Homeopathy does not just remove the signs and symptoms of ill health but also helps you deal with the underlying cause of it. 

Health care has undergone many changes in recent years with dramatic improvements in surgical techniques, however chronic illness such as allergies, heart disease, ME, cancer, hormone imbalances, emotional and mental ill health are still alarmingly common. 

Homeopathy aims to restore an individuals health to a level where they are no longer dependant on medicines or therapy providing it is safe to do so.

Patients often find that their state of health and sense of well-being are dramatically improved.

Holistic Health
Homeopathy is a holistic form of health care taking a wider view of health than conventional medicine. 

It looks at the whole person taking into account physical, mental, emotional and spiritual symptoms. The homeopath then treats the individual not just the signs of illness that they are showing.

Central to this is the idea that the particular reaction of an individual to stress or ill health must always be taken into account. Homeopaths often view health as a balance between these and stress in one area can cause illness in another. 

Symptoms of illness are seen as the bodies automatic efforts to heal itself and as such the homeopath can use them to select a remedy which will help your body to heal itself.  The remedies do this as quickly and gently as possible without the side effects and toxicity often associated with conventional medications.

Law of Similars
The principle of like curing like dates back to the Greek physician Hippocrates in the 5th century BC. 

Orthodox medical practice uses drugs or surgery to remove symptoms often without treating the underlying cause of ill health.  This can suppress the bodies’ natural reaction to stress, which may lead to more chronic illness.

Whilst homeopathy can also remove signs of ill heath it does so by addressing the root cause of the disease. If an individual is suffering from food poisoning the natural response of the body is to remove the offending micro-organisms. In chronic disease such as repeated migraine, arthritis or depression the bodies’ vitality is often too depleted to fully regain health without assistance.

Remedies are individually chosen that most closely match the symptoms seen as a result of ill health these will stimulate the bodies’ self-healing powers and start the process of cure. 

Homeopathy speeds this process up as oppose to suppressing the natural response.

Minimum Dose 
Homeopathy uses the smallest amount of remedy possible to effect a cure. 

It is the energy of the individual that is influenced rather than the chemical balance. This is the reason that no side effects are experienced when using homeopathic medicines.

The remedies do however stimulate the individuals own healing processes in a powerful way and need to be treated with respect.

Remedies are derived from a variety of sources plants, animals or minerals many of which have been used medicinally for generations. The substance is serially diluted and succussed (vigorously shaken). The more dilute the remedy the more powerful its effect.
