Almost all ailments or conditions are viewed within the profession as being amenable to homeopathic treatment. Homeopathy is best known, however, for its ability to treat chronic ailments. Skin diseases, chronic gastric and intestinal disorders, chronic fatigue syndromes, migraines, asthma, allergic disorders, menstrual complaints, other hormonal disorders, arthritis, psychological disorders, and so on are viewed as being potentially improved by the application of Homeopathy. Gross structural and pathological changes are not viewed as being strongly influenced by Homeopathy.
Homeopathy versus Conventional Medicine
Homeopathy looks at symptoms as a way the body tries to repair itself, whereas conventional medicine sees a symptom as something wrong which must be set right. For example, if you develop a cough, a conventional medicine practitioner may give you ways to suppress the cough (a lozenge, medicine, etc). On the other hand, a homeopath will give you a remedy that will cause a cough in a healthy person, and thus stimulate the ill body to restore itself.
In conventional therapy, the aim often is to control the illness through regular use of medical substances, even if the medication is nothing more than vitamins. If the medication is withdrawn, however, the person returns to illness. There has been no cure. A person who takes a pill for high blood pressure every day is not undergoing a cure but is only controlling the symptoms. Homeopathy's aim is the cure – the complete restoration of health.
Because not all symptoms are alike, homeopaths look for the one substance that will cause similar symptoms in a healthy person. Conventional practitioners, on the other hand, often treat all symptoms alike. To homeopaths, a healthy person is a person who is free on all levels: Physical, emotional, and mental.

Very, informative post. I've come across several blogs today about Homeopathy and their possible healing process. Yes, homeopathy works, specially for children. Homeopathy abides by the ethos that a person should be treated as a whole and treatments are therefore likely to be multi-faceted. It is considered an alternative treatment to conventional drugs and medications. To know more about Homeopathy and different benefits, consult Dr. Gez Agolli and his team of expert naturopathic practitioners in Atlanta. Follow this link http://www.gezagolli.info/
