Homeopathic Medicine

Following a thorough consultation with your homeopath a prescription will be individually tailored to match the symptoms which you have described to encourage the body’s natural capacity for self-healing.

“The natural force in each of us is the greatest force in getting well”

Quotation by Hippocrates

Hippocrates who is honored by doctors in the Hippocratic Oath and is acclaimed to be the father of modern medicine recognised the potential for our individual ability for natural healing dating back as far as the 4th century.

Since homeopathy was founded by Dr Samuel Hahnemann, German Physician in 1796  it has grown in popularity and is the second largest system of medicine in the world (1).  A 6 year study in 2005 at Bristol Homeopathic Hospital concluded that 70% of those who use homeopathy experienced improvements in health.

Based on the principle of ‘like with like‘, homeopathic medicine (also known as homeopathic remedies) are made from natural substances and prepared using only the minimal amount of the original active ingredient which undergoes a process known as potentisation.  Homeopathic medicine is non-addictive and when prescribed by a professional homeopath can safely be used at any stage in life, (during pregnancy/childbirth, for babies and children through to old age).  They can be taken in conjunction with prescribed medication. Remedies are easy to take, they are usually prescribed in the form of tiny sugar pills or soft dissolving pills, or sometimes in liquid form.

I obtain my homeopathic supplies from Helios Pharmacy who produce homeopathic remedies of the highest quality, using the traditional Hahnemann techniques of hand trituration and potentisation (For information on how homeopathic medicine is made see link
