Introduction

Homoeopathy works by treating the whole person, not the disease, helping your body to cure itself. In this way it can successfully treat a very wide range of complaints.

Homoeopathic remedies, prescribed properly are safe and beneficial for everyone including babies, pregnant women and the elderly. Homoeopathy is holistic, it takes into account the whole person, all physical symptoms, mental and emotional characteristics, likes and dislikes, family medical history and much more. In this way the practitioner builds a picture of you as an individual.

After careful analysis and research a single remedy is chosen from thousands to match your intricate state as closely as possible. Remedies are made by highly diluting natural substances of plant, mineral and animal origin.

At follow-up appointments any and all changes you have experienced are reviewed in detail so that continued, permanent improvement can be reached.

Homoeopathy is commonly used for a number of complaints including:

Asthma, eczema, psoriasis and other skin problems, allergies, hay fever, IBS and other digestive complaints, arthritis, recurrent infections, thyroid disorders, menstrual and menopausal problems, migraines and infertility.

Homoeopathy is also great for first aid and short-term problems such as:

Colds and flus, coughs, hangovers, bruises, burns, injuries and traumas, sports injuries, slow healing, stings, bites and infections for example tonsillitis, cystitis, conjunctivitis and more.

Stress is another major area where homoeopathy is of particular value for example with:

Anxiety, anger, depression, grief, nervousness & phobias (e.g. flying, heights etc), insomnia, low self-confidence, trauma and more. In children it is also used for ADHD, behavioural problems, autism and learning difficulties.

Homoeopathy is a great method of preventative healthcare to promote and maintain a healthy balance on all levels. You regularly MOT and service your car to ensure it keeps running smoothly, why not your body? You don't have to wait until something goes wrong.

"It is health that is the real wealth."

Homoeopathy for stress

Stress is one of my favourite complaints to treat. Who doesn't suffer from stress? However, it is a very vague term that covers a wide range of problems. Every single person experiences and deals with stress in a different way.

Homoeopathy can have amazing success with treating stress in a way that many other treatments cannot.

When you realise how many problems are aggravated or caused by stress you can begin to see why homoeopathy is so versatile.

It is very rewarding to watch homoeopathy help cure a person of their physical symptoms and to see them become a happier, more contented individual. It is even better to experience this change for yourself.

Homoeopathy can help to treat: anxiety, childhood behavioural problems, confusion, depression, eating disorders, exam stress, fatigue, financial anxieties, health anxieties, insecurities, irritability, marital problems, memory problems, nervousness, phobias, PMT, post-traumatic stress disorder, problems arising from abuse, sexual issues, work stress.

Homoeopathy for Men

Men are becoming more aware of the importance of looking after themselves. In the past it has often been the masculine attitude, "if it aint broke don't fix it". Nowadays men are more open to preventative healthcare, correct diet, moderate exercise and generally taking care of themselves.

Men are more likely to suffer from substance dependency, heart problems and liver disease. While homoeopathy is effective in these cases it is important to seek advice long before they become an issue.

Many men find it difficult to express their discomfort or may feel embarrassed about seeking help. Taking action when you first notice the initial signs of a problem can prevent it developing further.

Homoeopathy is effective in: Stress, anxiety, depression, skin disorders, erectile dysfunction, prostate problems, high blood pressure, fatigue, irritability and infertility.

Homoeopathy for menopause and menstrual problems

The conventional view of menopause is that it is an illness that needs to be treated. HRT replaces the "lost" hormones using creams, patches etc. Many women want more natural methods for treating the transition, which is where homoeopathy comes in.

Homoeopathy is safe and effective and can be used in conjunction with other conventional treatments.

Homoeopathy sees the menopause as an important and natural progression that all women must take. Due to imbalances of lifestyle this transition can be problematic. Homoeopathy aims to address the imbalance in order to affect menopausal symptoms.

Homoeopathy is used to treat hot flushes, mood swings, skin complaints, gynaecological symptoms, headaches and can help prevent osteoporosis.

Cramps, mood swings, swollen breasts, water retention, migraines and backache are just a small number of symptoms that thousands of women put up with on a monthly basis. Some might think that it is just part and parcel of being a woman, but homoeopathy considers all of these things to be symptoms of an underlying imbalance that can be treated. You don't need to suffer, homoeopathy is great for all the little problems that you ignore on a regular basis.

Homoeopathy for Pregnancy and Infants

Homoeopathy is a gentle, natural therapy which makes it great during pregnancy and for babies. Many women seek out homoeopathy during this time for treating problems they do not need to live with, for example morning sickness, high blood pressure, varicose veins or haemorrhoids. Some also turn to homoeopathy because they are concerned about side effects from conventional medicine. Homoeopathy stimulates your body to heal itself, leaving no side effects and allowing it to be used alongside other treatments.

Homoeopathy is safe for your growing baby. Remedies are so dilute that none of the original material remains.

By staying as healthy as you can be during pregnancy and childbirth you can give your baby the best start.

Homoeopathy can help with problems during labour including breach position, cervix slow to dilate, pain, excessive bleeding, retained placenta and more.

If you are considering seeking homoeopathy during childbirth it is important to contact me as early as possible. Treatment during pregnancy can help to improve the birth as well as giving you the chance to attend a "Homoeopathy in Childbirth" workshop beforehand.

After the birth, homoeopathy can help to speed up healing, giving you more quality time with your baby. It can also help after difficult births, emergency caesareans, breast-feeding problems and post-natal depression. Babies respond well and quickly to homoeopathy especially in cases of colic, teething, nappy rash, whooping cough and much more.

Homoeopathy for Children

Homoeopathy is well suited to children and can be seen to have great results with them. It often works very quickly with children, as they are usually very full of vitality. Remedies are easy to give to children as they come in the form of sugar pills or flavourless liquids, perfect for all ages.

Homoeopathic remedies, prescribed properly are safe for all.

Homoeopathy is a good preventative measure and can give kids a boost at a time they most need it. In this way you can avoid the use of antibiotics, steroids and antihistamines where possible.

Homoeopathy is great for asthma, eczema, glandular fever, hay fever, behavioural problems, ear infections, tonsillitis, flu, coughs and colds.

Homoeopathy can help with any after effects of vaccination as well as improving overall natural immunity.

Homoeopathy in Sports

Homoeopathy can help in physical training to improve healing and general health levels where the body is under increased stress. It works well alongside other physical treatments to accelerate recovery.

Homoeopathy is used for: back problems, broken bones and fractures, bruises, cuts and scrapes, dislocations, increasing stamina and endurance, joint complaints, nerve damage, shin splints, sprains, strained muscles, torn ligaments and many more.

Homoeopathic remedies work by stimulating the body's natural healing abilities, they contain no medicinal or prohibited substances and can be used as part of your regular training programme for overall health.
