Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a powerful and effective treatment for all the family. It recognizes that all symptoms of ill health are expressions of disharmony within the whole person. Homeopaths consider symptoms of illness as responses or reactions to various causative factors such as grief, anger, anxiety, fright and stress to name a few.

The main principle is “like cures like” by matching the symptoms of the patient with those of the remedies, balance is restored. Remedies are mainly derived from the animal, plant and mineral kingdoms. These raw substances are put through a process of dilution which enhances the curative properties and eradicates any side effects. This means that only a minute dose of the substance is needed to restore balance.

Take for example a patient presenting with insomnia. The homeopathic way would be to give the patient a specially prepared minute dose of a substance, such as coffee, which in large doses causes sleeplessness. Perhaps surprisingly this will enable the patient to sleep naturally. Homeopathic medicines meet you on an energetic level and restore balance. Healing comes from within, the energy of the remedies gently provides stimulus to the body’s own healing process.

Health is not just freedom from symptoms but also a sense of well being. Health is to have more energy, to wake refreshed, to be adaptable to changes in our environment and to feel calmer and able to cope with all that life sends us. Health is stamina, endurance and patience on all levels.

During a Homeopathic consultation a detailed case study is taken looking at your lifestyle, diet, sleep, likes, dislikes and how you feel on a mental and emotional level. It also addresses past traumas that have perhaps been the building blocks to ill health.
