Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a safe and effective system of healing which assists the body’s natural ability to heal itself. It was developed by a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann, who discovered that diluting a substance and shaking it resulted in a remedy which was more effective in the treatment of illness and had fewer side-effects. Homeopathic remedies are drawn from the natural world and are prescribed on the principle of ‘like cures like’. For example, a remedy for someone suffering from insomnia might be Coffea, a remedy made from coffee.

Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine and is suitable for everyone. It has a wide application from
- acute fevers
- sore throats
- toothache
to chronic illnesses such as
- asthma
- arthritis
- depression
- anxiety
- eczema
- psoriasis
- chronic fatigue syndrome
- allergies
- food intolerances

Homeopathy can be used safely alongside conventional medicine.

Homeopathic medicine focusses on the individual not the disease. A homeopath will want to know about your complaint, the symptoms you experience and how it affects your lifestyle, mood and energy levels, as well as your past medical history and any medication prescribed by your G.P.

An initial consultation will last at least an hour and your treatment will usually be in the form of a tablet, or occasionally a liquid, and full instructions will be given. Follow up appointments are arranged at 4-5 week intervals. Once treatment has started most patients notice a period of exceptional well being. Sometimes a cold, rash or discharge may appear and sometimes existing symptoms can appear to get worse for a short time. This is a good sign that the remedy is taking effect. The length of your treatment will depend on the type of illness you have. A chronic complaint will take longer to improve than an acute illness. Sometimes patience is called for – as the balance is slowly restored, symptoms will improve.
