The practice of Homeopathy is a centuries old method of healing.  Used widely across Asia and Europe.

The fundamental of homeopathy is treating the person, as whole by focusing on the individual patients physical and mental wellbeing.  Treatment is often a combination of natural remedies and counselling which the practitioner will research and piece together.  These are based on current symptoms, including any relevant medication. Reviewing contributing factors, which may have aggravated or caused the illness (on occasion, unknown or not discovered until later!) and the heritage of health which often influences predispositions to certain groups of ill health. 

Once this information is gathered the homeopath will research and prescribe a bespoke course of treatment with the prescription of small white sucrose pills. Including detail on the frequency and dose.

A standard course of action would then involve the patient returning for a further consultation at an agreed period of time (often after two, four or six weeks) to review the treatment and whether the prescription requires adjustment; or to continue with the current medication and watch, wait and review on the next scheduled appointment.

There are no known medical side effects from taking homeopathy as it is completely natural – making it a useful armoury. It is a powerful form of prescribing and works at the individual’s pace.  No two clinical cases are the same.  However, it is flexible and often works successfully alongside prescribed medication.  A professional homeopath will never encourage a patient to halt their prescribed medication, as this could be detrimental or a threat to life; but in some instances, you may feel that your symptoms have improved and the use of some medicines may not be needed as frequently, or at all.
