According to homoeopathic doctors, health is a balance of body and soul. Health is maintained by life force; this is what controls the self-therapy of the body. Energy flows without restraint when being healthy; in case of an illness, it is reduced and different symptoms break out (e.g. fever, eczema, allergy, erethism, changes in behaviour). These are the signs when the body is overladen, experiences sorrow and the effects of unprocessed affective traumas. It responds similarly to detrimental external factors as well.

With homoeopathic medicines, it is possible to give energy stimulating impulses to the organism, by which it will be able to activate its power for self-help and restrore its balance. In case of an illness, cells operate on a specific wave-length, thus are not always effective enough to defeat the pathogens. The energetic wave-length that is typical for the illness is possible to be cured only by homoeopathic drugs that are on the same wave length as that of the illness. The ingredients of the homoeopathic medicine has to be the same as that of the specific illness of the patient. Thus, whatever the illness may be, the recovery depends on whether we find the medicine that causes mainly the same symptoms as the illness.
