Homeopathy - A Deeper Understanding

Homeopathy is the second largest medical system in the world and it has been used worldwide for over 200 years. Founded by German physician, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in the late 18th century, homeopathy is based on the principle “like cures like", meaning that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person has the capacity to cure those same set of symptoms in someone who is sick. For example, a homeopathic preparation of white onion, may be prescribed to treat hay fever or symptoms of burning and watering eyes, as this is commonly the reaction one has when exposed to freshly cut onion.

To prepare a homeopathic remedy, a medicinal substance from nature, like a plant, is mixed with pharmacy-grade ethanol, creating a tincture. This tincture is then diluted by adding one drop to ninety-nine drops of distilled water, followed by vigorous agitation. This initial process can then be repeated to create the different levels of potency used in homeopathy. This process, known as potentisation, eliminates any toxic effects of the original substance and creates an energetic and dynamic medicine, that is both gentle and powerful, with patients reporting profound healing effects, on both a physical and emotional level.

Homeopathy treats the individual, not the disease. Every person's experience of a disease or imbalance is totally unique, so each homeopathic treatment plan is uniquely designed to meet the specific needs of each person. During the consultation, the homeopath gathers detailed information relating to an individual's symptoms, whilst also analysing the patient's overall health, including diet, digestion, emotional health, sleep and lifestyle. 

 

At the heart of homeopathy is the belief that the body has an inherent ability to heal itself. Homeopathic remedies are specifically matched to each patient's set of symptoms to stimulate healing, the energy of the medicine is selected to mirror the energy of the illness, in wonderful synchronicity.

Homeopathy offers a unique and time-tested alternative for people that want a natural and non toxic treatment for medical concerns. Homeopathy is suitable to be used with conventional medicine and other therapies.

 

Homeopathy has long been popular with the rich and famous; the Royal Family have had a resident homeopath on their medical team since the rein of Queen Victoria and A-listers such as Paul McCartney, David Beckham, Jude Law, Helena Bonham Carter, Jennifer Aniston, Chris Martin and the 'fastest man in the world', Usain Bolt, are all advocates of homeopathy.
