1. GERMAN HOMEOPATHY

German homeopathy is a form of homeopathic treatment developed in Germany, with the following fundamental principles:

Dilution and Dynamization: Homeopathic medicines are prepared following the rules of homeopathy through a series of dilutions, accompanied by a process of succussions to potentiate the properties of the active ingredients present in the medicine.

German homeopathy is used for the treatment of diseases, infections, autoimmune disorders, both acute and chronic conditions. It is applied in integrated oncology, internal medicine, rheumatology, dermatology,  often in combination with other natural or conventional treatments. German homeopathy is a treatment that the doctor personalizes based on the patient’s clinical situation, the use of other medications, and physical and mental symptoms. The choice between oral and injectable homeopathic medicines is made by the doctor based on the patient’s specific needs and the assessment of the illness. In some cases, doctors may combine both forms of administration, oral and injectable, to achieve a more comprehensive treatment or to treat various stages of a pathological condition.

Unlike classical homeopathy, which uses a single substance to treat the symptom, German homeopathy uses “complex medicines” that contain more than one active substance to treat the patient’s symptoms and conditions.

German homeopathy has recently developed based on immunological knowledge to be used in combination with conventional medical treatments and drugs, aiming to integrate the best of both worlds. It is a method that has also found widespread use in Europe, particularly among health professionals who practice integrated medicine, combining conventional and alternative medical treatments.

2. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE AND REMEDY

The difference between a “homeopathic medicine” and a “homeopathic remedy” is important, as the two terms are often used interchangeably despite fundamental distinctions.

The term “homeopathic medicine” refers to a homeopathic product that has been standardized and prepared according to pharmaceutical norms and regulations. Production must take place in authorized laboratories that follow specific production and quality control rules, similar to conventional drugs. Homeopathic medicines must comply with safety and quality regulations for pharmaceutical products and can be sold with or without a prescription, depending on the type of product and the pharmaceutical form (injectable vials, oral vials, drops, tablets).

The term “homeopathic remedy” refers to the homeopathic substance used and prepared according to the principles of classical homeopathy. A homeopathic remedy usually contains a single ingredient (plant, mineral, animal substance). The "homeopathic remedy" is chosen based on the patient's physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. Homeopathic remedies can also be prepared by pharmacies on a homeopathic doctor's prescription.

3. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INJECTABLE AND ORAL HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES

Homeopathic medicines can be administered either orally or by injection. The choice of administration mode depends on various factors, including the type of illness, the patient's condition, and the doctor's assessment.

Oral homeopathic medicines are taken by mouth, the most common and traditional method in homeopathy. Oral administration is mainly used for less severe chronic conditions, is simple to use, non-invasive, and can be self-managed by the patient. Oral administration is less indicated for treatments that require rapid action or for patients who have difficulty absorbing oral medications, such as those with gastrointestinal issues or compromised intestinal absorption. I

Injectable homeopathic medicines are administered by intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intradermal injection, under a doctor's prescription. The injection allows the medicine to enter directly into the bloodstream or tissues, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract. It provides faster action and can be useful for treatments in acute or even severe chronic conditions or when a localized effect is required. Injectable administration is more expensive than oral administration because the medicine must be produced following strict pharmaceutical rules in authorized laboratories with specific equipment and machinery that ensure the sterility and quality of the medicine.
