Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a holistic therapy which means it treats the whole person. It can help with ailments on any level – be that physical health, mental health, emotional health or spiritual health.

Treatment can help conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, PMS menopausal symptoms etc. The remedies are safe, gentle and effective and can be used to treat the whole family

Homeopathy works by stimulating your body’s ability to treat itself. It can do this without harmful side effects or a requirement to take a remedy for the rest of your life. As homeopathy treats the person rather than the disease ANY ailment has the possibility of cure.

Treatment involves filling in a detailed questionnaire before your visit. During the consultation I will ask you to tell me about yourself including your needs, worries and concerns. Treatment for children involves observing your child and discussing their likes and dislikes with them or you (depending on the age of the child). This information enables me to select the remedies that are most suitable for you at this time. The first session last for about an hour.

Remedies are usually in tablet form, sometimes there will only be one or two pills or I may prescribe a liquid to be taken daily. Remedies may be made of plants, minerals etc

Homeopathy is however, rarely a one off treatment – expect to have 5-6 visits possibly for longer for more longstanding ailments.

People usually start to feel better in themselves quite quickly as ailments start to decrease in intensity and frequency. Like any treatment however, there is no guarantee of success for everyone, however my success rate is around 80%.
