In the late eighteenth century, Samuel Hahnemann, German physician, says that a substance as Coffea (coffee) not sleep while in infinitesimal doses it prevents insomnia. From his observations will be born by the medicine that heals the similarity, homeopathy, which uses highly diluted form, the substance capable of causing unrest in a healthy body to heal the same disorders in an individual patient.
The principle: the homeopath looks at the whole person and not just the diseased organ. It seeks to pierce the patient's personality in its uniqueness and to find the treatment that suits them. There are two schools of homeopathy. Homeopathy pluralist not seek to drugs or not substantive, which reinforce the fragile land and the body's ability to restore the balance disturbed. As homeopaths united cists, they consider that a given patient at a specific time, a single remedy is appropriate.
The homeopathic remedy is prepared from a natural substance (plant, mineral or animal) that after maceration and dilution in alcohol becomes a liquid: the mother tincture.
It is diluted and whenever energized (agitated at the first centesimal (1CH *) the thirtieth (30 CH). A drug 5 CH suffered 5 dilutions and potencies successive, meaning that the substance prepared was diluted in 100 parts of water (1CH), then the product was further diluted in the same way (2CH), and so on. All these dilutions permeate small spheres of lactose and sucrose: homeopathic granules. The homeopath chooses dilution according to the seniority of their disorders and psychological or physical dominance.
Directions : homeopathy is effective in diseases caused by malfunction of an organ, without irreversible damage to it. It is thus particularly suitable for young children it invigorates and heals without attacking it chemically and in all chronic diseases (allergy, ENT, skin, gynecological, intestinal, rheumatism, insomnia, headaches) It reactive defenses Spontaneous body against the infectious agent and is acting fast enough on some viral diseases (influenza, herpes zoster, herpes).

Water in all its forms.
You know the well-being provided by a bath or a shower. Used the medical context, water can relieve the pain of certain illnesses.
Hydrotherapy has been used since antiquity and has been a renewed interest in the last century with Dr. Kneipp cures (wet friction, water jets). Currently she is part of thalassotherapy and spa treatments, or care to freshwater (tap water). In fitness centers.

A half-sleep that makes you receptive to the doctor's words.
Unfortunately better known as freak that as medical technology, hypnosis may be the method that will allow you to stop smoking, eliminate chronic pain or make you free of a phobia.
Experienced in psychotherapy in the nineteenth century, hypnosis was eclipsed by psychoanalysis in the early twentieth, but it resurfaced decades later by American Milton Erickson who successfully testing a new medical approach.
Not much practiced by the "psy" hypnosis interested now a growing number of doctors concerned about the interactions between mind and the physical.
the principle hypnosis part of the verbal suggestion that a picture has the power to trigger a physiological or behavioral changes. This is true in the newspaper when the mention of your favorite food makes you salivate (physiological changes) or a campaign on the dangers of speed prompts you to slow down (behavior modification) In hypnotherapy, the therapist uses a specific technique designed to get you to a state of deep relaxation, hypnotic state. Floating between waking and sleeping, isolated from the outside world, you are more receptive to suggestions that come to you and that triggers in you, for example, dislike of smoking, moderation of a migraine or control your bowel function.
indications : Hypnosis has the power to calm anxiety and its physical effects: muscle spasms, cold hands or sweaty, palpitations, lump in throat, intestinal spasms. It alleviates the pain messages and therefore proves useful in cases of torticollis, back pain, back pain, trigeminal neuralgia or sciatica.
In the medical field, it is effective on a number of diseases with a strong psychic dependence on tobacco or drugs, alcoholism, bulimia and obesity, migraine, depression, phobias, insomnia, impaired sexuality.
In the context of psychotherapy or psychoanalysis, it is used more specifically as a gateway to the unconscious, and allows the patient to find the root causes of their disorders to reach beyond them .
The effectiveness of hypnosis varies among patients, some because of their personality (or the therapist) show themselves refractories. It also varies depending on the condition being treated. Good results are generally obtained on smoking, digestive disorders, headaches, bedwetting, asthma, skin problems or insomnia, but less well on alcoholism or drug addiction.
the first meeting In some variations, a hypnosis session always runs the same way. During a preliminary interview, the therapist is with you an update on the reasons that lead you to see: it checks that hypnosis is a good indication and determines the number sessions: to stop smoking, a single session may suffice, possibly with a follow-up session. To overcome bulimia, consider five to ten sessions.
The meeting proper begins with suggestions of relaxation. You are invited to lie on a couch, to be attentive to your body, feel it rise, numb, unravel. Mental images are available to induce a state of well-being: "you are lying on a couch at the seaside" Followed by therapeutic suggestions tailored to your problem. The key is that suggestions found in you a positive response. When you exit the hypnotic state, the therapist will talk to you the effects of the session (which lasted between twenty and thirty minutes).
In many cases, the hypnotherapist will teach you the art of self-hypnosis to make you independent and extend in time the benefits of the sessions.
Hypnosis is practiced by physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists and surgeons - dentists, grouped mostly in combination.
