What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathic Remedies

Homeopathic remedies are made from animal vegetables and the mineral kingdoms. They are greatly diluted substances which would produce severe symptoms in a patient if taken in their natural state. By a process of dilution and succession (shaking) the energy of these medicines is released and acts curatively where symptoms correspond to those of the patient.

The principle dating back to the Ancient Greeks is that of" like curing like". For more homeopathic information see Wikipedia. For example a good remedy for hay fever is allium sepa which is made from onion. When we cut an onion our eyes and nose stream which is similar to the symptoms of hay fever.

Children's homeopathy

I strongly recommend that all families keep a Homeopathic remedy kit at home and learn how to use it by following the instructions in the simple booklet inside the kit, and talking to a Homeopath for further advice when necessary. There are severa home remedy kits available. Please email me as I can offer discounts.

Stress Management

Homeopathy helps with the underlying stress in your body, and can help you to do something about it. This is the result of feeling better generally, giving yourself more time to think and most of all, the motivation to take positive action. We all know about gut feelings, but often dismiss or ignore them. Homeopathic treatment puts you in touch with your unconscious thoughts and helps to give you insight into what needs to be done and, more importantly, the courage to do it!

Background

Homeopathy was created by German medical practitioner Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann - a doctor disillusioned with orthodox medicine. His philosophy was simple - cure like with like, use medicines from animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms and treat the inner disease, which would in turn heal the outward manifestations. Thanks to Hahnemann, homeopathy is now practised world wide. There are many homeopathic colleges and the interchange of homeopathic knowledge between countries grows constantly.
