What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a highly successful natural form of medicine which investigates all aspects of health; physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. It is a system of healing which assists the body to heal itself. It recognises that all symptoms are expressions of disharmony within the whole person and that it is the patient who needs treatment and not the disease. It is safe, gentle and suitable for everyone, young and old.
In 1796, a German doctor, Samuel Hahnemann discovered homeopathy. That word ‘homeopathy’ comes from the Greek meaning ‘similar suffering’. It is based on the concept that ‘like cures like’. This means that the way in which we become ill and all the symptoms we feel are matched by those the remedy would cause if it were repeatedly given to a healthy person. In a tiny but powerful dose, that remedy can work with our vitality to stimulate those aspects which have been affected. Because the system is precise, there are no side effects.
