Homeopathy is the practice which is beneficial to one and all. Though the medicine takes a lot more time than the allopathy medicine but it's effect removes the disease from the root of the problem. The homeopathy treatment is effective for all kind of diseases be it simple cold, sinus or be it severe disease like baby eczema.
The practice of Homeopathy how it is being done now leaves a lot of questions - both ethical as well as social responsibility. I would like to share my experience with you all here - my little one suffered from eczyma in the winter months. We were suggested by our elders to use only homeopathy medicine. After finding out a homeopathy practitioner in the hi-tech city area we went to the Doctor expecting some relief for the hapless kid.
Before going there we searched for the eczema on our GURU / knowledge source for all time internet for the medicines to be used. We found out the medicines that could be useful for eczema. But instead of visiting the Homeopathic medicine store we went to the Doctor. After examining our kid the Dr politely gave us a form to fill and asked us to give an amount of Rs 800/-. He also gave some medicine for the kid. He mentioned that we need to return every 3 months and pay the same amount. I was filled with astonishment and amazement and wondered how someone could charge such an exorbitant amount for a small bottle filled with some sugar pellets and little bit of liquid.
We gave the prescribed medicines to our kid for couple of months without any beneficial outcome and the poor guy was still suffering.
The clause about returning back and regular payments be given to the Dr was the surprising part as if we were joining some club where a regular fees needed to be deposited even if we did not use the facilities.
In the small towns the scenario is different, many people practice homeopathy and charge very nominal fees. Some charge only for the medicine, in big cities the practitioners have made this a business and are fleecing people without giving any effective medication. They want the customers to come back regularly and keep filling there coffers. In small towns the Dr is giving the name of the medicine prescribed and it can be purchased from the shop as well directly later on.
Seeing the bad condition of the eczema in my kid's case, my maid told about the natural way of treating such cases. She was a helping hand which I did not expect at all. She suggested to warm water with Neem leaves and give bath to the baby with the same and not use any soaps at all. She also brought some fresh leaves from the neighborhood. We started this method and the results started appearing within a week's time. The skin of my baby improved a lot and he stopped scratching himself all over and not sleeping properly at night.
Homeopathy medicine is very useful as I have used it in my childhood, however it has become purely a business in Hyderabad with the practitioners not caring about the patients as well. The practitioners are busy running schemes where you are forced to enroll for an year, 2 years or more as if you are enrolling for a degree course and at the end of all you will achieve great results. Contrast this with small towns and you find that the medicine is easily available, practitioners are available easily and the kids also have no issues eating the homeopathy medicine. It is a good health option just that in Hyderabad it has been made unaffordable by the way it is being used.
