Homeopathy

Homeopathy has been used for over 250 years. It has become known as a system of medicine which can act in a safe, gentle and effective manner to enhance the body’s own natural tendency to heal itself. Symptoms are seen as the body’s way of expressing dis-ease, or lack of balance and each person will do this in their own unique way.

In Homeopathy, we aim to offer an individualised treatment for each person’s unique situation and health history. Whether your health is compromised physically, emotionally or mentally, the Homeopathic principle is to treat you as an individual – rather than your “disease label”.

In Homeopathy less is definitely more – we use minute amounts of medicine based on the principle of “treat like with like”. This means that any substance which is capable of bringing about symptoms of illness in a healthy person can be used in minute amounts to heal or relieve the same symptoms in people who are unwell. For example, drinking too much coffee can cause headaches and sleeplessness. A Homeopathic remedy made from coffee (coffea) can trigger a rebalancing response in people who are suffering from the effects of stress and insomnia.

Homeopathic Remedies

Homeopathic remedies are made from all kingdoms in the natural world - plants, animals, minerals, metals and gases. Remedies are made by a process of diluting and energising (succussing) each original substance and so it is possible to harness their healing properties without any residual toxic side effects. This allows Homeopaths to use toxins such as arsenic in a highly diluted form to treat vomiting, anxiety or colds where the match is right for an individual person.

A Natural Medicine

A natural medicine, Homeopathy can be used by anyone of any age. It can be a valuable alternative to potentially harmful drugs – particularly during pregnancy, childhood and the later years of life. Homeopathy can be used in conjunction with the medical care offered by your medical practice.

Babies and Children

Babies and Children respond well to homeopathy and it can be used to help them deal with birth trauma, childhood ailments such as fevers, colic and teething as well as easing more chronic conditions such as asthma, eczema and sleep disorders. Homeopathy can be used safely and effectively at home and you can learn how to prescribe for your children on my Workshop programme.
