Homeopathic Natural Remedies

Homeopathic natural remedies recognizes that symptoms of ill health are expressions of disharmony within the whole person. Thus homeopaths do not treat physical, emotional and mental illnesses separately, but regard them as intimately connected. The common questions below explain the principles behind this holistic health system.

How does homeopathic natural remedies work? 

Homeopathy will not just drive away the symptoms but also help patients deal with the cause of the illness. Prescriptions, taking into account each patient’s unique personality, are written for the individual patient not merely for the disease. This explains why two patients with apparently similar illnesses may be treated with a different remedy. Homeopaths aim to reduce their patient’s dependence on medication and ideally, help them reach a level of health where they are no longer dependent on any remedies. 

What are homeopathic natural remedies made from? 

Most are derived from plant, but minerals and metals which have been used medicinally for generations are also used. Homeopathic remedies are tested on people, not animals. 

Is it safe for both children and adults? 

The remedies do not cause side effects and neither can you become addicted to them. In homeopathy, it is the body’s energy, which is influenced rather than its chemical balance. Homeopathic medicines act as catalysts, assisting the body’s self-healing powers. They are extremely gentle: respecting and preserving the intricate mechanisms of the human system. Even babies can have them without any problems. 

What are some of the disorders that homeopathic natural remedies can help with? 

Homeopathy works on all kinds of disorders ranging from simple coughs, sprains to rheumatism, eczema, asthma, allergies, migraines and so on. It can correct small imbalances long before the appearance of the more serious symptoms. Patients report feeling unwell but conventional diagnosis reveals nothing. However, homeopathy recognizes the sensations felt by the patient and takes these into consideration in treatment. People who have had homeopathic treatment generally find that their state of health does improve and they are better able to resist infections. 

How often should one go for treatment? 

That depends upon the ailment. Classical homeopaths carry out an initial detailed interview and generally see the patient at four to six week intervals. Once the improvement is significant, follow-ups are needed less often, perhaps just once a year.
