| What is Homeopathy? Homeopathy is a natural system of medicine which treats the whole person rather than just the illness, taking into consideration their physical, mental, and emotional states. It is safe, gentle, and there are no harmful side effects, so it is also very useful for babies and children of any age, and during pregnancy and birth. Homeopathy has been in world-wide use for around 200 years, having been started in the late 18th century by Samuel Hahnemann. It is based upon 'The Law of Similars', which is an ancient principle stating that 'like cures like', meaning that a remedy is selected for an illness, which has been derived from a substance which would create the same symptoms that it is treating, in a healthy body. As a lot of the substances from where the remedies are derived would be toxic in their full, physical form, there is only actually a miniscule amount, or in higher potencies, only the 'energetic imprint' of the actual substance in the remedies themselves, so they are completely non-toxic. For example, a cold with a runny nose and streaming eyes can be treated with a small dose of allium cepa (a homeopathic remedy derived from onion), which would in its full, physical form produce these symptoms of a runny nose and streaming eyes. It is basically like when two opposing waves in the sea come together at exactly the same time and cancel eachother out. Afterwards, all is calm. In my practise, I use more practical homeopathy, which is a style of homeopathy that uses many different methods in order to address an ailment and restore balance to a person's system; it also incorporates classical homeopathy (the original, 200 year old style) where apropriate, and is really a style of homeopathy for the 21st century, which takes into consideration things like toxicity (from medication / drugs, diet or even environment), which may need addressing before someone is given their 'constitutional remedy' (the remedy which best suits their whole physical and mental makeover). If the toxicity is not removed, then the constitutional remedy will not work as well, and there may be a 'healing crisis' or 'aggravation' (a worsening of symptoms before getting better). 'The softest tones of a distant flute in the still midnight hours which would inspire a tender heart with exalted feelings...are inaudible and powerless, amid discordant cries and the noise of the day...' Samuel Hahnemann What Conditions Can it Help? Homeopathy can help just about any condition you can think of, including: Acne Allergies Arthritis / Rheumatism Babies' health Bronchitis / Coughs Candidiasis Circulatory problems Colds / Flu Childrens' health: all ailments Chronic fatigue (ME) Cystitis Diabetes Digestive complaints / IBS Eczema / all skin complaints Hayfever Heart problems Insomnia Libido problems Male: all ailments Menopause Menstrual problems Mental / emotional problems (all anxieties / fears, depression, grief, anger, regret, shyness, stage fright, and many others) Migraines / headaches Pregnancy and birth Pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) Ulcers Vaccination alternatives / side effects Varicose veins 'An illness is like a weed in the garden; if its roots are not properly removed, then it merely festers under the surface, and grows into something far worse...' Unknown source What Benefits can be Expected? You can expect to see both physical and mental (as well as spiritual) benefits after homeopathic treatment, as it works on all levels, and instead of just suppressing the symptoms of an illness, it will address the root causes, therefore completely removing an ailment, and making sure that it does not reoccur. Homeopathy is also very effective at removing any regrets, deep seated traumas, and negative emotions about things which have happened in your past which may be affecting you now, in ways such as making you feel ill at ease; so it can help you feel generally more relaxed and content in your day to day life. 'Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn't you - all of the expectations, all of the beliefs - and becoming who you are...' Rachel Naomi Watts |
