What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a gentle and effective method of healing people, which is achieved by stimulating the body's natural healing mechanisms. The symptoms of ill health are regarded as an imbalance in the person. Homeopathy therefore treats the person with a view to redressing that balance and in consequence restoring health.

When can Homeopathic treatment help?

Homeopathy can be used for a wide range of conditions, both acute and long term. The most common conditions treated by homeopathic practitioners are chest conditions including asthma, skin conditions, digestive disorders, arthritic complaints, migraine and hormonal conditions. In addition homeopathy may alleviate problems during pregnancy and assist in a smooth delivery. Babies, toddlers and children in general are very responsive to homeopathic treatment.

Homeopathic remedies

Homeopathic medicines are called remedies. These are made from plants, minerals and other natural substances. The remedies are very diluted and only a minute amount of the original substance is left in the remedy. The remedies are gentle, non-toxic, non-addictive and generally safe to take during pregnancy.
