Unlike conventional medicines, there are few side effects of homeopathic medicines. The homeopathic doctor considers both the patient’s individual traits as well as the medical conditions before prescribing a particular medicine. More than 2000 remedies for various ailments are available today.
Most homeopathic medicines are cheaper than allopathic medicines. However, the doctor will specify some restrictions on diet and lifestyle, which the patient should adhere to , if the medicines are to be effective. Alcohol, white sugar, coffee, menthol, camphor, eucalyptus, and black pepper should avoided as they can have adverse effects.

Homeopathic medicines are made from minerals, botanical extracts, and several other sources.  They are then dissolved in water, alcohol or milk water solution and diluted till the desired concentration is reached.  However, some skeptics say that by diluting the medicine, its effectiveness will be reduced. For medical emergencies however, conventional medicines act quickly and are effective.

The soft tissue of  the body consists of  muscles, tendons, ligaments and the fascia. The  fascia is the membrane that holds the body together, which gives support to other tissues and allows freedom of  muscular movement. The fascia may get damaged over a period of  time due to stress from poor posture, accidents, surgery, strain or injury. The fascia and muscles are pulled out of  position, preventing smooth movements and causing discomfort.

Rolfing involves touching the skin to find out the misaligned fascia and putting it back into position, so that the muscles can move freely. By using lifting/spreading movements and applying pressure to the fascia web , the fascial web is separated out. These are gentle movements, similar to massage.

The patient has to undergo a minimum of  ten rolfing sessions, before the cumulative effect becomes apparent. Each session is usually one hour long and a specific part of  the body is treated. An additional five sessions may be required for certain patients.

Earlier, many patients reported that rolfing was a painful experience. However, it  has evolved over a period of  time and with practice , the discomfort has reduced. Many people who have been rolfed experience improved physical health.

Since buccal or oral transmucosal drug delivery is a new technology, it is not widely used yet. It has been developed primarily for the aging population of  western countries and it is believed that by using this drug delivery method, healthcare costs will reduce.

The medication for oral transmucosal delivery is kept in a sealed pouch. The pouch should be opened just before the medication is to be used. The medicine should be kept in the mouth between the cheek and the lower gum. It should be sucked for the duration specified by the medicine manufacturer.

For buccal delivery, the medication is in the form of  a tablet. Immediately after removing the tablet  from the blister pack, the medicine is placed between the upper cheek and the gums above a molar at the back of  the mouth. For many medicines, the tablet or capsule will consist of an outer rapid release layer and an inner control release layer

The tablet will usually dissolve after a period specified by the manufacturer.  If it does not dissolve, it can be swallowed with a glass of water. Other medicines for buccal delivery, are in the form of  a liquid formulation which can delivered in the mouth using an aerosol spray.
