Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a natural form of complementary medicine which encourages the body to heal itself. It has been practised worldwide for over 200 years to help treat a wide range of health conditions and is the second largest system of medicine in the world today, as recognised by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Homeopathy can help with minor ailments such as cuts and bruises and coughs and colds. Homeopathy can also help with long-term problems, particularly those which have failed to respond to conventional medicine, such as arthritis, asthma, migraine, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, eczema and irritable bowel syndrome.

Homeopathy treats each person as a unique individual with the aim of stimulating their own natural healing ability. Homeopaths work in a similar way to conventional doctors, but as well as asking about the unique way your symptoms affect you, a homeopath will also cover your lifestyle, medical history and state of mind. Your homeopath will then prescribe the most appropriate homeopathic medicine.

Homeopathy is safe for people at all life stages including babies and pregnant or breast feeding women. Unlike some conventional drugs, homeopathic medicines are non-addictive with no dangerous side-effects.
