Homeopathy is a natural and safe form of medicine that works well for anyone, including children and babies. It takes a holistic approach to health, looking at how the whole person is functioning. Homeopathy works by administering small doses of natural substances that match the person’s symptoms, to stimulate the body to heal itself. Homeopathic remedies are individualised to match the person’s needs. The remedies are made either of small sugary pills that dissolve on the tongue or drops.
The name homeopathy was created by its originator Samuel Hahnemann and is derived from the Greek words for ‘similar suffering’ referring to the ‘like cures like’ principle of healing. Homeopathy doesn’t separate the physical, emotional and mental symptoms, but takes the view that they are all interconnected. This is what makes homeopathy a truly holistic and refined art. Homeopathy is a well-regulated and safe form of medicine with little or no side effects. Often people decide to try homeopathy when they feel they want to explore a natural and gentle alternative to drugs.
