History
Founded by Samuel Hahneman, a physician and chemist in Germany, in early part 19th Century. It evolved from naturopathic principles:

treat the whole person

Nature heals, providing it is given the opportunity to do so

support the body's own inner healing ability

do no harm

How does Homeopathy differ from NHS medicine?

Homeopathy recognises the body’s innate intelligent self healing mechanism.

Works to strengthen this by using minute doses of individually selected medicines

The individually selected prescription stimulates a healing reaction in the patient

Can be used alongside treatment from your Doctor, there are no contra-indications

What can Homeopathy be used for?

As there are no toxic side effects, It can be used by anyone of any age for most physical, mental and emotional complaints

For feeling ‘run down’, low in energy, lowered immune system functioning

Can support you to recover from specific conditions e.g. Irritable bowel syndrome, joint problems, menstrual disorders, sports injuries, recurrent infections, childhood illness’s and many other conditions by strengthening your innate natural healing ability

Helpful with emotional states such as those arising from bereavement, stress, trauma of any kind e.g. depression and anxiety

is well known for its benefits in treating a whole range of skin conditions

How long does it take?
Improvement can start within minutes of taking the correctly chosen remedy, especially in acute conditions. With more chronic, longer term complaints, such as relapsing infections, sleep difficulties, menstrual disorders, or depression, then a course of treatment is recommended with appointments at 2 - 4 weekly intervals for the first three or four sessions, after which the frequency of appointments will be discussed and decided on the basis of progress.
