About Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a holistic field of medicine that uses micro doses of potentised substances found in nature and aims to stimulate the body’s natural capacity to heal itself.
It is a holistic approach in that it is complete; it seeks to treat physical, mental, emotional, even spiritual issues whether they are chronic or acute.
Homeopathic remedies are most commonly made from mineral, plant, chemical and sometimes animal substances and are tailored to each individual patient according to their specific needs.
Because the remedies are prepared using micro-dilution it means they are normally very safe for anybody to use including babies, children and pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.
Homeopathy is founded on the Law of Similars - the principal of 'like cures like' - which was rediscovered by a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann, around 1800. The principle is based on the observation that substances which cause symptoms can also be used to cure them, except in a much diluted form.
It is generally safe to have homeopathy alongside conventional treatment and I will encourage you to keep in contact with your GP where necessary, especially as it is important to have a diagnosis where possible.
Homeopathy is one of the largest and most popular systems of medicine in the world.

In 2004, the World Health Organization stated that homeopathy was the second most used medical system worldwide.
What happens in a Homeopathic Consultation?
As you may have already seen I offer a free 15 minute chat. This is an informal introduction that helps me to understand your needs and whether or not I feel I can help you and whether or not you feel I'm right for you!
Homeopathy is individualised medicine which means it is not a 'one pill fits all' approach. You are completely unique and I ask you questions to help me understand you and your symptoms better, which guides me to a prescription for you.
Depending on the nature of your complaint we will keep in touch on a weekly basis. Communication is crucial as it helps me to monitor your progress and, more importantly, helps you to feel more involved and empowered in your healing.
Ideally, once health is restored then you will no longer need to see a Homoeopath unless a new issue arises.
