Homeopathy
Its gentle and subtle approach make homeopathy a very popular alternative medicine for women for treating or preventing illnesses.
Dr. Birgit Kapfinger-Bruckner is the homeopathic specialist at Woman & Health.
The law of similars, "let like be cured by like", is the basic principle of homeopathy. The deciding factor when choosing a homeopathic preparation is the concept that undiluted it may cause similar symptoms in a healthy person that the diseased one suffers from.
The patient then receives the preparation in low dosage and specially prepared "potentised" form.
Homeopathy often aids with medical conditions typical for women:
- menstruation troubles
- menstrual disorder
- wishes for children
- problems during pregnancy and lactation period
- problems during the menopause
- chronic infections
- allergies and various skin disorders such as neurodermatitis
- indigestion issues
