Homeopathy
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a complete system of medicine that was developed nearly 200 years ago by a German Doctor Samuel Hahnemann. It has been used by generations of people including the Royal Family. Homeopathy is a safe and effective form of medicine; it can be used safely alongside conventional treatments.
Homeopathy uses the principle "like cures like" - an example of this is chopping onions can cause watery eyes and a runny nose. The remedy Allium Cepa (made from the red onion) can benefit hay-fever sufferers with those same symptoms.
Homeopathy alleviates symptoms, and as it is an holistic medicine, the symptoms could be mental, emotional and/or physical, we look at all of these aspects during the consultation. As Homeopaths, rather than using disease labels, we instead gather information about your particular symptoms and how they affect you, whatever they are. Because of this we don't list all of the things that Homeopathy can help as that would suggest there are limits. Homeopathy also improves the general health of the client.
Homeopathic Remedies
Medication is in the form of small sugar pills coated with the liquid remedy. They work by stimulating the body's own natural healing power. The liquid remedies are made mainly from plants and minerals and occasionally substances from the animal kingdom (although no cruelty is involved). Homeopathic remedies act in a gentle and subtle way and are non-toxic which means they can be used effectively to treat people of any age.
What to Expect ...
The initial consultation can take up to two hours. This allows plenty of time for a detailed history to be taken. Follow up appointments are usually made four to six weeks later and usually last for about an hour. During the consultation an understanding is established about how your complaint affects you. Other things like medical history and energy levels are also important. Any information provided is held in strict confidence.
Treatment for chronic illnesses may take some months, but most people experience benefits after the first consultation.
