What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a system of medicine which is based on treating the individual with highly diluted substances, which triggers the body’s natural system of healing. Based on an in-depth consultation to find out as many details of the person’s symptoms as possible, a homeopath will match the most appropriate medicine to the patient.

It works on the principle of “like cures like” - that is, a substance that would cause symptoms in a healthy person is used to cure those same symptoms in illness. For example, coffee is known to induce sleeplessness, and so a homeopath may prescribe the remedy coffea (made from coffee) to a person suffering from insomnia.

How safe is Homeopathy?

Homeopathic remedies are unique medicines, drawn from the plant, mineral and animal worlds. During a process known as potentisation, the original substance is diluted to such a degree that little or none of it remains in the final remedy, hence they become a form of energy medicine.

The remedies work by gently boosting the natural energy of the body, and are very safe, even for pregnant and sensitive patients, as well as young children and babies. Healing begins from within your body, strengthening your health and immune system, without any danger of damaging side effects. There is no danger of addiction or toxicity, and they can be safely used alongside most conventional medicines and other complementary therapies.
