What is it?

The medicine you are prescribed is produced from plants, minerals and animals and obtained from their natural habitat by licensed laboratories. These are prepared under stringent laboratory, conditions. The quality is assessed and maintained at all levels of production.

How does it work?

 Your prescription is to stimulate your natural healing powers and assist you to overcome your sickness. Specifically stimulating the body's vital force thereby allowing the body to return to its proper function causing the symptoms to disappear.

A consultation with a homoeopath involves taking a very detailed case history, asking you many questions, some of which to you, may not seem connected with the condition for which you seek advice and help. These questions help to seek the root cause of your illness. Then you are prescribed specific medicines usually taken as clear drops under the tongue or small pilules.

What type of conditions can be treated?

Homoeopathic medicine not only treats chronic ills but successfully treats many acute everyday ailments and minor accidents in the Home. Often acute cases respond much quicker to Homoeopathic medicine than orthodox medicine. Again when orthodox, medicine has exhausted its role in chronic conditions, often Homoeopathic medicine can improve the condition substantially. Disorders successfully treated range from infant and children's disorders such as colds and asthma, and to chronic diseases such as arthritis, allergies and skin problems.

From the new born member of the family to great grandparents it provides treatment. Family pets and farm animals respond well to Homoeopathic treatment also.

As with any form of treatment, Homoeopathic medicine has limitations, and here your Health Care Professional will guide you: if a different form of treatment is necessary for your condition you will be advised.

Are there any side-effects?

 Homoeopathic medicines do not produce unwanted side effects. Homoeopathic medicines are not habit-forming.

They are safe in that only minute does of medicine are prescribed, BUT due to the process of 'Homoeopathic potentisation' during production, the latent, inherent therapeutic value of the plant or mineral is released. Although it is a minute dose the power released is sufficient to stimulate the patient to respond positively and favourably. They work gently, often rapidly, on the patient with a curative end result.

This means to you that instead of saying, 'Well, my pain is better, but . . . ', you say, 'I feel so much better' - the total you.

Being treated with Homoeopathy means you are in good company.
