What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a system of medicine, which has a different approach to disease and remedies from that of conventional or allopathic medicine. In Homeopathy the symptoms of the illness are viewed as an indication or sign of the bodies endeavour to heal itself. Homeopathy attempts to stimulate the body’s own natural healing capacity with remedies acting as a trigger.
Homeopathy has been well established for almost 200 years, although the principles upon which it is based have been known for thousands of years. It was organized into a modern science by Samuel Hahnemann a German doctor and chemist. Hahnemann was instrumental in the development of ‘like curing like’, that is to say a substance that would normally create the symptoms of a disease in a healthy person will actually cure that disease in a sick person.

Who uses Homeopathy?

The answer is quite simple, anyone! People are attracted to it because of its gentleness, power and ability to treat everyone as an individual. You do not have to be ill to benefit from homeopathic treatment. Homeopathy can be used by anyone of any age, for all physical, mental and emotional problems. Its gentle and non-invasive nature means many are first attracted to it as an alternative in pregnancy or for children’s health issues.
