Homework Assignment for Week 2

Intro. to Homeopathy

Please classify the following scenarios as chronic, acute, or first aid and offer a brief rationale for your answer. Acute prescribing is appropriate for short-term, self-limiting illnesses. The classic acute illnesses are contagious ones such as childhood diseases, colds, and flu in addition to injuries/trauma. In deciding to treat acutely, it is important to distinguish between acute and chronic: if an “acute” is recurrent (such as ear infections, migraines, nosebleeds, etc.), it is actually a chronic ailment and needs to be treated professionally. First Aid is necessary in the case of a trauma or medical emergency. Conventional medicine excels in the administration of life-saving medical interventions. However, homeopathy may be beneficial for first aid situations (while you are waiting for the ambulance to arrive or on your way to the E.R.)
