What is Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a form of medicine that triggers the body’s natural system to heal the disturbances causing dis-ease.
Remedies are completely non-toxic and can be used alongside pharmaceuticals, on any age and are even safe for women during pregnancy.
Homeopathy has been used for over 200 years and in recent years is regaining in popularity. It is effective for both acute and chronic illnesses and uses highly diluted substances given as a tiny sucrose pill, or liquid drops. Homeopathic pills are disolved under the tongue and liquid remedies can be added to water.
Homeopathy works on the principle of 'like cures like', where substances that would cause symptoms in a healthy person are used to cure those same symptoms in illness. For example, a remedy made from coffee can be used to treat sleep issues - a symptom of drinking coffee!
What happens during an appointment
During your first appointment, I will take a detailed personal timeline and ask lots of questions about you, your feelings, sensations and likes and dislikes - this is all relevant to your case and is how I decide upon the most similar remedy to the individual picture of you. A first appointment can last up to about one and a half hours. Subsequent appointments can be quicker, but not necessarily - in a homeopathic appointment, you are given all the time you need - this is a time and a space just for you.
How quickly does homeopathy work?
It depends entirely on you and your disturbance. If you have been unwell for many years, if can take months or even years to fully heal. Sometimes healing is quick, sometimes it is slow, it is as individual as you are.
The aim of homeopathy is not to suppress symptoms, it is to help your body heal the disturbances within so you no longer suffer from the symptoms. Sometimes, in the process of healing, old symptoms can reoccur on the way out (though not always).
