What is homeopathy?
Homeopathic treatment brings a healthy balance to your body and mind using carefully selected remedies to stimulate the natural self-healing resources we all have. The remedies are made from a vast range of substances and the process of preparation renders them free of toxic effects and safe for people of all ages.
What kinds of problems respond to homeopathy?
The homeopath is treating the person, not just their condition - every person is individual with their own way of expressing health and dis-ease. Clients seeking homeopathic help may suffer from a whole range of conditions, both acute and chronic. Give me a call, without obligation, to discuss how homeopathy may benefit you.
What happens when I visit a homeopath?
Your first appointment will last about an hour and a half. It is really a conversation about your problem, your health history, your life style and you. A homeopath is interested in much more detail than a doctor would be because:
remedies are selected to suit you as an individual
the treatment is for you as a whole person, not just a single condition
How your energy, mood and attitudes are affected by your health problem and what likes and dislikes you have about food, drink, climate, activity etc are all relevant.
One or more remedies will be prescribed for you. The remedies are either in liquid or tablet form and are pleasant to take. They are entirely non-toxic so there are no side-effects. You will experience changes as your own healing response takes place.
You will be seen again, probably after 4 weeks, to see what has changed and to provide further remedies as appropriate. How many appointments you may need depends upon many factors, including how long you have had the problem, how deep the problem is and if there are any factors contributing to the condition. These follow-up appointments last between 45 minutes to an hour.
Can anyone use homeopathy?
Yes, it can be used by anyone. It is safe in the very young and during pregnancy because it is non-toxic. The remedies will not interact with any prescribed medications. However, some prescribed or over-the-counter medications may affect the homeopathic remedies - this will be discussed at your first appointment.
Choosing someone to work with you to improve your health is an important decision and I am happy to have an initial chat on the phone or face to face to answer any questions you might have about how I work or about homeopathy and your particular health problems.
