What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy brings together the whole picture of a person, relating general background to physical, mental and emotional symptoms, and uses this complex picture to determine the best homeopathic remedy to offer help at this time. Homeopathy uses specially prepared highly diluted substances with the aim of triggering the body’s own healing mechanisms.

Homeopathy is based on the principle that “like treats like” – that is, a substance which can cause symptoms when taken in large doses, can be used in small amounts to treat similar symptoms. This principle dates back to Hippocrates (460-377BC) but in its current form, homeopathy has been widely used worldwide for more than 200 years.

Why choose Homeopathy?

We are all different and we can be deeply affected by our experiences in life.  How each one of us responds to situations and ailments can be deeply affected by our physical, mental and emotional symptoms are frequently connected, one leading to another, sometimes almost indiscernibly over a period of time. Bringing together and reflecting on this bigger picture can help to recognise and understand the underlying cause and manage this.

Homeopathy can offer you a clearer understanding of your overall health and a safe way of treating your symptoms.  Homeopathic treatment has an excellent safety record and because homeopathic medicines are non-toxic, they can be used by babies, children and during pregnancy.

What happens during a treatment?

The first consultation will last for 1 to 1/12 hours. This will involve talking about your symptoms, how they affect you and the broadest possible picture of your background.

What is Homeopathy good for?

Homeopathy, by its nature, can be used for a wide range of conditions – physical, mental or emotional.

It can be used in acute situations including, for example , for bumps and bruises, for grief or anxiety, for hormonal imbalances and  in long-standing, chronic health conditions.  Please just call or send a message if you would like to discuss how Homeopathy might help you.

The cost of the initial consultation is £80 (£50 for children). This typically lasts for 1 to 1/12 hours and the cost includes the prescription of a homeopathic remedy.

The cost of subsequent follow-up consultations is £50 (£30 for children) and these typically last for ½ to 1 hour. We would usually suggest a follow-up appointment after around 4-5 weeks. At that point, we will be able to agree together on the need for and frequency of any further appointments.
