What is homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a healing system that is based on the principle of ‘like cures like’.
Homeopathy introduces minute amounts of substances into the body that, in larger doses, would cause illness or disease.
The substances work by stimulating the body’s own defence mechanism and healing power.
The benefits of homeopathy
Homeopathy is a gentle treatment that reinforces the body’s own natural defences. Therefore, there are no harmful side effects.
Homeopathic treatment:
• increases overall energy and wellbeing
• alleviates arthritis, joint and back pain
• improves sinus and respiratory problems
• reduces stress, anxiety and exhaustion
• soothes allergies, eczema and asthma
• stabilises emotions
• eases menstrual problems
• relieves digestive disorders
What happens during homeopathic treatments?
Typical homeopathic treatments last approximately 1hr. Questions will be asked relating to current symptoms and medical history.
Information may be required about your diet, sleep patterns and lifestyle. A physical examination may also be necessary depending on the complaint.
Homeopathic medicines are totally natural and made from herbs, minerals and animal products. They are available from pharmacies and health shops.
