What is homeopathy?

 

Homeopathy is a form of medicine based on the natural law that LIKE cures like.  It treats the person as a whole and enhances the body's own ability to heal itself, raising the level of vitality and thus restoring the balance of health.

 

Homeopathic remedies can be used successfully to treat a very wide range of illlnesses - mental, emotional and physical.  This is because Homeopathy treats the person as a whole and unique individual rather than looking at the "disease" as separate from the person.

 

 

The Treatment Programme

 

The initial consultation lasts around 1.5 hours and follow-ups 40 minutes.  This is to allow plenty of time to discuss all your health concerns.  The length of the treatment will depend on the severity of the illness and the individual's response to treatment, but generally about 2 to 6 consultations are required.

 

 

How the remedies work

 

The way that homeopathic remedies work is quite different from conventional treatment.  For instance, the remedy may be given in a single dose, or a series of doses, but is seldom used continuously.  This is because the remedy acts as a catalyst, activating the person's own immune system and energy to GET THEMSELVES BETTER.

 

 

Safety issues

 

The remedies are safe, easy to take and palatable.  This makes them especially useful in treating babies, children and also during pregnancy or breastfeeding, when strong drugs are potentially harmful.  Homeopathic remedies cannot cause side-effects and you cannot become addicted to them.
