Homoeopathy

Homoeopathy is a powerful, gentle and effective system of health. It works by using natural remedies to stimulate the body's own healing abilities.

The physician Dr Samuel Hahnemann discovered this safe and scientific method in 1796. Yet the basic principles have been in use for thousands of years. Homoeopathy derives from the Greek, 'homios' similar and 'pathos' suffering. Minute doses of substances are used, which if given to a healthy person would cause the same symptoms as those they treat.

To illustrate, Coffea, made from coffee is a good remedy for insomnia where there is creativity, restlessness and nervousness.

Homoeopathy sees your symptoms as a healthy expression of your body's attempts to re-balance itself. These symptoms are the language of the body to explain what is wrong. Homoeopathy is non-invasive and without side effects. It treats from within at the core of the problem in order to cure permanently, rather than by masking symptoms.

You can get rid of symptoms without curing the problem, but treating the problem will stop the symptoms reappearing. If your smoke alarm goes off you can take out the battery and the noise will stop. Putting out the fire would be a much better idea.
