Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a dynamic system of medicine. The homeopathic remedy acts as an energetic stimulus to your own healing energy.
Homeopathy is based on the principle of like cures like. When you come for your appointment , we work together to describe a full picture of you and your symptoms. This picture is then matched as closely as possible to that of a single homeopathic remedy. This picture includes your symptoms, your family medical history, how you sleep, your worries and fears, your response to the weather, your food likes and dislikes, your energy pattern and so on.
Many of the remedies are made from plants, but minerals, metals and other natural sources are also used. They are specially prepared in homeopathic pharmacies using a dilution method that ensures they cannot produce side effects. Remedies can be given safely even during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and they are easy for suitable children to take.
Homeopathy is suitable for all ages and all kinds of complaints. People come for treatment for many different reasons eg
- long standing problems such as migraines, asthma, painful periods, eczema, IBS or ME
- as a means of support through difficult times such as grieg, work related stress, or the break-up of a relationship
- for short term acute problems such as sports injuries or morning sickness during pregnancy
- because they feel generally unwell, with low resistance to infections, or feel out of balance during the menopause
- simply as a way of maintaining good health
