About Homeopathy
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a system of medicine which is based on treating the individual with diluted and highly energised remedies. What makes these substances Homoeopathic is the careful process of dilution and succession (shaking and agitating the mixture) which releases the natural energy and removes the poisons and toxins that it may contain.
This process makes it safe..... for adults, children and animals to take.
The remedies are made from natural sources, such as plants, animals and minerals given mostly in tablet form, which restores balance in the body by increasing ones own immune system. Homeopathy will not only cure just a certain condition but it treats the person overall.
How does Homeopathy work?
Homoeopathy works by treating an individual with three important principles.
1st Principle - Like with Like
Here is an example that illustrates this. If a healthy person were to cut an onion, they could experience the following symptoms; burning and smarting in eyes, watery discharge from eyes and nose, headache. If someone has symptoms similar to these we would administer the homeopathic remedy Allium cepa which is prepared from raw onions. This would stimulate the body's natural healing process, fighting off the disease picture, resulting in health and harmony. This is known as the SIMILLIMUM.
2nd Principle - Individualisation
Each individual is unique in terms of their personality and physical makeup. For example; ten people with headaches are likely to each need a different remedy because they experience their symptoms in a different way.
3rd Principle - Holistic Approach
This means that the name of the illness has a small part to play, as we treat the whole person, looking in detail at all of the symptoms you are experiencing.
