A little bit about Homeopathy

Homeopathy uses natural medicines to stimulate a healing response in the individual, therefore working with the intelligence of the body to relieve symptoms and heal.

The active ingredients in homeopathic medicines are made from diluted extracts of plants, animals, minerals, or other raw substances found in nature. Due to the fact that the raw materials are diluted means it a very safe and non-toxic method of medical treatment.

Homeopathy derives from the Greek words homeo, meaning “similar,” and pathos, meaning “suffering” (such as the pathology of a disease). Homeopathy operates on a “like cures like” principle that has been used empirically for more than 200 years with millions of people using it worldwide today.

Like other over-the-counter medicines, we use Homeopathy to relieve symptoms of a wide range of common health conditions such as allergies, coughs, colds, flu, teething, stress, aches and pains, as well as all sorts of chronic conditions.

We use these natural medicines in ways that not only treat the symptoms but also heal at a deeper level – underlying causes. For example, if we treat digestive disturbances with an anti-acid, we may get immediate relief in the short term but what are the long-term effects of the medicine (there are side effects) and we have effectively ignored the cause – possibly a diet or lifestyle that is actually ‘bad for our health’.

Using Homeopathy to treat and manage the normal childhood illnesses allows the immune systems to fully develop, so that we can thrive as adults.
