Did you know that homeopathy has developed from its European origin two hundred years ago into the second largest system of medicine in the world? It is used by over 200 million people globally, people who have discovered the benefits of a system of medicine that is safe, effective and treats us as unique individuals. It is a complete system of medicine that treats mental, emotional and physical illness.

​

Homeopathy is truly 'holistic' because homeopaths believe the mind and body are intimately connected. For this reason, unlike conventional medicine, remedies are usually chosen to treat the 'whole person' rather than particular symptoms and conditions in isolation (although there are exceptions). This means that with physical disorders we also take into consideration all the mental and emotional factors and individual circumstances that might be contributing to the symptoms being experienced (especially in relation to chronic or serious illness).

​

Homeopathy uses specially prepared substances which are highly diluted but subtly active, with the aim of triggering the body’s own healing response. A homeopath selects remedies according to the principle ‘like cures like’, i.e. a substance known to produce a set of symptoms in healthy people can also cure similar symptoms in someone who is ill. This principle dates back to ancient Greece. It was used by Hippocrates (460-377BC) who is known as the father of modern medicine.

 

Both minor and serious illnesses can be treated.

HOMEOPATHY FOR ALL

​

Homeopathy can be used effectively by everyone, from babies and children to adults and the elderly, including women during pregnancy. Homeopathic medicines promote the body’s natural ability to heal. They are safe, non-toxic and non-addictive. They can be taken alongside drugs prescribed by your doctor and will not interfere with their beneficial action. As our condition improves, you may be able to safely reduce your conventional medication, thereby avoiding the unwanted effects that sometimes accompany the long-term use of drugs. NB: You should always consult your GP before making changes to your medication.
