About Homoeopathy

Homoeopathy is a system of natural medicine which is based on the principle that when a person experiences distressing symptoms, the whole person is unwell – out of balance, unable to achieve and maintain harmony with their environment.

Homoeopathy examines not just the current physical, mental and emotional, symptoms but also traces the development of the faulty ways of adapting which have given rise to the present situation. Our symptoms are the signposts of the underlying problem.

We all have strengths and weaknesses; good or not-so-good genetic inheritances and occupations and physical environments which may be less than ideal. We are all individuals and we are all different.

In homeopathy the aim of treatment is to match the individual with the ideal medicine to assist the establishment of a positive and dynamic equilibrium between the person and the world in which they live.

Homoeopathy was developed by a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann, in the late eighteenth century. Since then, homeopathy has spread to all parts of the world and is currently thriving on all continents.

All types of acute and chronic illnesses can be treated homoeopathically, except those which require surgery. As the medicines are made of minute doses of plant and mineral extracts, they are free of
toxic side-effects, and are safe for pregnant women, babies and nursing mothers.

From the acute respiratory tract infections of small children to menstrual and other hormonal disorders, to chronic conditions such as eczema, migraines, hay-fever and psoriasis, homoeopathy can help you manage your symptoms by stimulating the body’s own defensive and healing processes.

The Consultation

As every person is an individual, so every homeopathic consultation is different. Your past health history and that of your family; all the details of your main complaint and any associated problems are of first importance.

Then the whole person’s patterns of health and illness are assessed, system by system.

A written history by the client can shorten the process markedly, as so many details are required to gain the whole picture. When all the details are available, the homeopathic practitioner then matches the complete symptom-picture of the person with the symptoms which have been caused by or which have been removed by, a specific remedy.
