About Homeopathy
What is homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a natural, holistic system of medicine developed over 200 years ago. It works on the principle of "like cures like" and uses highly diluted natural substances to stimulate the body's own healing abilities.
Is homeopathy scientifically proven?
Yes, homeopathy has been practiced successfully for over 200 years worldwide. While conventional scientific understanding of the mechanism is still evolving, millions of people experience positive results. It works on infants, animals, and unconscious patients who cannot experience placebo effects.
Is homeopathy just placebo?
No. Homeopathy works on babies, animals, and unconscious patients where placebo effect is not possible. Clinical use over 200+ years and positive outcomes in double-blind studies demonstrate real therapeutic effects beyond placebo.
Safety & Side Effects
Are homeopathic medicines safe?
Yes, homeopathic medicines are extremely safe. They are highly diluted and prepared from natural substances, making them free from toxic side effects. They can be safely used by people of all ages, including pregnant women, infants, and elderly.
Are there any side effects?
Homeopathic medicines have no harmful side effects. Occasionally, there may be a temporary aggravation of symptoms (healing crisis), which indicates the remedy is working. This is brief and followed by improvement.
Can I take homeopathy with other medications?
Yes, homeopathic medicines can generally be taken alongside conventional medicines without interactions. However, always inform both your doctor and our pharmacist about all treatments you're using for best coordination of care.
Is homeopathy safe during pregnancy?
Yes, homeopathy is completely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Many pregnancy-related complaints like nausea, back pain, and anxiety can be safely treated with homeopathy without risk to mother or baby.
Treatment & Effectiveness
How long does homeopathy take to work?
Response time varies by condition. Acute conditions (colds, injuries, fever) often show improvement within hours to days. Chronic conditions take longer - typically weeks to months depending on severity and how long you've had the condition.
What conditions can homeopathy treat?
Homeopathy can treat a wide range of acute and chronic conditions including allergies, asthma, arthritis, digestive disorders, skin diseases, hormonal imbalances (thyroid, PCOD), anxiety, depression, migraine, and many others.
Can homeopathy cure chronic diseases?
Yes, homeopathy is particularly effective for chronic conditions. It treats the root cause rather than just suppressing symptoms, leading to long-lasting improvement. Success depends on the nature of the disease, its duration, and individual response.
Why does homeopathy take longer than allopathy?
Homeopathy works by stimulating your body's natural healing rather than suppressing symptoms. This deep, lasting healing takes time but provides better long-term results with no side effects or dependency.
Dosage & Administration
How should I take homeopathic medicines?
Take medicines in a clean mouth (no food/drink 15 minutes before and after). Let pills dissolve under the tongue. Avoid strong flavors like coffee, mint, and camphor during treatment as they may antidote remedies.
What if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's close to the next dose time, skip the missed dose. Don't double up. Homeopathy is gentle and forgiving - occasional missed doses won't significantly impact treatment.
Can I take multiple remedies together?
It's best to take one remedy at a time for best results. Our experienced pharmacist can guide you on the correct sequence and combination if multiple remedies are needed for your condition.
What potency should I use?
The correct potency (6C, 30C, 200C, etc.) depends on your specific symptoms and condition. Visit our pharmacy or call us for personalized guidance from our experienced pharmacist. For self-treatment of simple acute conditions, 30C is commonly used.
Choosing a Homeopath
Do I need to consult before buying medicines?
For best results, especially for chronic conditions, we recommend consulting a qualified homeopath. Our pharmacy provides free consultation and guidance from our experienced pharmacist for selecting the right medicines. For simple acute conditions, you can use common remedies available at our pharmacy.

Buy from reputable pharmacies that stock authenticated brands like SBL, Dr. Reckeweg, and Schwabe. Yeelo Homeopathy in Dhunela, Sohna provides 100% authentic medicines with expert guidance.
Are all homeopathic brands the same?
Quality can vary between brands. Stick to established, reputable manufacturers like SBL, Dr. Reckeweg, Schwabe, Allen, and Bakson who follow strict quality standards and proper manufacturing processes.
Lifestyle & Diet
Should I avoid coffee during homeopathic treatment?
Strong coffee, especially in large quantities, can antidote some remedies. Moderate coffee consumption is usually fine, but avoid it around dosing times. Our pharmacist can advise you based on your specific medicines.
Are there dietary restrictions?
Generally, maintain a balanced, healthy diet. Avoid very strong flavors (raw onions, garlic, camphor, mint) close to dosing times. There are no strict restrictions - visit our pharmacy or call for specific guidance based on your medicines.
Can I exercise during treatment?
Yes, regular moderate exercise is beneficial and supports the healing process. Maintain your normal healthy lifestyle routines. Contact our pharmacy if you have specific questions about your medicines.
