Homeopathy is a system of medicinal healing which promotes the body’s natural tendency of self-healing. When dealing with disease, the homeopathic approach aims to treat the discord within the individual and aims to treat the person, not the symptoms or disease.
Homeopathic medicines use plant, animal and mineral extracts which are prepared specifically by homeopathic pharmacies. When prescribing homeopathic medicines to an individual, their symptoms and health conditions will be taken into account as well as their personal characteristics and emotions.
In treating an individual, Homeopaths will ask about past medical history, a person’s lifestyle and the general concerns of the individual. This helps give the practitioner the right foundation for finding the right treatment for the individual. An initial consultation will usually last for one hour.
