Homeopathy
Homeopathy aims to cure health problems by treating the whole person instead of just the illness' symptoms.
It is based on the theory that ‘like cures like', meaning that if something causes certain symptoms it can also be used to treat them.
Basically, homeopathy believes that if you give the body a tiny dose of a substance that simulates the symptoms of an illness then the body learns to fight that illness. This is similar to the principle of vaccinations.
- Homeopathic remedies are extremely diluted solutions from herb, animal and mineral sources.
- Homeopathy is used to treat a huge range of health problems.
- On a first consultation, a homeopathic practitioner will talk to you in detail about your health, emotions and lifestyle to make sure you get suitable treatment.
- Some homeopathic remedies are also available in health food shops and chemists.
