Homeopathy is a completely natural system of medicine that is more than 200 years old. The guiding principle for choosing the remedy required is to treat “like with like”.  

Homeopathy is used worldwide and in many countries it is part of their nationwide healthcare systems.  The link below will take you to the Homeopathy Research Institute for an update on that information.

Choosing Homeopathy for your healthcare is a personal choice.  Often people turn to Homeopathy and other complimentary therapies through dissatisfaction with allopathic medicines or perhaps from not wanting to take medicines that are complex and often have side effects.  Whatever your route to trying Homeopathy there are a few things I think are worth noting.  

Your whole health picture is taken into account – your symptoms, your mood, your energy levels and outside influences on your wellbeing such as stress, work and levels of activity.  At all times the whole picture of how you are is the basis for your prescription.  There may be more urgent symptoms than other but they are all valid information however small they may seem to be.

Taking the remedy is different from taking allopathic medications – the golden rule is nothing to eat or drink 10 minutes before and after taking your remedy.  That’s it.  Nothing else to think about.  

The remedy has been chosen to stimulate your own immune system into action.  If you experience an aggravation of symptoms, which can be part of the healing process but not always, this is coming from within and is a reflection of the disturbance your body is experiencing.  As the healing process completes health and balance are restored and normal vitality follows.

Homeopathy offers a different way of restoring health.  A chemical free gentle way.  A way to look at your whole health at once with the symptoms you are experiencing as indicators of a disturbance in your overall wellbeing and vitality.  It is based in evidence gathered by practitioners and patients alike.  It’s simplicity, in this very complicated world we live in, may seem too good to be true but let’s not forget Arnica for bumps and bruises is used by millions of people as are teething granules for those painful months toddlers go through.  These two remedies are prepared and chosen for the job in exactly the same way as all remedies are.

Homeopathy looks at you as someone who needs to have their potential to be well and vital restored in the most gentle and complete way possible.  No chemicals, no side effects and no mystery.  All symptoms are important and add to the picture of the dis-ease being experienced.
