Homeopathy has been in world-wide use for over 200 years. Pioneered by a physician and chemist Samuel Hahnemann (1755 - 1843). The origins can however be dated back to Hippocrates.
Homeopaths understand that symptoms of illness are evidence of the body's natural efforts to heal itself, these symptoms are used in the selection of the remedy. |

Homeopathy uses tiny doses of safe, refined substances called remedies which activate the curative process.
A remedy is prescribed for the individual patient, the fundamental principle of Homeopathy is that of the individual prescription. This explains why two patients with similar illness may be treated with a different remedy. Good Homeopathy will not just drive away the symptoms, but help the body deal with the cause of the illness and regain good health. |
