WHAT IS HOMOEOPATHY?

Homoeopathy is a natural, holistic, complete system of medicine.

Homoeopathy treats you as a whole person rather than your disease(s) by stimulating your body's natural healing mechanisms.

For two centuries homoeopathy has been successful in the treatment and cure of many conditions for which orthodox medicine can only offer drugs to keep the symptoms at bay.

Homoeopathy will not only cure your symptoms it will also help you by treating the root cause of your illness(es) thereby ensuring your good health for the future.

As a professional homoeopath I aim to help my patients achieve freedom from all limitations in their lives and to reach such a level of good health that they are no longer dependant on any form of medicine or therapy.

HOMOEOPATHY IS A HOLISTIC MEDICINE.

I do not treat physical, psychological, emotional or even spiritual illnesses separately since they only represent aspects of the patient's suffering.  I treat the whole person.

When starting homoeopathic treatment I will ask you questions that seem to bear little or no relevance to your presenting complaint.  This is because I need to have a clear picture of you in your entirety before prescribing your homoeopathic remedies.  This is because I treat your as a whole person not just a list of symptoms.

WHO CAN IT HELP?

Because homoeopathy is a holistic medicine people suffering from all forms of illness can be treated from depression to arthritis, panic attacks to ulcers, asthma to cancers and now more modern diseases like AIDS and ME.  People suffering from these and all other illnesses can be helped by homoeopathy to regain their health.

Good health is more than just being free from pain and attaining physical fitness, it is also about leading a happy life and fulfilling our potential.  To do this we need to be functioning freely on every level.

Because homoeopathy is a holistic medicine anybody will benefit from treatment even if all they need is a boost in energy, confidence and vitality.

WHAT ARE HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES?

They are derived from a variety of natural substances such as plants and minerals.  After initial preparation of the raw material the remedies are made by a process of serial dilution and vigourous shaking in a solution of alcohol and water.  This is either done a few times or up to many thousands of times depending on the potency or strength required.  The resulting homoeopathic remedy is then either used in its liquid form or soaked into tablets or granules for convenience.

Those who do not wish to take alcohol based remedies can be prescribed remedies prepared without the presence of alcohol.

HOW DO THEY WORK?

The process of serial dilution and vigorous shaking imprints the characteristic energy pattern of the original substance into the alcohol and water solution.  This may be likened to the transmission of television signals, where the original scene is convereted into an electro-magnetic energy pattern and broadcast to your TV.

A homoeopathic remedy acts as a signal that energises or stimulates the bodies self healing powers working on all aspects of the patient psychologically, emotionally and physically.

Just as a TV needs a signal of exactly the right wavelength to produce a good picture so each patient will only respond healthily to the most appropriate remedy(ies).

Only a minute stimulus from the correct remedy(ies) is needed.  I aim to cure with the minimum amount of medicine and intervention.

ARE THEY SAFE?

They are safe and very effective and can be safely used alongside any drugs prescribed by your doctor.

Homoeopathic remedies stimulate the body's energy rather than its chemical balance, so there are no side-effects as there is no chemical element to accumulate in the body's tissues - unlike conventional and some Chinese medicines.  For the same reasons it is not possible to overdose on homoeopathic medicines.

WHAT TO EXPECT

When you visit me you will receive a great deal of personal time and attention.

You will be asked to fill in a simple questionaire concerning your specific complaint(s) and medical history.

Your initial consultation will last for an hour during which I will ask you not only about the complaint(s) you want treated but also about your general health, family history and more generally about your personality, your likes and dislikes and any areas of dissatisfaction in your life.  All this is necessary to select the appropriate remedies for you.

Further consultations also last about an hour according to your individual need.

Depending on your complaint(s) you may only need to come a couple of times in total or as often as once a month for a year or more.

All remedies are included in the cost of treatment and there is no extra charge for telephone consultations in between appointments in the event of accident, sudden illness or crisis.

Whether you have a physical or psychological condition or you are just feeling under the weather

H OMOEOPATHY

offers you a better way to regain your health.
