Homeopathy

 

Homeopathy, aims to boost the body's natural healing resources. It is based on the following principles:

  • There are substances which cause symptoms of an illness when given in large doses to healthy people. For example, substances which cause headaches. However, the same substances, when given in extremely small doses to people with an illness can actually cure the illness. So, a substance which can cause headaches, can also cure them, when given in extremely small amounts, by stimulating the body's own healing process.
  • The homeopath treats an individual as a 'whole person', taking account of their personality, mood, diet, circumstances, background etc, as well as their symptoms. Therefore, treatments may well differ for the same symptoms in different individuals.
  • The more a substance or remedy is diluted, the more effective it is.

Homeopathy is widely recognised as a very safe and gentle treatment, as such tiny amounts of animal, vegetable and mineral substances are used. Remedies can be prescribed to people of all ages.
