How to get through one.
Yes, like any other system of medicine, homeopathy also has its limitations.

  • a surgical problem which has progressed far beyond its initial stages might not respond to homoeopathy.

  • some sudden life threatening situations like heart attacks,paralytic strokes,diabetic comas etc. might have to be initially treated with conventional medicine, till the patient is out of danger.

  • It is relatively slow acting as compared to many methods of conventional medicine.

  • The success rate is not 100%. (like any other system of medicine)



Alternative medicine is usually very good at treating drawn-out diseases and ailments like cancer, diabetes and adrenal disorders, but not so good with emergency situations. In instances which involve severe injury like those which may be present after an automobile accident; there is no doubt that the person needs conventional medicine, and quickly.
