What is Homeopathy?

People who have had homoeopathic treatment generally find that their state of health and well-being has improved. They are better able to resist infection and have a greater sense of stability and
individual purpose in life.
Homoeopathy has been established for about 200 years. The founder, Dr Samuel Hahnemann showed that a substance, which produces symptoms in a healthy person, could be used to treat an ill person suffering from similar symptoms -
“Similia Similibus Curenter” “Like can cure Like”
A homoeopathic remedy, when prescribed, must match your symptoms as you experience them.
This also takes account of you as a person with your individual physical and emotional characteristics.
Remedies are derived from a variety of natural materials including plants and minerals and are prepared in licensed laboratories under strict quality control.
They are given in tablet, granules or powder form, and are available in different but extremely dilute strengths, which are identified by a potency number Homoeopathic remedies cannot cause side effects and you cannot become addicted to them.

depression, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, seasonal affective disorder, anxiety, viral syndromes, chronic ear infections, menopausal
