What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a safe, gentle but effective evidence based form of medicine, which can be used alongside or in preference to conventional medical treatments, to target the underlying cause of symptoms and improve the overall health of the patient.
Homeopathic Remedies
Patients are prescribed remedies containing highly diluted substances, usually in the form of tiny pilules, which are pleasant and simple to take. These substances trigger the body’s natural healing response.
Is It For Me?
Homeopathy is a truly holistic form of medicine, supporting the patient on every level to enable a return to health and wellbeing. During a consultation, the Homeopath takes a complete history and symptom picture, including all physical and mental and emotional symptoms, prior to selecting the most suitable remedy.
Due to this individualised approach, and the classical homeopathic method of selecting a remedy based on each patients’ unique symptom picture, Homeopathy is often successful where other treatments have failed.
In 2000, the House of Lords Select Committee on Science & Technology, cited Homeopathy as one of the five Group One Therapies, having “an individual diagnostic approach” along with Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture”.
Homeopathy is naturally gentle and safe for all age groups including children and babies and is particularly useful during and after pregnancy, when treatment with conventional medicine may be limited. It is very effective in chronic conditions, and has the added advantage of being non-toxic and non-addictive. Homeopathic remedies can also safely be taken alongside conventional medication without any concerns over interaction.
Homeopathic Medicine is the first choice of medicine for 500 million people worldwide (W.H.O.figures). This is half the worlds population. 500 million people, cant be wrong!
