About Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a highly sophisticated and scientific system of healing which helps the body in it's
attempt to heal itself. Homeopathy acknowledges
that symptoms of ill health are expressions of
disorder within the whole person and that it is the
patient who requires treatment and not just symptoms of the illness.
In the fifth century BC, Hippocrates, "the father of
medicine" wrote that there were two methods of
healing: by "contraries" and "similars". Contraries
involves the use of powerful drugs to overwhelm
symptoms and is the method used by modern
medicine. The Law of Similars states that like
cures like and this is the method used by homeopathy.
In homeopathy, a substance that can cause specific
symptoms in healthy people is used to stimulate the
body's immune system to defend itself against that
substance. Take, for example, a simple cold. The
symptoms of watering , burning eyes and nasal discharge are those that are produced when you chop
an onion. The homeopathic remedy , Allium Cepa (red
onion) is able to cure the same symptoms and, therefore,
is able to relieve the symptoms of a cold virus.
Samuel Hahnemann, a scientist and physician pioneered the development of homeopathic medicine in the late eighteenth century. Homeopathy has evolved since then with the help of dedicated homeopaths and is currently used by millions of people worldwide.
Homeopathic remedies are prepared from many different substances. Although most of the remedies are of herbal origin, many of the deepest acting ones are derived from minerals. Homeopathic medicines may be produced from healing substances, neutral substances or even
toxic substances. Through the homeopathic process of preparation, they all become safe, deep
acting medicines that assist the body to heal itself.
All healing comes from within and this is why homeopathy is able to effect such profound
natural healing and permanent cure.

ABOUT HOMEOPATHY
Most illness, whether acute or chronic is treatable
using homeopathy. Many people have found that homeopathy is a simple and cost effective way to maintain their health. There are no side-
effects from harsh medicines or negative effects
on the body from antibiotics. Homeopathy has been found to be a safe, gentle way to treat the whole family .............and it works!
Homeopathy is useful in acute conditions and this is where usually one symptom is treated with a homeopathic remedy. Longer appointments are required for constitutional treatment and the initial interview may last for two hours. You will be asked to provide a detailed health history. A homeopath considers the body, mind and emotional aspects of a person in order to find the most appropriate homeopathic remedy. Your uniqueness is honoured and you are a partner in the development of your healing plan.
Follow-up visits will vary and depend on the severity
of the condition, but in the beginning there should
be at least three follow-up visits and these are
usually scheduled a few weeks apart. These
visits enable the homeopath to assess the effectiveness of treatment. Consistancy is key
here, along with patience and perserverance in order to obtain the best possible outcomes. Be actively and intimately involved in your own healing.
