what is meant by a homeo medicine proving itself?

Answer 1

Doctrine of Drug Proving

In Homeopathy we prescribe only those medicines whose medicinal properties are known through 'drug proving'. Drug proving is a systematic investigation of pathogenic (disease-producing ) power of medicine on healthy human being of different ages, both sexes and of various constitutions. These recordings of drug proving give the only reliable knowledge of medicines which is very essential to cure disease homeopathically. Different medicines must be proved thoroughly in order to obtain full details of their curative properties. The drug must be proved on human beings because:

1. Animals do not give subjective or mental symptoms.
2. Effects of the same drug on animals and on human beings are different.
3. We do not get the modalities and finer symptoms in animal provings.

The drug must be proved on the healthy human being because:

1. The symptoms of the drug and the disease will be mixed together.
2. Moreover, the action of the drug on the sick person is different from normal person.

Homeopathic proving methods:

Homoeopathic proving is the process in which new remedies are discovered for use in homoeopathic treatment. Provings involve provers, 'healthy' individuals taking a newly prepared homoeopathic remedy. A prover, under the sway of the remedy, is believed to exhibit symptoms that reflect the properties of the substance. The symptoms experienced by provers are collectively analysed to build the foundations of a new remedy picture.

The process of proving has been credited to the founder of homoeopathy, Samuel Hahnemann. The popular history of Hahnemann's first proving begins with his discovery of the poisoning effects of Cinchona bark. Hahnemann was struck by the similarity between the symptoms of Cinchona poisoning and the symptoms of malaria. He therefore decided to administer a dose of Cinchona Bark upon himself and record the symptoms that ensued. Thus in 1790, Hahnemann had conducted his first experiment, later termed proving.

Since the time of Hahnemann the proving process has evolved and grown into a multi-faceted mode of investigation. Methods of proving are highly personalised and of individual relevance to the homoeopath or experimenter. The most common method is the classical or Hahnemannian proving. Of late an extension from the classical proving has been towards intuitive and scientific models.

Homeo (homeopathic) medicine is natural herbs and/or vitamins that can cure some ailments.

Here is the one i am on now.....i eat alot of dairy products and after awhile,i get what they call heel spurs (calcium deposits) which makes it hard to walk,it's very painful.My homeopathic cure for it is taking a magnesium vitamin.
I have done quite abit of research on this and it does work.

The medical community doesn't acknowledge the whole homeopathic theory for some reason,probably because they get kickbacks from the drug manufacturers and the drug companies don't want because it would cut into their profits of not selling their drugs.

There are alot more people are leaning towards alternative medicine nowadays because it DOES work and is alot cheaper.
So homeo medicine will prove itself to be effective.

Answer 3

To explain this simply, when a homeopathic remedy is "proved" it is taken by a group of willing persons and
when the "test" has shown that the remedy has done what it is supposed to. (in healthy individuals, the same "symptoms" that an ill person would show, say for example if a person has runny nose and eyes from an allergy, homeopaths would possibly give Allium (onion) as it has been proved in healthy people to cause runny eyes and nose). Then the remedy has been "proved".
Hope this makes sense.
