Medipol Mega University Hospital specialist explains homeopathy

Dr. Yegane Koulıeva Özcan, a specialist at Medipol Mega University Hospital, has provided insights into the practice of homeopathy as a form of Traditional and Complementary Medicine (GETAT). According to Dr. Özcan, the primary goal of homeopathy is not merely to eliminate physical symptoms but to understand the underlying factors causing a person's complaints by addressing physical, mental, and emotional states holistically.

Dr. Özcan clarified the distinction between homeopathy and phytotherapy, noting that while phytotherapy utilizes plants directly, homeopathy uses products obtained through different preparation methods, resulting in different mechanisms of action.

Homeopathy may be used as a complementary approach for various conditions, including allergic diseases, skin disorders, migraines, fibromyalgia, and certain chronic health issues. Dr. Özcan emphasized that these applications should be planned under medical supervision and can be used not only to treat illness but also to support preventive health and improve quality of life.
