What is homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a gentle, holistic system of healing, suitable for
everyone, young and old. Homeopathy focuses on you as an individual, concentrating
on treating your specific physical and emotional symptoms, to give long lasting benefits.
The therapy is based on the theory of treating “the likes with likes”. Homeopathic
remedies are diluted natural substances that if given to a healthy person, would
produce the symptoms the medicine is prescribed for. In the assessment of you, the
patient, homeopaths will take into account the range of physical, emotional and lifestyle
factors in order to prescribe the right medicine(s).
Homeopathy is a complementary
therapy. Homeopathy has been widely used throughout the world for more than 200 years.
In 2000, the House of Lords’ Select Committee on Science & Technology cited homeopathy
as one of the five Group One therapies, having “an individual diagnostic approach”
along with osteopathy, chiropractic, herbal medicine and acupuncture. Homeopathy
can be safely used alongside most conventional medicines.
How long has Homeopathy been used?
Homeopathy has been used in the UK for over two hundred years, but has an honourable tradition dating back to ancient Greece. It was Samuel Hahnemann, a brilliant doctor working in 1796 who developed the scientific and philosophical foundations of this other system of medicine. These scientific principles form the basis of successful homeopathic practice today.
Are homeopathic remedies safe?
Homeopathic remedies are a unique, potentised energy medicine, drawn from the plant,
mineral and animal worlds. They are diluted to such a degree that not one molecule
of the original substance can be detected (after the 12c potency).
They work by gently
boosting the natural energy of the body, and are very safe, even for pregnant and
sensitive patients. There is no danger of addiction or toxicity.
How are the remedies made?
The raw extracts (from plants or animals) or triturations (from minerals and salts) are made into a ‘tincture’ with alcohol which forms the basis of the dilution procedure. Dilutions are made up to either 1 part tincture to 10 parts water (1x) or 1 part tincture to 100 parts water (1c).
If they are so dilute, how can they work?
After each dilution the mixture is vigorously agitated in a machine that delivers
a calibrated amount of shaking. This is called succussion. It is thought that this
process imprints the healing energy of the medicinal substance throughout the body
of water (the diluent) as if a message is passed on. The message contains the healing
energy. Even in ultra-
What can homeopathy treat?
Homeopathy has a wide application, from acute fevers, sore throats and toothache, to chronic illnesses such as arthritis, eczema, asthma, anxiety, mild depression and chronic fatigue syndrome. There has been some very good research evidence to support this.
What happens when you see a homeopath?
Your homeopath understands that establishing good health involves treating both mind and body, so time is taken to listen to your emotional and physical symptoms. To stimulate your body's own healing process, a remedy closest to your individual symptom picture is prescribed. The healing process will start from within the body, strengthening your health and immune system, without any danger of damaging side effects.
Homeopathy for Skin Problems
Skin problems can be a great cause of stress and low
self esteem and although topical applications may help, they are not able to get
to the route of the problem, combining homeopathy to deal with the route cause and
a good skin care regime will maximise your skin acre results from acne to eczema.
Homeopathy for help with fertility, pregnancy and birth
Fertility:
The best preparation
for a healthy pregnancy is before conception. Homeopathy optimises your health preparing
you for pregnancy and improves hormone function helping with conception difficulties
or a tendency to early miscarriages. By improving your health through constitutional
homeopathic treatment and thorough analysis of mineral and vitamin deficiencies the
chances of a healthy pregnancy are greater. This works very well with reflexology
and/or acupuncture.
Pregnancy:
Homeopathy is ideal for women in their childbearing
years as it is a gentle yet highly effective system of medicine. During pregnancy,
some women will choose to live with the discomfort of minor complaints such as morning
sickness or heartburn, rather than seek treatment because they are concerned about
the possible side effects of orthodox medicines on their unborn child. Homeopathic
medicines are safe for your growing baby because only a minute amount of the active
ingredient is used in their preparation. They work by stimulating the body’s own
healing powers. This works very well with reflexology and/or acupuncture.
Birth:
There are effective remedies to help deal with possible problems during childbirth,
such as a cervix which is slow to dilate, pain, excessive bleeding, retained placenta
and other difficulties. Your homeopath will advise you and your partner on the use
of remedies in labour.
Healing after the birth:
After the birth, you can use homeopathic remedies to speed up healing for yourself
and your baby -
Problems that can make it difficult for women to breastfeed successfully include
mastitis, painful nipples and a slow milk supply.
Homeopaths recognise that breast
milk gives babies a good start in life, so do keep in touch with your midwife, breastfeeding
counsellor and/or your homeopath if you want to breastfeed but find it painful or
difficult or both.
Children
Mothers want the best for their children and homeopathy offers a safe option
for your little ones. Children have natural vitality and reveal their symptoms spontaneously.
They respond quickly to homeopathic treatment. It can be used to treat colic, cradle
cap, teething or sleeping difficulties acute infections such as gastric upsets, childhood
illnesses, tonsillitis chronic problems such as eczema, asthma, allergies, constant
coughs and colds emotional problems, hyperactivity, tantrums, bed wetting.
