ABOUT HOMEOPATHY
"The highest ideal in Medicine is the safe, rapid and gentle elimination of symptoms and the restoration of health"
Dr Samuel Hahnemann, founder of Homeopathy
Homeopathy will treat the cause of your health problem, not just alleviate your symptoms, so you don't have to keep taking medicines indefinitely. It is an effective scientific system of treatment which assists the body natural's natural tendency to heal itself. It works by strengthening your immune system, thus making one less susceptible to illness and environmental influences.
In use for over 200 years, and with a considerable body of research to prove its effectiveness, Homeopathy recognises that symptoms of ill-health are expressions of imbalance within the whole person, therefore treatment is individually and specifically tailored to each individual.
Remedies made from natural substances (mainly from plants and minerals), work with the body's energy to restore the whole person to a state of health and well-being.
Homeopathy uses very small doses of natural medicines which have been carefully and specially prepared and are proven to be safe and effective in treating most health problems, physical, mental and emotional. Homeopathy is safe, gentle and effective. Most remedies are given in the form of tablets which have a pleasant taste. Sometimes liquids are prescribed too. Remedies are chewed and dissolved in the mouth. For babies and small children, soft tablets or powders are provided which dissolve instantly in the mouth. Homeopathy does not interfere with other treatments.
What Can Homeopathy do?
Treating everyone as an individual, homeopathy can help you with whatever health complaint you have, be it physical or
emotional. Homeopathy has no toxic side-effects therefore it is widely used for babies and children, as well as for
problems in pregnancy.
Homeopathy is also good to boost your immune system before the winter months or before pregnancy, and it can be used
alongside conventional therapies.
Homeopathic treatment
Your first appointment will last approximately one hour. You will be asked questions about your medical history and illnesses running in your family, as well as personal questions about your personality, food preferences, sleep, worries etc. This information is kept confidential and helps to build up a picture of the influences on your health. Further appointments will take approx. 30 - 40 minutes. Patients are seen every 3 - 6 weeks until the condition has resolved and health is restored. However, you are free to decide how long you wish to continue with treatment.
