Why choose homeopathy?
Homeopathy considers your present ill-health, as well as your health history. Using the principle of ‘like treats like’, a substance which creates symptoms in a healthy person is used for someone suffering from those symptoms. A patient with migraines would receive medicine for their individual symptoms rather than 'migraine medicine'.
Homeopathic remedies encourage your body to rebalance itself. You may only need a small dose for a short time. No need to avoid alcohol, worry about working, driving or operating machinery and the remedies are non-addictive.. Non-toxic, it is safe for babies, children and during pregnancy.
Homeopathic Pharmacies prepare homeopathic medicines, mainly from plants and minerals, using a process combining serial dilution with succussion (vigorous shaking). The number of times this is repeated, determines the potency of the remedy, which you take as a small tablet to melt under your tongue or as a spray directly into your mouth.
Scientific research on ultrahigh dilutions is beginning to reveal information on it's action.
A Complementary Therapy
For 200 years, Homeopathy has helped people regain health and happiness, making pain and misery their history rather than their present. Natural, gentle and effective, used by millions of people across the world as their primary healthcare. It works alone or in an integrated, informed approach alongside other forms of treatment, both conventional and complementary, promoting holistic care.
I strongly recommend that you maintain your relationship with your GP and medical professionals; and inform your GP that you are receiving homeopathic treatment. I am happy to discuss your progress with your healthcare team if you like. I may recommend other therapies e.g. counselling or nutrition.
Homeopathic remedies are very useful for simple first aid and for acute self-limiting illness such as a cold or a virus.
