HOMEOPATHY

Homeopathy  is a holistic system of healing, suitable for everyone, young and old.  Homeopathy has been used in the UK for over 200 years.  In 1796 a brilliant doctor, Samuel Hahnemann, developed the scientific and philosophical foundations of this gentler way of healing.

Homeopathic medicines are made from natural sources, mostly plants, minerals and metals which undergo a process of ‘potentisation’.  This creates tiny doses which have a vital therapeutic action, stimulating the body’s own healing power.  Homeopathy is a safe medicine: there is no danger of addiction, toxicity or side-effects.  It is therefore popular with everyone including pregnant women, children and babies.

Homeopathy treats the underlying causes of ill-health rather than the symptoms alone.  Homeopathy also prevents illness.  It is a subtle yet powerful therapy that can correct small imbalances long before the appearance of more serious symptoms.

Homeopathy promotes health in its fullest sense.  People who have had homeopathic treatment report that they are generally better able to resist infection, feel well, have vitality and a positive outlook in life.

The Homeopathic Consultation

Homeopaths understand that establishing good health involves treating both mind and body, therefore time is taken to listen to your emotional and physical symptoms.  The homeopathic consultation also involves observation for example noting the appearance of a skin complaint, but not physical examination.

The first consultation lasts 1 hour 30 minutes.  This involves you being asked questions about your current ill-health, your previous medical history and aspects of your physical and emotional make-up, for example, mood, sleep, energy levels, appetite.  As homeopaths we try to find out what is individual about you in order to find the right remedy to help make you well.

Follow-up consultations are every 3 – 6 weeks and last 45 minutes.
