Homeopathy is a natural, gentle and effective system of medicine developed by a German physician over 200 years ago and now practised worldwide. It assists the natural tendency of the body to heal itself and recognises that symptoms of ill health are expressions of disharmony within the whole person and that it is the person who needs treatment not the disease. Remedies work by stimulating the body’s own natural healing mechanism where this healing process has become faulty or blocked. This is very different from conventional Western medicine which tends to address symptoms but does not usually look at why the symptoms manifested in the first place. Medical treatment often suppresses symptoms so that when treatment is withdrawn the symptoms return, whereas homeopathy seeks to resolve the underlying issues and so effect lasting relief. To find the correct remedy the homeopath will conduct an extensive interview with the patient, covering their medical history, family history, emotional state, character traits, etc. as well as the symptoms of the illness that prompted the visit. Remedies are non-addictive and have no side effects, making the treatment particularly helpful for babies, during pregnancy and for the elderly. Sometimes there can be a temporary aggravation of the condition – this is normal and demonstrates that the treatment is working. Homeopathy can be used to treat many physical and mental/emotional disorders, some are mentioned below but this is not an exhaustive list and anyone interested in finding out more is requested to contact the Conscious Health Centre:
