Homeopathy helps to stimulate the body’s natural system of healing
WHAT IS HOMEOPATHY?
Homeopathy is an effective and safe scientific system of healing which assists the natural tendency of the body to heal itself. It recognises that all symptoms of ill health are expressions of disharmony within the whole person, and that it is the patient who needs the treatment and not the disease.
The word ‘homeopathy’ means similar suffering. It is based on the natural Law of Similars, and works on the principle that disease can be cured by a remedy which when given to healthy people, produces symptoms similar to the disease.
Homeopathy is recognised by the World Health Organisation as the second largest therapeutic system in the world, and we are currently experiencing a great upsurge of interest in this country. It is safe for people of all ages, from birth through to old age, and can be prescribed by a homeopath during pregnancy.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A HOMEOPATHIC CONSULTATION?
The first appointment takes between one and two hours. To make an accurate prescription for you will need a thorough understanding of who you are, as well as what your symptoms are. Information such as how your body systems are functioning, what food you like, dislike, or are sensitive to; how you feel about your relationships, your work, and if you are affected by weather and other environmental factors, are important. Your personal medical history and that of your family will also be of interest.
Homeopathy takes into account the whole person, not only the symptoms. This means, for example, that five people consulting the same homeopath for treatment for migraine are likely to receive five different remedies.
Everything you say will be treated in the strictest confidence.
HOW ARE REMEDIES MADE?
Homeopathic remedies are derived from plant, mineral and animal sources. It is the method of preparation which makes all homeopathic remedies safe, whatever their origin. They are non-toxic, do not cause side-effects, and you do not become addicted to them because the active ingredient is used in a specially prepared form leaving no trace to accumulate in the body’s tissues. Remedies are usually given by mouth in the form of tablets or liquid.
HOW MANY CONSULTATIONS & HOW OFTEN?
For most conditions, consultations normally take place at four to six week intervals and last about 45 minutes. With acute illnesses only one or two appointments may be needed. However, treatment for long-standing health problems may require several appointments over a period of time.
WHAT CONDITIONS CAN HOMEOPATHY TREAT?
People experiencing almost any health problem may be helped through homeopathy. It can also treat people who just ‘don’t feel right’ (although tests show nothing wrong) by stimulating their own healing energy. In this respect, homeopathy is an important form of preventative medicine, which may help to correct early imbalances so that more serious conditions are avoided.
Complaints which homeopaths commonly deal with are listed below. Many other diseases and syndromes can also be treated, including those without a name or a known cause.
