Homeopathy

Since Dr. Samuel Hahnemann developed homeopathy over 200 years ago, more than 30 million people young & old from all walks of life, in countries all over the world benefit from its treatment.

Why is it so popular?
Treatment works with your body’s own healing power to strengthen the immune system and promote well being. Remedies are gentle, subtle & powerful.

How does it work?

Homeopathy is a system of treatment which stimulates the body’s own ability to heal itself. It looks upon symptoms of illness as signs of disharmony within the patient at all levels; mental, physical & emotional. In treating the person as a whole, (holistically), harmony within the patient is restored and so removing the symptoms of the illness, restoring the balance and equilibrium.
Dr. Samuel Hahnemann discovered ‘the Law of Similars’; which explains ‘That which makes sick shall heal’
For instance we know that when cutting a strong onion we may experience an acrid runny nose, a particular soreness in the throat & stinging watery eyes. So a homeopathic remedy made from Allium Cepa (onion) could be given to a patient who is suffering from Hayfever & manifesting these symptoms.
You cannot become addicted to homeopathic remedies, because only a very minute amount of the actual ingredient is used in a specially prepared form.

What are homeopathic remedies?

Homeopathic medicines are made from minute quantities of naturally occurring substances, from all kingdoms of nature. These are prepared using a process called ‘potentisation’ which increases the curative properties of the substance at the same time as removing the potential for unwanted side effects.
No remedies are tested on animals. However animals can benefit from homeopathic treatment.

What to expect at the 1st visit?

The homeopathic consultation is quite different from your conventional visit to the GP. As people react in different ways to the same illness your homeopath will need to know not only about your physical symptoms, but also about you as a person. You will be asked a series of questions designed to establish a homeopathic picture about you and your health. Also feel free to ask any questions to help clarify your treatment. Anything you say will be treated in the strictest confidence.

How do I take my remedy?
Remedies are usually given in tablet or liquid form. They should be taken directly onto a clean spoon & placed in the mouth, without water & dissolved under the tongue.
No food, toothpaste or cigarettes should be taken for 20 minutes before or after the remedy. They should be stored in a cool dark place, away from odours
Avoid handling the pills.
They can be used alongside medicines prescribed by your doctor. (Please bring any relevant , current medication details with you.)

How long will treatment take?

Should your illness be one that you have had for some time, it may take several appointments before the symptoms are completely clear. If your symptoms are quite recent then you may only have to visit a couple of times.
Homeopaths aim to help their patients achieve a state of health which requires fewer consultations at longer intervals.
Homeopathy does not treat symptoms by suppressing them but by treating the cause, and assisting the body to heal itself.
In the weeks following your remedy you may experience a range of different physical or emotional symptoms, a surge of energy or a spring cleaning reaction such as a cold , rash or discharge. All of these reactions are an indication that the self healing process has begun and should be allowed to take its course.
Please make notes of any of these changes, so that you can tell your homeopath at the next visit, or phone to discuss it in between appointments.
