What is Homeopathy?

 Find a Homeopath

Homeopathy is a safe form of medicine that was developed over 200 years ago. It is based on the 'Law of Similars', meaning it treats an illness or condition with a minute dose of a substance, that in a large dose would cause the same symptoms as the ones the person is being treated for. Homeopathy treats the person as a whole by considering the totality of their physical, mental and emotional symptoms. A Homeopath is concerned with maintaining good health as well as the recovery from ill-health.

The homeopathic remedy is a minute dose of a medicinal substance. The remedy stimulates the body's own immune and defense systems to initiate the healing process.

Homeopathy is used to treat most health issues a person would normally consult a GP for. A normal Homeopathic session involves the practitioner asking a wide variety of questions, some relating to your birth and younger years. From here the Homeopath will decide on which remedy and dosage best suits you as a person, not just the illness symptoms you may be showing.
