About Homeopathy.

Homeopathy is a safe, gentle way of treating any ailment. It is a holistic therapy which works by strengthening the whole person, physically and emotionally, and enabling the whole system to return to health. The basis of homeopathy is that ‘like cures like’ and the homeopathic consultation is designed to identify the remedy that most closely matches the patient’s state. Each individual is treated with the remedy that is right for him– one man’s eczema will not need the same remedy as someone else’s because his ‘picture’ will be different. Eczema can be dry or discharging, itchy or just red and sore, sometimes sun can help but in other cases it aggravates. Some people are distressed by it, others just find it irritating. As each person reacts differently the remedy that will help him is different. A good homeopath takes time to find the remedy that suits and will then prescribe the correct potency to start the healing process and treat further as required to make progress towards cure. The aim of a homeopath is always to cure, not to keep people constantly on medication of any sort.

In cases where medication is already part of someone’s daily life, homeopathy can still help. Depending on the severity of the condition and the length of time that the medication has been taken, homeopathy can either enable the medication to be reduced, sometimes to a point where it is no longer necessary, or it can work alongside the medication and help improve the quality of life.

Homeopathy can help in most conditions, but if I feel that it is not right for anyone approaching me for treatment I will refer him to another therapy or conventional medicine – we can work together and the health and safety of patients is paramount.
