A Practical Guide on Veterinary First Aid using Homeopathy

Homeopathy has been around since the late 1700s. In many cases it can be used as the sole treatment for many maladies but also can be used as an adjunct to conventional medical protocols. The basic premise for its use is that ' Like cures like'. This basis that a sickness or malady can be cured by a substance that produces symptoms similar to the the disease in healthy subjects is what has driven homeopathy for many years. The safety of homeopathic remedies lies in the fact that they are prepared by dilution. This means that at the end of the process in making a homeopathic preparation no active molecule of the original substance will remain in the final product. This today remains to be the one issue that makes its' use hard to comprehend. Never the less there is no placebo effect in animals. Even though it may not be warranted for all pets, certainly their road to wellness using homeopathy, merits giving it a try.
