What is homeopathy? Homeopathy is a safe, natural, non-addictive medicine. It focuses on you as an individual. It is a holistic medicine; it treats the physical as well as the mental and emotional layers. It is one of the two most widely used forms of medicine in the world today. Over 30 million people in Europe already benefit from homeopathic treatment.

How does it work?

Homeopathy works on the principle of 'the law of similars' or 'like cures like'. The law states that a substance that can cause disease can also relieve it. For example take a case of insomnia. The conventional treatment may be with strong sedatives. The homeopathic way is to give a minute dose of homeopathically prepared coffee – Coffea-, which in large doses cause sleeplessness in a healthy person. Another example is that chopping onions can cause your nose and eyes to run with copious amounts of water. The onion-Allium Cepa-can be used homoeopathically to treat colds and hay fever where the main symptoms include runny eyes and nose.


What are homeopathic remedies? Are they safe?

Homeopathic remedies are gentle, subtle and powerful. They usually come in tablet, powder or liquid form. They are drawn from the plant, mineral and animal worlds. They work by gently boosting the natural energy of the body and are very safe, even for pregnant women, children, the elderly and sensitive patients. There is no danger of addiction or toxicity. They are safe, non-toxic, non-addictive and they can be taken alongside drugs prescribed by your doctor.

What happens in a consultation?

The initial consultation may take an hour, with follow-up consultations of half an hour. It is usual to leave a gap of 3-4 weeks between consultations.

All consultations are confidential.


What can I expect from homeopathic treatment?

Patients often feel a sense of well being, optimism and relaxation after taking a remedy. The speed with which you feel relief will depend upon the condition being treated. In acute ailments, this can be very fast indeed. In more chronic conditions your recovery rate will depend upon the nature and duration of your illness and your individual vitality. Many patients find homeopathic treatment can also help them achieve better health by reducing susceptibility to disease.
