Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine trusted and used by millions of people across the world in acute, systemic and chronic illness.
As homeopaths our approach is highly individualized, meaning many people with the same diagnosis or condition may receive a variety of different medicines based on their unique symptoms. Rather than targeting the condition directly, homeopathy works by stimulating the body's natural healing mechanisms. It seeks to understand and treat the root cause, whether it lies in genetics, lifestyle factors or past experiences or traumas. As homeopaths we use safe medicines with a truly curative approach.
WHAT MAKES HOMEOPATHY DIFFERENT ?
Homeopathy is based on curative principles which guide us as homeopaths to use natural medicines in a gentle and safe way.
Our guiding principle is like cures like - homeopathy stimulates healing responses to diseases by administering substances that mimic the symptoms of those diseases in healthy people. The idea that a substance can be damaging in large amounts, but beneficial in small amounts is not new to science and applied in other areas of medicine.
Entirely individualized, homeopathic treatment in chronic illness looks like several different children coming for treatment of asthma and based on an individual assessment all of them receiving a different prescription.
