HOMOEOPATHY
Homoeopathy uses herbs and minerals to restore and maintain health in an effective and safe way.
​
Disease (Dis-ease) is the body’s way of trying to tell us that something is out of balance and that it is struggling to return itself to a state of ease.
​
Homoeopathy views your signs and symptoms as indicators of the individuality of you and how your body, physically mentally and emotionally are expressing your dis-ease.
​
As a homoeopath we look at you as an individual and all this creates a full detailed picture of you.
​
Using the Law of Similia’s and the Law of Minimum Dose, the homoeopath matches this detailed picture of you with a herb or mineral remedy that has a similar picture. The pictures of the remedies have been rigorously researched over 100’s of years.
​
Law of Similia = “Like cures like” The idea that a disease can be cured by a substance that produces similar symptoms in a healthy person
​
Law of Minimum Dose – The idea that “less is better”. That a small amount of substance will initiate the body’s own healing and encourages the body to re-set its immune system and bring your symptoms back into balance..
​
For Example: When we cut a raw onion it often makes our eyes water and sting, and our nose run. These are similar symptoms to some types of hay fever. Allium cepa (Red Onion) as a homoeopathic remedy has been used to relieve these symptoms of hay fever
Homeopathic remedies come in 2 different forms. Small white pilules or liquid. They are pleasant to take with no side effects and no addictive aspects. They do not interfere with other medications.
​
Consultations are confidential.
