Homoeopathy is a complete system of medicine that aims to promote general health by reinforcing the body's own natural healing capacity.
The principle of 'like can cure like' - that an illness should be treated by a substance capable of producing similar symptoms to those being suffered by the patient - is the basis of the homoeopathic philosophy.
Homoeopathy treats the individual rather than the disease using minute, diluted doses of substances drawn from a variety of natural sources like plants and minerals.

WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?
The initial consultation may last for 90 minutes during which time your full case history will be taken. You will be asked details about your personality, past and present health, sleep patterns, food preferences and so on, after which a remedy will be given.
You will need to attend a follow-up session to assess how effective the remedy has been and whether another remedy needs to be given. How often you need to come after that depends on many factors - generally a more recent complaint will improve more quickly than one of longer standing. |
