Homeopathy is an effective and scientific system of healing
which has been practiced for over 200 years. It works by assisting the natural
desire of the body to heal itself. It recognizes that all symptoms of ill health
are expressions of disharmony within the whole person and that it is the patient
who needs treatment, not the disease.
Key Benefits
Homeopathy is an extremely gentle
therapy, with no side-effects
It can be used safely in conjunction
with orthodox medicine, and so acts in a truly complementary way with standard
treatment from the doctor
As part of a healthy life-style,
homeopathy can strengthen the body to help it defend itself better against
many bacterial and viral infections
About Homeopathic Treatment
In 1796 Samuel Hahnemann, a German doctor discovered a
different approach to curing the sick, which he named homeopathy (from the Greek
meaning "similar suffering"). He realised that there are two ways of treating
ill health — the way of opposites and the way of similars.
Take insomnia as an example. Treating insomnia by way of opposites involves
drugs that bring on artificial sleep. This can involve the use of regular or
even high doses, which can sometimes cause side effects or addiction. The way of
similars, the homeopathic way, is to give the patient an infinitesimally small
dose of a substance such as coffee while in large doses this causes
sleeplessness in a healthy person, in a very, very small dose it does in fact
bring sleep on naturally.
Homeopathic remedies cannot cause side effects and are not addictive. This is
because only a very minute amount of the active ingredient is used in a
specially prepared form.
Once your full condition has been diagnosed, you will receive a homeopathic
medicine or remedy which matches your symptoms as you personally experience
them. The prescription also takes account of you as a person — your individual
characteristics emotionally as well as physically. And in so doing heals and
strengthens you.

As part of my practice I use advanced
computer aided homeopathic diagnostic tools together with a database of all
the classical homeopathic texts. This enables me to complete my case
analysis both quickly and accurately.
Identifying key symptoms.
Evaluating the best potential remedy for the patient.
Taking the patient's blood pressure.
Selecting the most appropriate remedy from the remedy library.
Selection of the chosen remedies.
After a full homeopathic consultation, where the main symptoms of the case are identified, an advanced Homopathy Repertorising software package is used to identify the best fit of remedy for the patient.
The resulting symptoms and the remedies that are known to be effective in treating them, are extracted from an extensive database and the results displayed.
I will monitor blood pressure in cases where there is a heart condition or a family history of heart disease. Homeopathy is a holistic approach, meaning that all the information about a patient is of equal importance.
There are several thousand remedies to chose from in a variety of potencies. In my practice I keep many of the most commonly prescribed remedies in stock. However, on occasion when a more unusual remedy is indicated, that can be ordered in from a homopathic pharmacy, such as Helios.
The remedies are typically administered on tiny sugar tablets, or globules, which are quite pleasant tasting. children rarely have a problem taking them. Even with babies there is no problem as the remedy can be crushed between 2 teaspoons and the powder put on their tongue. These tablets are usually taken as a single dose. Alternately, the remedy may come as a liquid, often called LMs, which is usually taken daily.
