HOMEOPATHY
Homeopathy is an effective, scientifically well-founded form of treatment. It is based in the ancient Greek and Arabic medical systems and was established more than 200 years ago by a German doctor, Samuel Hahnemann.
By using homeopathic remedies, the person is stimulated to regain their balance and therefore well-being. Homeopathic medicine is treating the whole person rather than the disease itself.
Together with Acupuncture, Chiropractic and Osteopathy, it is one of the four most widely sought-after forms of alternative treatment in the UK, and is even supported by the Royal Family!
Homeopathy is based on the Law of Similars. This states that any substance which can cause symptoms in a healthy human being, whether emotional or physical, can restore to health an individual showing similar symptoms, when they appear as symptoms of disease.
The purpose of homeopathic treatment is to increase your vitality, and to increase the body’s own resistance to disease, and its capacity for self-healing so that eventually only infrequent treatment is required.
