The background…
Homeopathy is a gentle and effective form of healing. It is a holistic therapy that takes into consideration the individual as a whole, including all emotional and physical symptoms. Homeopathy addresses the underlying cause of an illness and works from within to strengthen the body’s immune system and restore health, which can lead to a permanent cure as well as increased levels of well-being. Homeopathy has been well established in England for over two hundred years. From the Greek “Homeo” meaning similar and “Pathos” meaning suffering, homeopathy works on the principle of ‘Like Curing Like’. This means that what would cause symptoms in a healthy individual can be used to cure those showing similar symptoms.
Homeopathic treatment involves obtaining a complete picture of the patient. The body in its entirety will be considered, including any causative factors of the illness, past medical and family history, and different aspects of the patient’s personality. Everybody is unique and will respond to disease or stress in different ways, both physically and emotionally. One person with a sore throat may experience pain on the left, another on the right. One child may be tearful with their teething, another angry. One person may express their grief, another withdraw on their own. For the homeopath to find the correct remedy, individually suited to the patient, many things must be taken into account. Initial consultations therefore can be up to 1 ½ hours. Follow up appointments, usually initially at two, then at four week intervals, are up to 45 mins where your case and progress will be assessed. Telephone and email support is provided between consultations for any advice and help you may require.
The treatment...
Homeopathy can be used to treat a wide range of conditions such as hayfever, menopause, digestive disorders, hormonal problems, thrush, ME, irritable bowel, migraines etc.
However, it does not just help with physical symptoms. It can be invaluable in treating emotional symptoms too and can be a much needed supportive therapy providing a counseling aspect with conditions such as anxiety, stress, shock, depression, grief, anger, irritability and post natal depression, in addition to the support that the remedies can provide.
Homeopathy is also a wonderful, effective and safe therapy for children and babies. It can be used to address conditions such as colic, glue ear, eczema, asthma, coughs & croup, sleep disorders, nightmares & night terrors, fears, behavioural problems, ADD/ADHD and autistic spectrum disorders.
Homeopathy is safe to use in pregnancy and birthing kits can also be individually made to assist with the birthing process.
