How can Homeopathy help

The basic premise of homeopathy is that the symptom, unless the result of an accident/ intervention, is a representation of the disease and not the disease itself. Homeopathy does not treat diseases. Symptoms are manifested by the whole body. If the body is playing symptoms of disease or illness, it is the body as a whole that is not well. These symptoms are there to help the homeopath formulate a map of the disease state.

When to visit a homeopath

Connecting mind and body

An often overlooked connection between mind and body is the way in which even mild mental ill-health can have an adverse affect on our physical selves. American researches found that mild depression can quicken the deaths of patients with heart problems: the incidence of abnormal heartbeat was three times higher in depressed patients.

What is homeopathy

Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine, based on an understanding of the interconnection between mind and body. By taking a full case history, homeopaths aim to treat the whole person, not just their disease. Instead of attacking symptoms with strong drugs, homeopathy uses gentle medicine which aims to stimulate and strengthen the immune system, thereby helping the body's natural tendency to heal itself.

Homeopathic medicine is prescribed in very low dilution after a special matching process, which takes into account individual symptoms and characteristics.
