What is Homeopathy ?
Homeopathy was developed by Dr Samuel Hahnemann in 1796. It is a safe, non toxic and an effective way of healing, and it can be used along side conventional medicine. The Royal family have had their own personal homeopath since Queen Victoria.
Homeopathy uses minute traces of natural substances taken from plants and minerals. It stimulates the body’s natural healing process. Homeopathy sees the symptoms as our body’s expression of imbalance and seeks to treat the cause rather than the symptoms to prevent further disease.
Causes may be physical, (accidents, falls) , mental (fear, stress) or emotional (grief, loss, anxiety) and can be from years ago. The whole body can be affected and these causes all manifest themselves in ways unique to the individual.
What can be treated with Homeopathy?
Because homeopathy works with each unique person’s mechanism, it stimulates their own system to heal itself.
Homeopathy can work in many areas:-
- Difficulties conceiving, labour, birth and post natal problems. (mastitis, depression etc.)
- Babies and childhood illnesses, insomnia, colic, coughs, colds, tonsillitis, asthma etc.
- Teenagers’ problems starting at puberty, acne, menstrual pain and associated problems, anxiety, exam stress.
- Stress, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, allergies, hay fever, migraine headaches, eczema, psoriasis, warts.
- I.B.S., pre-post menopausal problems, (hot flushes, heavy bleeding) cystitis, arthritis, repetitive strain injury etc.
What to expect
The first consultation will last between one and a half and two hours. You will be asked a series of questions about your health and any issues you may be having. All this information helps the homeopath to slect an appropriate remedy to match your problem. Remedies are usually in the form of tiny pillules or drops. You may need only one dose, or a very small number of doses.
After a few weeks, you will be asked to return, to review your condition. If your health has changed, then you may be prescribed a similar or different remedy.
