"The highest ideal of cure is rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of the health, or removal or annihilation of the disease in its whole extent, in the shortest, most reliable, and most harmless way." [Samuel Hahnemann]

Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine which stimulates the body's own natural healing powers to bring health, vitality and well-being.

Homeopathy looks beyond the labels of disease to cure their causes rather than merely their symptoms.

Whether you suffer from a named disorder or just feel you are not as healthy or happy as you would like to be, homeopathy can help you return to a state of balance.

Homeopathy is beneficial for mental, emotional and physical complaints.

WHERE DID HOMEOPATHY COME FROM?

Homeopathy is a system of healing developed over 200 years ago by Samuel Hahnemann, a German medical doctor who was disillusioned with the harsh conventional treatments of his time. Today, homeopathy is practised throughout the world. It is used to treat people with a wide range of illnesses. The focus is on improving the overall well-being of the patient, rather than the isolated treatment of specific symptoms.

According to the basic rules of homeopathy, disease is caused by an imbalance of the body's motivating energy, or 'vital force'. Homeopathic remedies stimulate the body's own healing response to restore natural balance. A healthy balance can be disturbed by a number of factors. These include emotional states such as anxiety, stress, anger, fear or grief, poor nutrition, weather conditions, hereditary factors, infections, toxins and physical trauma. When the vital force is strong, the body is not susceptible to illness.

In homeopathic medicine, symptoms are the signposts that direct us to the causes of ill-health. Each person will be affected in his or her own way, regardless of what the disease is called. If a prescription is made to suit the patient as an individual being, and not simply on the diagnosis of an illness, than we can begin to look forward to the possibility of a lasting cure.

HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES

Homeopathic medicines are known as remedies. They are prepared by specialist pharmacies from natural substances. Remedies are free from side-effects and are neither addictive nor toxic. They are safe for everyone and may be used during pregnancy and breast feeding; by babies and the elderly.

THE HOMEOPATHIC CONSULTATION

An initial consultation typically may last up to two hours.

A detailed understanding of who you are, along with any complaints and details of how you experience them, is needed to assess your case correctly.

You should be asked about your physical and emotional symptoms, your medical history and other details such as food and weather preferences, and sleep patterns. You should have the opportunity to talk about anything that you feel is relevant to your condition.

Afterwards, all this information will be analysed to ascertain which remedy best matches you as an individual.
