About Homeopathy
From birth to the golden years, homeopathy can help with everything from teething and colic, temper tantrums and teenage troubles, menstrual pain, childbirth and menopause, occupational and familial stresses, short term diseases from chickenpox to coughs colds and flu, to allergies and more chronic illnesses such as asthma, eczema, and migraines as well as any number of conditions associated with advancing years.
Increased life expectancy does not necessarily mean enhanced life quality. If you have health concerns but are seeking to avoid the potential side effects of traditional medicines, perhaps homeopathy might be for you.
Its individualised approach means remedies are selected according to your particular symptoms, rather than a one size fits all approach. Through consultation you can gain a sense of how life’s experiences have contributed to your current status, and gradually find a pathway to improved health.
I work from home; offering both face to face and online consultations. If you would like to know more, please leave me your details so that I can offer a free, no obligation call to see how homeopathy can help.
Origins & Principles of Homeopathy
Although the concept of like cures like can be traced back to Hippocrates (460-377BC), it was the German physician Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) who developed it into a system of treatment.
Dissatisfied with the medical practices of his time such as prescribing toxic substances like arsenic and lead, Hahnemann found ‘like cures like’ a central principle of homeopathy. Symptoms are matched with a substance known to provoke a similar disease e.g. coffee– a substance known to keep some people awake is used to make the remedy Coffea. A case of insomnia might find the remedy curative but only if the patient’s symptoms match those delineated by trials of the remedy.
Hence prescriptions are based on individual symptoms. The same disease can manifest in differing ways. Therefore homeopaths focus on defining a patient’s symptoms in order to find the remedy which most closely matches.
Hahnemann spent several years experimenting on himself and a group of volunteers testing a wide range of natural substances, such as plants, minerals, and metals. To avoid harmful side effects, he diluted each medicine to the greatest dilution that would still produce a response. Hence this became another principle of homeopathy: the minimum dose. Only a sufficient quantity of the original substance is given to prompt the body into healing. Hence, similar to the healing of broken bones, homeopathy aligns the body for self—healing.
There is a continuous line of practitioners from the past to the present who have widened knowledge and developed a practice with fresh insight and research.
