What is Homeopathy? Homeopathic medicine or Homeopathy, developed by Samuel Hahnemann over two centuries ago, invokes two primary principles. Principle 1: Similia Similibus Curantur First comes Similia Similibus Curantur, or “let likes be treated by likes.” This principle suggests that the same substances that cause a well person to become sick can be used to treat those symptoms in a sick person. A common example would be the onion, for instance. In a well person, an onion may cause itchiness and burning in the eyes, leading to tears and general discomfort. A homeopathic doctor may consider prescribing allium cepa ( micro dosing of the onion) to a patient suffering from similar symptoms such as burning eyes, runny nose, watery eyes for instance. When the symptoms match the characteristics of the remedy, it brings a neutral or curative effect. Principle 2: Minimal Dosage Dr. Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathic medicine, initially started treating ailments with very small doses of herbs and remedies to mitigate the risk of side effects and toxicity. This makes sense when you consider principle #1, “like treats like.” What Symptoms Can Homeopathy help? People come to Dr. Kamat for homeopathy for common illnesses and symptoms.

FAQs Regarding Homeopathic Treatment in Singapore What Does a Homeopathic Doctor Do? A homeopathic doctor listens carefully to your full symptom picture, including physical, emotional, and behavioural patterns. The remedy is selected based on how closely it matches those symptoms in its known effects. The goal is to activate the body’s own healing response using a highly diluted substance that reflects the person’s overall state. Is Homeopathy Regulated Under the Singapore Health Services Act? No. Homeopathic consultations are considered elective services and are not regulated under the Singapore Health Services Act. Dr. Kamat’s work is privately offered. While she holds international licensure in naturopathic and homeopathic medicine, she is not a licensed medical doctor in Singapore. Is Homeopathy Safe? Homeopathic remedies are prepared in extremely diluted concentrations and are intended to work gently without introducing toxic substances. Because they do not contain measurable levels of the original compound, side effects are rare. Dr. Kamat selects remedies based on a well-researched understanding of the individual. Can I Use Homeopathy Alongside Other Treatments? Yes. Many people use homeopathy in combination with naturopathic or conventional medical care.
