Homeopathy

How does it work?

Homeopathy is a complete system of medicine that embraces a natural, holistic approach to healing. It recognises that all symptoms of ill health are expressions of dis-harmony or dis-ease within the person, therefore, it follows that it is the person who needs treatment not the disease or illness itself.

Homeopathic remedies work by stimulating the body's own healing power. This stimulus will assist your own system to clear itself of any symptoms of imbalance. The aim is to get you to a level of health so that eventually you will need less frequent treatment.

Homeopathy is applicable for so many conditions because Homeopathic case taking and prescribing does not centre on just a diagnosis or name of disease, but on the patients uniquely expressed totality of feelings, sensations and symptoms.

What can it treat?

Homeopathy treats the person rather than the named disease, so potentially it can help patients with a wide range of conditions, both acute and chronic, mental, emotional and physical. Illnesses commonly seen by Homeopaths in their clinics include recurrent infections; such as colds, tonsillitis, cystitis, skin complaints, hormonal, menstrual and menopausal complaints, Chronic Fatigue, migraines and headaches, and stress related symptoms such as anxiety and insomnia, as well as stomach disorders; such as IBS, ear infections and childhood complaints. The list is limitless.
