Homeopathic nosodes, also known as homeopathic remedies, are made from secretions or excretions of diseased tissues. Homeopathic nosodes are used to immunize against various diseases. Homeopathic nosodes stimulate the body’s healing mechanisms and help boost the immune system.
Homeopathic preparations such as nosodes are usually diluted until there is little or no trace of the original substance. Homeopathic nosodes work by leaving a “memory”, or “energetic impression”, in the carrier substance or water. This can have healing properties.
How Homeopathic Nosodes Stimulate Immune Response
According to Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy and its principles, the mechanism by which nosodes stimulate the immune system is based on homeopathic principles. According to the homeopathic theory of healing, the process of dilution and amplification used to make nosodes enhances their healing abilities and stimulates the body’s own self-healing mechanism.
Homeopathy advocates believe that highly diluted nosodes have an “energetic memory” or “imprint” of the substance they were made from. This energetic imprint is thought to interact with the vital force of the body, which in homeopathy represents the body’s inherent healing power or life force. It is believed that by introducing the nosode to the body, the vital force will respond, causing a healing response.
Research on the effectiveness and mechanism of action of homeopathic nosodes and their ability to stimulate immune responses is limited. Systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and other meta-analyses of the evidence have been conducted. Some studies have examined the effects of homeopathic nosodes on the immune system.
Nosodes herpes
Herpes nosodes are prepared by a homeopathic process of dilution, potentiation, and re-dilution. The original substance (herpes-infected tissue or secretion), is diluted repeatedly and then vigorously shaken or succussed. This process, according to homeopathic principles, is thought to increase the healing properties. Homeopathic herpes nosodes stimulate the immune system or vital force of the body to respond to herpes viruses, potentially resulting in a reduction of symptoms or preventing further outbreaks.
Homeopathic nosodes are highly diluted and contain no molecules from the original substance; it still retains a “memory”, or energetic imprint, that can positively affect the body. Homeopathy uses dilutions that are so extreme they exceed Avogadro’s number. This means that there is little chance that any original molecules will remain in the end product.
Antiviral drugs are the mainstay of conventional medicine’s approach to treating herpes. These medications, like acyclovir or valacyclovir and famciclovir work by inhibiting herpes virus replication and reducing severity and duration but can produce numerous side effects.
Homeopathic nosodes that are derived from specific diseases can stimulate the immune system and protect against that disease. This concept is based upon the principle “like cures similar” or “law of similarities” in homeopathy. It suggests that a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people can be used as a treatment for diseased people.
