More about Homeopathy
What is Homeopathy?
Generally speaking, homeopathy works on the principle that a substance which can cause a symptom in a healthy person, can treat the same symptom in a sick person (also known as the Law of Similars). This means that we can use a homeopathically prepared remedy made from coffee to treat insomnia, or a remedy made from nettles to treat an itchy skin rash, for example. The remedies act as an energetic stimulus to the individual’s natural healing ability which we call the Vital Force. This then provokes a curative response guiding the body back towards balance.
Scientific Research into Homeopathy
Homeopathy is an old art and a relatively new science. There are many good solid old fashioned clinical trials demonstrating its effectiveness, as well as some fascinating new research into the structure of water molecules showing how water changes depending on what it has been exposed to. This phenomenon known as the 'Memory of Water', and it goes some way towards explaining how highly diluted homeopathic remedies may retain information which the body then responds to.

Homeopathic Remedies can be used in a number of ways:
- Homeopathy can be used as a general constitutional support, or to address specific symptoms
- In my practice I am most commonly consulted for help with hormonal problems, skin conditions, recurring infections, and emotional issues like trauma, anxiety and depression
- Homeopathy can be used to maintain health throughout life
