Homeopathy has been around for over 200 years and is considered to be the second most widely used form of medicine in the World.
Homeopathy is a system of medicine that focuses on supporting your body to heal itself by addressing all of the symptoms you are experiencing. It uses natural remedies to help the body, mind and spirit harmonize and find balance and support your natural healing processes.
During a homeopathic consultation we will look over your past health history and any events which may have impacted your current situation as well as any symptoms and problems you are experiencing at the present moment. This will allow us to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and create an individualized treatment plan catered to your specific needs. Looking beyond the scope of a diagnosis ‘label’ is one of the aspects which makes homeopathic approach much more flexible in comparison to the more mainstream treatment options.

FAQs about Homeopathy
How does Homeopathy work?
Homeopathy is a system of natural medicine that has been used for centuries to support healing of a wide array of conditions. It works on the principle of “like cures like” which means that a substance that causes a particular symptom in a healthy person can be used to treat the same symptom in someone who is sick; for example, let’s picture a person who has trouble falling asleep due to restless, intrusive thoughts- such person could benefit from a homeopathic remedy made from coffee- a substance which is very well known for its stimulating effects when taken in its natural, crude form.
What are Homeopathic remedies made from?
Homeopathic medicines are called remedies.
Remedies usually come in a shape of small round granules made on a base of sucrose or lactose which act as carriers for the medicinal liquid; you take them a little bit differently to the medications you might be used to as they don’t need to be swallowed- you put them under your tongue and wait for them to dissolve.
Homeopathic remedies are typically made from natural sources like plants, minerals and animals (but not exclusively, we have many remedies derived from other sources, like medicines or organ secretions, to name a few) and are prepared in a very specific way, through repeated process of dilution and succussion, so that they can effectively target the root cause of the illness.
What can Homeopathic treatment help with?
Homeopathy is based on individualized treatment, so two patients diagnosed with the same disease may receive different homeopathic remedies.
Homeopathy can be used to help manage symptoms of everyday illnesses as well as more chronic problems. People often choose homeopathic treatment when dealing with:
- Emotional problems of multiple origin
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Fibromyalgia
- Chronic Pain: whether it’s a non-specific Lower Back Pain or whatever else you might have been diagnosed with- remember, we are focusing on what you are experiencing and not just the diagnosis of it
- Circulatory problems
- Digestive Issues, like IBS, Indigestion, etc.
- Skin Problems: Acne, Eczema, Psoriasis, Ringworm, Fungal Infections
- Hormonal Imbalances & Thyroid Disorders which can show up as a multitude of symptoms: PMS, PMT, Thrush, Menopause, Problems Conceiving, Irregular or Painful Periods
- Physical problems which started after a traumatic event
- …and many more!
Is Homeopathy safe?
Homeopaths select the most suitable remedy based on individual symptoms and then prescribe the appropriate potency and dose.
What makes Homeopathy stand out from other forms of medicine is the fact that it:
- is safe to be used in babies, children, teenagers, adults, pregnant women and elderly alike
- is non-toxic and doesn’t put any strain on the body
- doesn’t cause any side effects
- can be used alongside ANY other treatments, therapy or medications or on its own
Want to know a little bit more about Homeopathy?
Homeopathy was discovered by a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann, in XVIII century.
Hahnemann became disillusioned by the medical practices of his time (leeches, bloodletting, mercury salves) and so became interested in the healing properties of nature. Having experimented with different substances, he came to the same conclusion as Hippocrates before him; Similia Similibus Curentur (Like Cures Like) became the foundation principle of the new method of treatment, which Hahnemann called Homeopathy.
The term Homeopathy is derived from Greek words homeo (similar) and pathos (suffering or disease). Homeopathy is thus the practice of treating syndromes and conditions that constitute disease, with remedies that produced similar symptoms in healthy subjects (none of the homeopathic remedies are tested on animals).
