Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a well-established, safe and effective system of healing which assists the natural tendency of the body to heal itself. Homeopathy was developed over 200 years ago by a German Doctor, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, although the general principles have been known for over 2,000 years. The World Health Organization states that Homeopathy is the second most widely used form of medicine in the world and is used in more than 50 countries.
Homeopathy is a holistic form of medicine. Registered Homeopaths are trained to recognise that symptoms of ill health are expressions of disharmony within the whole person and that it is the whole person who needs treatment, not just the diagnosed disease. The treatment is very much patient-centered, and prescriptions are based on the totality of your symptoms and how you, as an individual, experience them. This also takes account of you as a person – your individual characteristics - physical, mental and emotional.
"Homeopathy cures a larger percentage of cases than any other method of treatment. Homeopathy is the latest and refined method of treating patients economically and non-violently."
Mahatma Gandhi
Specialist pharmacists prepare homeopathic medicines known as remedies, through a process of repeated dilution from a range of natural substances; making them more potent but also perfectly safe. Remedies are available in tablet or liquid form. Homeopathic remedies are non-habit forming and when properly prescribed are extremely safe with very few side effects; producing excellent results in all age groups, including pregnant women, babies and children. They can be used for all manner of acute and chronic complaints. People often use Homeopathy in conjunction with other therapies and also alongside their conventional medicine.
The initial consultation last approximately 60 to 90 minutes. Subsequent follow-ups take approximately 30 to 40 minutes and are usually spaced between 4 and 6 weeks apart initially, as your health and wellbeing improve these become far less frequent.
