HOMEOPATHY

What Is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a form of complementary medicine that uses natural products in a highly diluted form. It works via the principle of “like cures like”. The basis of homeopathy is that the most successful remedy would be one whose characteristics present the closest resemblance to your symptoms. For example, the effects of chopping an onion are similar to the symptoms that you may experience while suffering with the common cold or hayfever. The remedy prepared from Allium cepa (red onion) is used to assist those types of colds and hayfever in which the symptoms resemble those that we get from cutting onions i.e. watery eyes and nose, stinging and/or burning sensations etc. Or, as we all know, coffee can often be the cause of restlessness or sleeplessness. So, a homeopathic preparation of coffee may be used to assist restlessness and/or sleeplessness, provided of course, that coffee was not the cause of the restlessness to begin with.

What Can Homeopathy Treat?

Homeopathy is low risk, gentle, holistic and easy to administer. It may be used to heal your acute or chronic ailments. It may help in healing many chronic illnesses that are usually difficult to manage with other therapies. Homeopathy can also be used for first aid e.g. falls, fractures, cuts, sprains, strains, bruises, sports injuries, minor burns such as sunburn, insect bites etc. It is suitable for everybody, young and old (including babies and pregnant women). The medicines are low risk, almost tasteless, non-toxic, non-habit forming and can be used with other medications. Even young children rarely object to taking homeopathic medicine. It can be a novelty for them when administered straight from the dropper to their mouths and also due to the favourable taste. Homeopathy may help many medical problems.

How Can Homeopathy Help Me?

Homeopathy is one of only a few truly holistic systems of medicine. It aims to heal the whole person by addressing all of the symptoms experienced by the patient. Just as a single toxic substance can cause an array of symptoms, such as anxiety, nausea, diarrhoea, vertigo and headaches; likewise homeopathic medicines may help heal all of these symptoms simultaneously. It seeks to eradicate disease from its roots, thus possibly having deeper and longer acting benefits. With homeopathy, my aim is to stimulate and strengthen your vitality and immune system. The treatment will be tailored based on the specific symptoms that you are experiencing with consideration also given to your personal circumstances. I will use homeopathic remedies to correct imbalances in your health on an energetic level. This will result in improvements in all aspects of your well-being including your mental, emotional and physical well-being.

You may have an illness or disease that may have been labelled and a specific diagnosis made. However, you may have additional symptoms that were not considered by your physician(s) at all. These types of symptoms vary from person to person and are, therefore, unique to you alone. The orthodox physician usually dismisses these vital symptoms as unimportant in the case, but to me as a homeopath, these are the vital clues to establishing the most dependable medicine to be used in your case. Even in well-defined diseases, e.g. arthritis and asthma, each case needs to be considered individually, as no two cases are ever identical.

What Is The Prevalence Of Homeopathy In The World?

Homeopathy is one of the most widely used medicines in the world today. Worldwide, over 200 million people use homeopathy on a regular basis (Source: Homeopathy Research Institute webpage). It is flourishing in Europe, United Kingdom, South America and India and steady in Australia.
