what is homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a complete system of medicine with its own philosophy of health and disease, and special, ultra-diluted medicines.  It is a natural and holistic healing tool, well known for its ability to improve chronic conditions safely, without harmful side effects.

Homeopathy is a form of holistic medicine used by over 200 million people worldwide to treat both acute and chronic conditions. It is based on the principle of ‘like cures like’ – in other words, a substance taken in small amounts will cure the same symptoms it causes if it was taken in large amounts.

 

Homeopathic medicines are manufactured using a process combining serial dilution and succussion (vigorous shaking). Homeopathic medicines are perfectly safe to use for babies, children and pregnant or breastfeeding women.

 

Homeopathy has the ability to treat most modern-day acute and chronic complaints. 

  

Acute complaints include colds, coughs, earaches, sore throats, injuries and fevers. Chronic complaints require a more detailed case analysis of the patient's mental, emotional and physical symptoms. Common chronic complaints that homeopaths frequently and successfully treat include arthritis, asthma, skin conditions, digestive problems, emotional problems, depression, migraine and menstrual imbalances. 

  

Though the range of diseases treated is very wide, the experience of being treated leaves the patient feeling better in themselves and able to make beneficial changes in their lives as a result of improved health.
