Homeopathy is treating a patient with tiny doses of a substance if given in large doses would produce symptoms of the concerned ailment.
Unlike Allopathy where self medication could prove to be dangerous, Homoeopathy is safe and one can self help with it. There are several books available online which are free for download. Here is a link

Symptoms and
Homoeopathy has no side effects and it is rare that it could worsen any ailment.
Homoeopathy is based on symptoms and the constitution of an individual. That having said a homoeopathic doctor cannot always pick the right medicine as he would have no time to understand a patient and he often uses the trial and error method taking months to cure a patient.
On the other hand self help can do that with just one dose sometimes. The person concerned knows about them in and out and this knowledge helps one choose the right dose.
Recently I had consulted a homoeopathic doctor about numbness that I was experiencing. He treated me for varicose veins. It did not work as he did not ask for the whole history. I had herpes zoster a few years ago and that resulted in a damaged nerve on my left thigh. I took law in my hands and started treating myself for the damaged nerve instead. I am now on the road to recovery.
The advantage of a homoeopathic remedy is that while one takes it for a particular ailment it has the power to take care of any other symptoms that a patient may have. To elaborate,
This remedy, as also others, could cure so many ailments although it could be prescribed for a particular symptom. The doctor will prescribe it, for example, for “Backache in lumbar region. Burning in spine; worse, 3 to 4 am. Cervico-brachial neuralgia; worse, touch. Must sit up in order to turn in bed. Bruised pain below scapulæ. Sitting is painful.”

I have faith in homoeopathy. I use it for my pets as well.
It is advisable to keep a stock of some common medicines which come in handy for ailments such as a toothache, fever, cold, stomach upset, head ache, pain due to exertion, etc.
Homoeopathy medicines have a long life if kept away from light and the bottles tightly closed.
Reading through the Materia Medica one gets a good idea of the potencies and dosage which are important while taking homoeopathy medicines. And this one acquires with practice.
A few pellets, may be just three or four, need to be dropped in the mouth without touching them. They have to be kept in the mouth until they dissolve. Medicines are taken normally half an before or after food.
There is no harm in taking allopathy medicines if one has trust in them along with homoeopathy keeping the same rule of taking homoeopathy medicine half an hour before or after the medicine is taken.
After all holistic approach to healthy living is the secret of remaining healthy.

Homeopathy medicines are the best medicines all over the world with the passage of time allopathy will disappear from whole world because homeopathy will uproot the diseases and its root cause from human life organs.
The law of similars states that whatever would cause your symptoms, will also cure those same symptoms. Thus, if you find yourself unable to sleep, taking caffeine will help; streaming eyes due to hayfever can be treated with onions, and so on. This so-called law was based upon nothing other than Hahnemann's own imagination.
You don't need to have a medical degree to see the flawed reasoning in taking caffeine - a stimulant - to help you sleep; yet caffeine is, even today, prescribed by homeopaths (under the name 'coffea') as a treatment for insomnia.
Despite being rooted in supersition, ritual and sympathetic magick, the laws devised by Hahnemann are still in use by homeopaths today.
For Hahnemann's Laws to be correct, we would have to toss out practically everything we have learned over the past two centuries about biology, pharmacology, mathematics, chemistry and physics. Illnesses are not effectively treated by administering substances which cause similar symptoms; serial dilution and succussion does not 'potentize' a remedy. Water has no memory, nor any way of using one if it did! Homeopathy could never work in the way Hahnemann described it, but does it work at all?
Modern homeopaths believe that this 'potentization' process allows the water to retain the 'memory' or 'vibrations' of the original substance, long after it has been diluted away to nothing. Of course, there is no good scientific evidence to suggest that water has such an ability, nor any indication of how it might be able to use this 'memory' to cure a sick patient.
