Homeopathy

Homeopathy is 200 years old and was discovered by a German Orthodox Physician, Samuel Christian Hahnemann. It is an effective and statistically proven systems of healing which assists the natural tendency of the body to heal itself, it recognises that all symptoms of ill health are expressions of disharmony within the whole person and that it is the patient who needs treatment not the disease.

The challenge facing the Homeopath is to find the “medicine of the moment” for the person at the time Homeopathic remedies work by stimulating the body’s own healing power. This power is very great and many complaints heal themselves unaided, but when the healing process is faulty, blocked or slow the Homeopathic remedy acts as a stimulus to the curative powers of the body.

In order to find the right remedy, the Homeopath will interview the patient extensively about their medical history, family history and general state of mind in addition to delving into the symptoms of the illness that prompted their visit.

Homeopathic remedies are non-addictive and have no side effects. Sometimes there can be a temporary aggravation of the condition which, needs to be treated - this is normal and demonstrates that the treatment is working.
