What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a holistic medicine which uses specially prepared, highly diluted substances (given mainly in tablet form) with the aim of triggering the body’s own healing mechanisms.

Homeopathy is based on the principle of “like treats like” – that is, a substance which can cause symptoms when taken in large doses, can be used in small amounts to treat similar symptoms.

Homeopathy has been used for over 200 years and can treat any disorder affecting any system and organ of the body at any age.

Homeopathy takes into account the mental, emotional and physical concerns of a person making this practice unique and individualized for everyone.

Homeopathy works by treating the essence of the person, and not just the symptoms which are being reflected by the person’s stuckness. If we treat only the symptoms, or the physical reflection of the blockage, then the essence of the person won’t really change. But if we treat the essence of the person, by focusing on the energy of the person, then the symptoms will shift and the energy of the person will also begin to be unblocked, and eventually to flow more smoothly.

How does it work?

When a person is unbalanced in their health the body will produce symptoms (mental/physical) as a sign that something is wrong. Homeopathy uses natural remedies to match these symptoms, generating the body to heal itself.

Each remedy, when given to a healthy person over an extended period of time will produce a specific set of symptoms. These symptoms are matched to the symptoms of the person who is suffering from an acute or chronic illness.

Homeopathy follows the principles of 'like cures like'. Symptoms produced in a healthy person will be the cure in the sick person with the same set of symptoms.

The homeopathic remedy stimulates our body's own natural healing abilities to cure the existing disease.

Think of remedies as an energetically charged, gentle reminder to the body that something is out of tune and needs to be fixed!
