Homeopathy is a system of energetic healing which is safe, gentle and yet powerful, stimulating the body’s natural energy to heal itself. The word literally means ‘same suffering’, and works on a principle of like cures like. A homeopathic remedy is a tiny amount of a substance which in a large dose produces the symptoms which the patient is experiencing.
For example, a bee sting causes heat, throbbing, and swelling. So the remedy made from a bee sting can be used to treat conditions with those symptoms eg (amongst other things) bee stings, some kinds of rheumatism, anaphylactic shock, allergies, ovarian cysts.
Because homeopathic remedies contain no toxins or addictive substances they are safe for babies, nursing and pregnant mothers, and the frail or elderly. They can also be used alongside allopathic medicines where needed.

Homeopathy can treat a huge range of conditions, and because it is a holistic treatment it works at every level- physically and emotionally-to treat the cause, not just the symptoms. People find that their energy levels are improved during the healing process, and that they have an increased sense of well being. I’ve seen amazing results in my practice in all kinds of areas from sports traumas to eating disorders, glue ear to ADHD. A few examples of what may be treated are listed below, but almost any condition can benefit from homeopathic treatment. Acute illness ; vomiting and diarrhoea, flu, measles, coughs Injury; sprains and strains, broken bones, burns, bruising and cuts, nosebleeds, brain damage Post-operative; infection, scarring, swelling, slow healing Pregnancy & post natal; morning sickness, backache, slow labour, delayed labour, breast feeding, mastitis Hormonal; period pains, PMT, menopausal problems Babies; colic, teething, tantrums, problems after vaccination, Nappy rash, growth/development delay Childhood and adolescent social, emotional and learning difficulties; Dyslexia, ADHD, shyness, bullying, epilepsy, grief after family break-up, anxiety, eating disorders, developmental delay, stuttering, fear Emotional problems ; Post traumatic stress, business stress, anger, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, grief, shock Addictions Chronic conditions; rheumatism, sciatica, eczema, asthma, hay fever, heart conditions, cystitis, liver/kidney disease, insomnia, blood pressure, thyroid, migraine, enlarged prostate, back pain

Some people experience almost immediate improvement in their symptoms along with a sense of emotional well being. For others the improvement may be more gradual, with some people experiencing a slight worsening of symptoms before they improve. Eg a fever may rise before it comes down, a rash may emerge more fully before it goes, you may have discharges such as sweating, increased mucous, etc, as your body uses the energy of the remedy to rid itself of toxins.
If your problem is of an emotional nature,you may have vivid dreams, or experience an emotional discharge such as crying.
If you have any anxiety or questions about the process I’m happy to talk to you.
