<p>There are two Different Types of Treatment approaches: Classical Homeopathy and Mixed Homeopathy. The traditional or classical approach to homeopathy describes the use of a single medicine, given in a microdose, based on a person’s physical and psychological symptoms. However, from the early beginnings of homeopathy, some homeopaths have also used more than a single remedy at the same time. The best known less traditional use of homeopathic medicine is in form of “combination medicines”. These are complexes made up of a mixture of 3 to 8 homeopathic medicines added together, each chosen because it is a commonly used medicine for a specific condition. These complexes are often sold in health food stores and are named for the specific disease or symptom they are supposed to target.</p>
<p>Since combination remedies are widely available, a large number of people have their first introduction to homeopathy by using such remedies. Experiences with this type of remedy are often quite positive. However, it is believed effective treatment of recurrent symptoms generally require the use of a single, individually prescribed homeopathic remedy.</p>
<p>Another unconventional use of homeopathic medicines is the use of two or more individual medicines at the same time. Usually each remedy is taken at different times of the day. This approach is called “Pluralism” and is commonly use by practitioners in Europe. A homeopath prescribes one remedy for one group of symptoms, a second for another group, etc. and so on. European homeopaths claim good success with this method, yet no formal research has compared it with classical homeopathy.</p>
