Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a safe, gentle, effective and non-toxic route to the restoration and enhancement of health. It is a holistic process of cure, where the person rather than the labelled
disease condition is treated. Clients generally find that improvement is experienced on many levels, rather than exclusively with the presenting complaint.
My patients are newborns right up to older people and everything in between! At a consultation you will explore the important issues relating to your health, it should be a relaxing and
enlightening experience.
Many people seek help from homeopathy when they are going through a difficult patch either physically or emotionally. The confidential and supportive environment along with the remedy helps the patient regain perspective and balance. A first consultation for an adult will take at least an hour and a half, a child’s consultation an hour. Be prepared to be asked questions like what is your favourite food, what do you dream about, do you like to sit out in the sun, or are you happier in the shade? What are you frightened of, do you like to spend time alone? I will be building up a profile of you, and what makes you unique. The answers to these questions will help match your case to one of the several thousand remedies at our disposal.
For example should you have a headache it may be banging or pressure, squeezing inwards or bursting outwards. It maybe over your eyes or at the back or top of your head. You may wish to lie flat and still or slightly raised, or you may be restless. You may feel nauseous, thirsty, hungry or neither! Perhaps despite being chilly you may want the window open and the duvet tucked up to your chin. Solitude maybe what you yearn for or you may feel frightened and want reassurance and company. None of which is right or wrong it is just the way it is. So it is not only your symptoms but how you respond to them which is important. This knowledge enables me to select an appropriate
Homeopathy works on the principle of ’like cures like’. This means that a
substance that would cause symptoms to appear in a healthy person when given in its raw state will cure those very same symptoms if the substance is transformed into a homeopathic medicine by the
active ingredient being diluted in water.
Another example, think about what happens to your eyes and nose when you slice up a red onion, your nose will run and your eyes will stream. The remedy Allium Cepa is made from red onions; it stimulates the healing capacity of the body when suffering from a streaming cold or hay fever with those same symptoms.
You will recieve your remedy in a small tablet which is sucked and is tasteless. Instantly dissolvable tablets are used for babies.
