HOMEOPATHY SIMPLIFIED

As a complementary and holistic system of healthcare, homeopathy aims to stimulate the body’s own vitality and healing.

Homeopathy has been used for over 200 years, and by millions of people worldwide, for a range of chronic and acute conditions. 

Homeopathy is based on the fundamental principle of ‘like cures like’. For example, coffee which can cause sleeplessness and agitation, might be used for these conditions in its homeopathic form.

Homeopathic remedies originate mainly from plants or minerals through a process of serial dilution and potentisation, creating micro-doses.

Where used alongside conventional medical treatment, clients are always advised to inform their healthcare professional that they are undergoing homeopathic support.

Medical treatment must never be stopped unless discussed and agreed first by the client with their prescribing healthcare professional.

Homeopathy should not be used as a substitute for conventional medical treatment and medical intervention must be sought where appropriate.

Homeopaths do not diagnose, but instead look at the way health issues are being expressed in each person and the totality of symptoms.

Examples of the reasons for which people might consult with a homeopath could include:

• Skin complaints

• Digestive problems

• Joint issues

• Emotional challenges, stress and anxiety

• Women’s health

• Pain and injury
