What is homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a complete system of treatment which can help you to fight off illness by stimulating the body’s own natural healing process. Treatment with homeopathy can alleviate distressing symptoms and treat conditions which would normally be treated with drugs e.g. antihistamines, antibiotics, bronchodilators and steroid creams.

What will treatment be like?

A homeopath will not need to make a physical examination but will need to obtain as much information about you and how your symptoms affect you physically and emotionally. Your personality and how you react to certain situations help the homeopath to understand you as a person and this is important when deciding on the right remedy for you.

What are the remedies?

Remedies are obtained from a number of sources, such as Pulsatilla (an anemone flower), Sepia (a sea creature) or Sulphur (a mineral).  The remedy is usually given in small tablet form and allowed to dissolve in the mouth.

What will happen when I take a remedy?

You may notice some changes:  for some there will be an immediate improvement in energy; there may be a rash; old symptoms may reappear for a short time. These symptoms are part of the healing process and should not be treated. It is worth discussing any changes with your homeopath.

How long will treatment take?

Generally if your illness is one that you have had for a long time then it will take more treatments before your symptoms are clear. If it is an acute or recent condition then it is likely that you will respond more quickly.
