The holistic approach to medicine takes a wider view of illness, the causes of disease and the ways in which people express their illness individually.

"Those who merely study and treat the effects of disease are like those who imagine they can drive away the winter by brushing the snow from the door. It is not the snow that causes winter, but the winter that causes the snow." Paracelsus

What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a natural medicine. The remedies, made from natural sources, assist the body to heal itself. Remedies are given in the form of powders, pills or in solution. It has been practised worldwide for the last two hundred years.

How does it work?
Homeopathic remedies trigger your own immune system, enhancing the body's natural healing powers. The homeopath carefully selects the right remedy and dosage for you. This done, your own healing energies will take over. How quickly someone reacts to a remedy varies from person to person, so for some they might sense changes immediately and others might take 3-4 weeks to feel any change.

What can I expect from the consultation?
The first consultation usually takes up to one and a half hours, as it's necessary to get a full picture of the person's background as well as the specific problem. Follow-up visits are generally half-an-hour and the number of sessions required depends on the nature and depth of the illness. The frequency of visits will be about six weekly.

What changes can I expect from the remedy?
Initially there might be some release in the form of a discharge, for example perspiration. This is simply the body's way of eliminating toxins. You might also find old symptoms passing through fleetingly and a lifting in your general energy.

How Homeopathy helps
Homeopathy aims to improve the person's whole level of health. It not only treats specific symptoms, but also improves the person's energy and vitality, reducing their tendency to fall ill. Another benefit is that while people often come along with one problem, homeopathy treats the whole person so that any other small problems clear up too.

Herbs
There are different herbal tinctures from Europe and China that can help with regulating the hormones - to be taken alongside the homeopathic remedies.
