Question 1

someone recommended ruta graveolens to help with sciatic nerve pain. can you tell me if this could work?

Accepted Answer

Homeopathic Ruta: The homeopathic remedy ruta graveolens has many uses.  It's frequently called for in arthritic pains, tendon injuries, sprains, and also periosteal injuries.  Sciatica is another use -- but there are also over 280 remedies known to help in sciatica. Each is slightly different. If ruta doesn't work for you, you can consult a professional homeopath for a remedy more appropriate for your case.

Question 2

which type is silica x for homeopathy?

Accepted Answer

Silica: Silica is a mineral remedy from the 3rd row of the periodic table.  It's sometimes needed in patients who have very low self-confidence, and who long to be seen in a special way by others.  They may be very obstinate, yet extremely anxious about details.  Silica can also help in certain kinds of pharyngitis, sinusitis, and abscesses.  The "x" means a potency on the decimal scale, such as 12x.

Question 3

is homeopathic is best for apendicities?

Accepted Answer

A surgical disease: Acute appendicitis is an infection of the appendix and timely treatment with appropriate antibiotic may avoid urgent surgery, but otherwise it is considered a surgical disease--meaning you need surgery to correct it. I am not aware of any effective homeopathic remedy for this condition. If this is something you have now, please consult doc asap before complication kicks in. Good luck.

Question 4

how is phosphorus which is used in homeopathy?

Accepted Answer

Phosphorus: Homeopathic phosphorus can be used in a wide variety of situations and symptoms.  For instance, it can help certain people with anxiety disorders.  Individuals needing phosphorus are often very bright, sensitive to others and to the environment, and very worried about their health. They may also have nosebleeds and recurrent respiratory infections.  Just a start, here.

Question 6

can aloepacia be treated completely by homeopathy?

Accepted Answer

In many cases but...: Western medicine does not have reliable treatments for most alopecia so homeopathy is well worth exploring. 
Homeopaths often successfully cure alopecia but there are many possible remedies and only one is likely to be the one that will work, so it is important to find a skilled homeopath. If the first remedy you try does not work that means there is a better fit. See

Question 7

are  there any homeopathic cures for leukodystrophy?

Question 8

how does water homeopathy work?

Accepted Answer

Please clarify: I'm a homeopath but am not sure what you mean by "water homeopathy." most homeopathic remedies are sold as pellets, but they can be dissolved in water.One advantage of using remedies this way is their potency can be adjusted further by shaking and diluting.Many md's believe homeopathy doesn't work. I have no doubt it works, but i don't think anyone knows exactly how it works, despite many theories!

Question 9

why do people promote homeopathy?

Accepted Answer

Homeopathy: I can answer for Classical (single remedy) Homeopathy. Most often the people who speak positively of it are those who have benefited personally from it. They tell about their recovery from conditions which were causing suffering -- often not helped by conventional treatments. Homeopathy helped me recover from a painful case of PTSD, without side effects. I'm also a professional homeopath now too.
