About Homeopathy
The basic principles of homeopathy have been known since the time of Hippocrates, the founder of modern medicine. Two hundred years ago, a German doctor, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, further refined and developed these priciples into a system of medicine which he called homeopathy.
Homeopathy is a holistic system of healing that stimulates the natural tendency of the body to heal itself. Homeopaths believe that ill health starts when our natural inner balance is disrupted. This disruption causes us to produce symptoms - physical, mental or emotional - which are our body's way of telling us that something is wrong.
What can Homeopathy do for me?
Homoeopathy can be used by everyone - babies, children and adults, including during pregnancy. Homoeopathic remedies are safe, non-toxic and non-addictive. They can be used to treat anything from acute illnesses such as childhood diseases, fever, coughs, colds & injuries to the more chronic illnesses including Allergies, Asthma, Eczema, Diabetes, Thyroid disorders, Menstrual problems, Chronic fatigue, Candida, Cystitis and many more.
Homoeopathy can also be very effective in mental/emotional upsets including Depression, Anxiety, Phobias & Panic Attacks. It is particularly effective with children since their ability to adapt and heal themselves is often much more effective than that of adults.
At its most basic level Homoeopathy can just make you feel better, more energetic and able to cope with whatever life throws at you. With the right amount of treatment many seemingly 'incureable' long-term illnesses can be alleviated or eliminated.
What to expect during the consultation
Each person becomes ill in their own particular way - even if three people get a cold, each one gets slightly different symptoms and feels differently about having it. The same principle applies to all our health problems - we each have our own experience and pattern of illness - and it is this pattern that homeopathy aims to treat. In a consultation, the homeopath tries to understand the person and their experience and find a homeopathic remedy that matches them as fully and deeply as possible.
As you would expect, be prepared for an in depth case history taking. This is the foundation of the homeopathic treatment and takes up a considerable amount of time on your first visit.
Once the profile has been created a remedy will be prescribed along with the appropriate dosage and any other changes that will need to be made to make sure your treatment is successful.
