What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a holistic medicine, treating the whole person not just the symptoms of disease. It is a safe, effective, non-invasive and gentle form of treatment.

Homeopathy uses naturally occurring substances in the form of remedies which come from plants, minerals and the animal kingdom. For example we have remedies made from nettles, granite and even bee’s sting.

Remedies are made in a homeopathic pharmacy where substances go through serial dilution which means they interact in a very gentle way with the body.

Homeopathy is effective in treating physical, mental and emotional conditions including;

• Childhood illnesses teething, recurrent infections, behavioural difficulties.
• Skin conditions eczema, psoriasis, allergic reactions.
• Pregnancy childbirth, breastfeeding, post-natal depression.
• Period pains pre-menstrual tension, menopause.
• Infertility erectile dysfunction.
• Respiratory complaints asthma, cough.
• Gastric upsets stomach ulcers, indigestion.
• Constipation diarrhoea, thrush.
• Depression anxiety, panic attacks, suicidal thoughts.
• Shock post traumatic disorder, insomnia

(This is only a sample of complaints, homeopathy can treat many more)
