About Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a safe, effective, scientific system of medicine which assists the natural tendency of the body to heal itself. It recognises that all symptoms of ill health are expressions of disharmony within the whole person and that it is the patient who needs treatment and not just the disease, and therefore can be helpful in all cases of ill health no matter what the diagnosis. The remedy acts as a powerful catalyst which stimulates the body to regain balance and heal itself.

People are becoming increasingly disillusioned with drug treatment and questioning the quality of their health care. They are searching for more natural ways to improve their health and are choosing homeopathy as a safe alternative. In homeopathy they find a system of medicine that looks at each person as a unique individual and a system that shows respect for the body and its ability to keep a person in optimum health. Homeopathy takes into account the rare and peculiar symptoms that defy medical explanation but which are very real to the sufferer.

Homeopathy is a scientific system of healing discovered in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann, a physician who was disillusioned with the techniques employed by the doctors of his time. It employs the principle of 'Like Cures Like', also known as the Law of Similars. (The word homeopathy is derived from the Greek words meaning 'similar suffering'.) Homeopathy treats illness with a substance which, when taken by a healthy person, produces symptoms similar to those experienced by the person who is ill.

Consultation

First Appointment

In common with most homeopaths, your first visit to me is a fairly lengthy 'information gathering' conversation of up to 2 hours. In preparation for this I usually ask patients to complete a basic health questionnaire which we can then go into when we meet. This allows more time in the consultation to talk about you.

This all goes towards establishing a complete picture of you as an individual, helping me to understand the nature of your complaint and how it manifests or is experienced by you. Even small or unusual things can be of great significance, as it will help identify the correct remedy for you. My job as a homeopath is then to analyse this information in order to select an appropriate remedy.

After taking a remedy you may notice some changes. Patients can often feel a sense of well being soon after taking the remedy but this will be determined by how long standing your condition is and your vitality. Some patients make steady progress, for others it will be quite dramatic. As your body begins to heal itself it may throw up other symptoms which is a way of cleansing and de-toxing.

Homeopathic treatment can be a turning point which will lead to a restoration of vitality, health and well being within you.

Follow Up Appointments

These will normally take up to 1 hour and I recommend that these take place at approximately 4 to 6 week intervals initially. This may vary according to the severity and length of your health problems, and other factors such as the level of stress in your life.

A chronic condition that has been lingering for some years may take longer to improve, though there are usually signs of a positive shift in health quite soon. Acute complaints can improve rapidly.
