Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a practice of medicine that has
been around for about 200 years. It is based upon what is called the
Law of Similars and works on the same principle as do immunizations:
give someone a small dose of what would make them sick to cure their
sickness. Treatments have been proven in clinical trials, and are
prepared by a homeopathic pharmacy under FDA guidelines. Researchers
don’t completely understand how homeopathic medicines work, but the
evidence is clear that they do. Homeopathy has been popular in Europe
and India for a long time, and is gaining popularity in the United
States. Many practitioners are doctors or have some other kind of
medical degree, perhaps in nursing or psychology. The legal issues
surrounding homeopathic practitioners that do not have medical degrees
is unclear, but most homeopathic remedies are sold over the counter and
do not need a prescription. Here are some natural homeopathic
remedies that are helpful in alleviating back pain:
AESCULUS: used for dull, nagging pain
ARNICA MONTANA: used in cases of trauma to the back
COLOCYNTHIS: used for weakness and muscle cramps in the lower back
GNAPHALIUM: used to treat sciatica, which is often associated with back
pain
LYCOPODIUM: used to treat burning pain
RHUS TOXICODENDRON: used for lower back stiffness and pain
