What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a well established system of natural healthcare with over 200 years of clinical history. Our medicines are made from plants, minerals and some animal products, such as the sting of a bee. In homeopathy, we match the symptom picture of the entire person (physical, mental and emotional) with a symptom picture of one remedy in a pharmacy of over 3000 medicines.

Homeopathic philosophy is based on the law of similars. This law or principle is based on a long held belief as far back as Hippocrates, that substances which produce symptoms in a healthy individual can be used to treat similar symptoms in a sick person. For example, cutting an onion elicits symptoms of running nose, (clear discharge) and stinging eyes with tears. When someone presents with these (typically allergic) symptoms, we may give the remedy made from the onion, Allium Cepa, to restore balance and health to the person, often resulting in the relief of the allergic symptoms. Vaccination works along the same principle. Thus homeopathic treatment rebalances the body to return to health.

Homeopathy may be used to treat acute conditions, chronic illnesses and minor accidents requiring first aid, and also to build the body’s health and immunity. It may also be of great assistance in more mental/emotional problems such as anxiety, phobias, depression, insomnia, nightmares and stress related health problems such as headaches, skin problems and digestive problems, to name a few.

Homeopathy is entirely safe, non toxic and easy to take. The medicines are given as small sweet pillules or in a mild tasting liquid form, so it’s perfect for children, babies, the elderly and anyone in between!
