Homeopathy is a natural system of medicine that has been in existence for more than 200 years and is practiced widely throughout the world today. It stems from the work of Dr Samuel Hahnemann, a 19th century physician who developed this effective yet gentler way of healing.
Homeopathy uses remedies made from natural substances to stimulate the body’s own innate ability to heal itself. It aims to treat the underlying causes of illness, not just the symptoms alone. When the core problems are removed, the body is freed up to release the symptoms, so restoring health and harmony.
Homeopathy works on the principle that like cures like. That is, “a substance that can produce symptoms in a healthy person can cure those symptoms in a sick person”. For example, in a large dose coffee can cause sleeplessness, however Coffea, a homeopathic remedy made from coffee, can help overcome sleeplessness.
Who can benefit from Homeopathy?
Children, teenagers and adults. It can be used safely for vulnerable groups,
babies, elderly people, during and after pregnancy and for people with
compromised immune systems.
What does it involve?
A homeopath takes an individualistic approach to each person. In addition to looking at your presenting complaint in detail, we look at aspects of your health such as energy levels, sleep patterns, mood changes, anxieties and the way you react to stress. From this information we give a remedy that matches your symptoms on all levels – physically, mentally and emotionally. The first consultation lasts approximately 90 minutes and follow up consultations take place 4-6 weeks later and last 30-50 minutes.
What Can Homeopathy Treat?
By treating the individual and not the disease, homeopathy can treat a wide variety of ailments and symptoms ranging from acute to long term illnesses. It can also treat conditions that do not necessarily fall into a particular “disease category”, such as chronic fatigue, feeling apathetic or simply feeling out of touch.
Homeopathy can be safely taken in conjunction with conventional medicine.
