAfter skin, fever similar to malaria can appear.HahnemannHe was extremely disgusted with the treatment methods used at that time (such as the use of toxic arsenic and mercury, and the very painful but unproven operations such as bleeding and catharsis).He continued to test other substances on himself and healthy friends, recording the types of symptoms they caused, so he believed that they could also cure these symptoms.
Historical origin

German doctors and pharmacists at the end of the 18th centurySamuel Hahnemann A new treatment method is proposed.At that time, bloodletting, leeches, air extractors, laxatives and arsenic and other hair raising treatments were in vogue, while other drug treatments were still rare.Hanemann wants to give up these horrible therapies.So he let some healthy people take itCinchona cream(Quinine), these people soon developed the same symptoms as malaria patients, such as fever, rapid pulse and cold limbs.Therefore, Hanemann believes that the reason why these drugs can have therapeutic effects is that they can produce the same symptom of "fighting against poison with poison", so he constructed the therapeutic theory of "the same kind cures the same kind".HomeopathyGreekHomoios and pathoia[1]From then on, it was born.
After that, he made a series of arguments to test other drugs on healthy volunteers and himself.Homeopathy has become popular in some countries, and even some universities have set up this specialty.In the 1960s, this therapy was popular in the United States.according toNational Institutes of HealthAccording to the official website, a survey in 1999 showed that about 6 million Americans were using this therapy.
Invention

Hahnemann invented a method of using these substances to make very dilute preparations.First, soak a certain substance in alcohol for several weeks, and filter the soaking solution to obtain the "mother tincture" of the substance.Then, he used some mother tincture to obtain the final medicine through repeated dilution with water and strong shaking (shock).Until now, the same basic procedure is still used to manufacture homeopathic medicine.
The final medicament often does not even contain a molecule of the original substance, which orthodox science believes will cause the medicament to lose its activity.However, homeopathic doctors claim that the use of this method to dilute and shock the medicine can actually make it more effective. It seems that violent shaking can transfer energy to water and leave a memory of the original substance.Homeopathic physicians call it intensification. According to the times of dilution, these drugs can get differentpotential energy。The common potential energy levels (in the order of increasing dilution times) are 6c, 12c, 30c and 200c.The fewer times of dilution (called low potential energy), the smaller the efficacy and the shorter the duration of action.In addition to tinctures, there are also homeopathic medicines such as sugar based tablets, pills, granules and powders for oral use. Some can also be made into emulsions or ointments and directly applied to the skin.
A core concept of homeopathy, called "rehabilitation system", is a functional system of the human body.Supporters of homeopathy claim that the human body has a strong self-healing function.Simply put, "rehabilitation system" is a function of self immunity and self repair of human tissuesRegulating system。
They claim that the rehabilitation system covers all tissues of the human body and plays an extremely amazing self-healing function there.In this huge system, there is a link between self recovery and external cause treatment, namely, spiritual traction, which plays the role of homeopathic guidance and homeopathic promotion.Adjust the body with external force to make the circulatory system andNervous system functionSmooth, deliver the natural recovery strength to each focus.[2]
Development history

As early as 400 BC, Hippocrates, the father of medicine, mentioned it. By 1790, Dr. Hanemann of Germany had excavated it from ancient publications.The research team led by Dr. Hanemann has conducted research for nearly 60 years.

People are paying more and more attention to their own health.Homeopathy and corresponding drugs from abroad have emerged from time to time, and there are many domestic experts who agree with them.For example, the deputy director of the "Health and Human Development Research Center" of Sun Yat sen UniversityMedical anthropologyDr. Chen Hua, the master's supervisor, expressed his support for homeopathy in an interview with the reporter of China Consumer Daily.For the preparation and efficacy of homeopathic drugs, Dr. Chen Hua explained that after each dilution, vigorously shake up.Shake well this process can inject energy into the drug and enhance the efficacy of the drug.[3]
It is worth noting that experts supporting homeopathy are often not specialized in pharmacology.Chen Hua, associate professor of the Department of Anthropology of Sun Yat sen University in GuangzhouSports Humanities and SociologyDoctor, his research direction isPhysical anthropology, medical anthropology and sports anthropology.In addition, the literature related to "homeopathy" was retrieved from the Chinese Academic Literature Network Publishing Database, which was also mostly from TCM institutions and unknown hospitals.
