Homeopathy
What is Homeopathy
The word homeopathy comes from the language of the ancient Greeks and means similar suffering, perhaps better known as treating like with like.
An example of this is Coffee which contains substances that stimulate the nervous system and can cause sleeplessness if taken near bedtime. However, the homeopathic remedy coffea prepared from coffee has the effect of soothing and relaxing the nerves, promoting peaceful sleep.
The medicines are prepared from natural substances such as plants and minerals, which are then diluted many times. This results in the original substance being “potentised”, which renders it totally harmless and non-toxic, leaving only its curative properties.
For this reason they can be used safely & effectively on children, and during pregnancy.
what can it treat?
Each person has their own innate healing ability. Homeopathic remedies aim to gently stimulate this capacity for self healing and self-renewal by mobilising these natural defences.
Homeopathy can be used to effectively help many different issues in individuals of all ages, including pregnant women and babies. Some of the problems I have treated include…
- Female problems such as endometriosis, PMS and painful periods, infertility, menopausal symptoms & fibroids. It can also help with problems such as nausea during pregnancy and pain relief during child birth.
