What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a complete system of natural medicine that has been in use for over two hundred years. Over 200 million people worldwide use homeopathy; they appreciate the benefits of a system of medicine that is safe, gentle and effective and does not treat them with a "one size fits all" approach.

​

Homeopathy can be used alongside other treatments, if desired and will not interfere with the beneficial effects of conventional medicine.  People suffering from all kinds of illnesses/problems can regain health and improve well-being with homeopathy - including physical, mental, and emotional issues as well as spiritual disturbances.  In fact, homeopathy can be effective in treating things that doctors traditionally have less success with such as coughs, colds and 'flu'; menstrual problems, digestive problems; fear and anxiety, depression, skin problems, recurrent ear, throat and chest infections, allergies etc., etc. It can also be used for sports and exercise injuries as well as speeding up the healing of fractures, tears and sprains.

​

Homeopathy can be used safely and effectively by everyone - babies, children and adults, including women during pregnancy and labour.

Homeopathic medicines are prescribed based on the patient's unique, individual needs; they treat the whole person.  This is because Homeopaths believe that the mind and body are one and cannot be treated separately. This holistic approach takes a wider view of illness; the causes of disease and the unique way in which people express their illness or dis-ease through symptoms.

​

Homeopathic medicines help to stimulate the body's own natural healing mechanism and can help to free you from the things that hold you back, whether they be emotional or physical.
