Homeopathy is recognised by the World Health Organisation as the second most prevalent therapeutic system in the world. It is used by over 30 million people in Europe, and is especially popular in Whatever your initial motivation for choosing homeopathy the Homeopath will always look at both body and mind together, as the one is inextricably linked with the other. By addressing the totality of the individual on both these levels, homeopathy works on the totality of your symptoms to rebalance your whole mind and body. This gentle approach has many obvious benefits, the most important being homeopathy’s ability to offer a tailored response to your specific symptoms, without causing you the discomfort of side effects. The potentised remedies simply work with the body's own inherent intelligence, stimulating the body to heal itself. In theory there is no limit to what conditions homeopathy can treat, in practice it depends on the experience of the practitioner, and also the laws in different countries limiting what can be treated. The advantage of Homeopathic remedies is that they are highly diluted, safe substances and therefore do not interact with conventional medications.
The Main Principle of Homeopathy. “As to diseases, make a habit of two things – help or at least do no harm” Hippocrates ca. 460 BC - ca. 370 BC The fundamental basis for the practice of homeopathy is based on the principle of 'Similars' set out by Hippocrates. This fundamentally contrasts with the principle of 'Opposites' as utilised by allopathy -the conventional medicine that is prescribed by your GP. For example, allopathic medicine will use a method to treat a skin condition, by suppressing it with an agent such as coal tar products, steroids based creams, etc. This will produce an effect that is opposite to the problem, and is supressive, preventing the body's own reaction. By contrast, homeopathy uses a remedy that will cause a similar condition. The effect of this is to allow the body to utilise its natural defences and act curatively, non-suppressive. Therefore, when you take Homeopathic medicine you are effectively Kick-starting your body into fighting the problem itself, giving your immune system the necessary information to do so. The body’s own healing powers are stimulated to tackle the problem that is causing you to be unwell.
