Homeopathy (or Homoeopathy) is a 200-year-old form of German medicine founded by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann.

It stimulate the body’s own healing response to disease, using specially prepared, highly potentized preparations.

Homeopaths aim to treat the whole person, taking into account personality, lifestyle and hereditary factors, as well as the history of the disease. Since all people are unique, homeopathic medicines are prescribed to treat individuals.

To determine a treatment plan for a person, a Homoeopath will consider all of the person’s symptoms (physical, mental or emotional) and identify the remedy that is capable of producing in a healthy person, symptoms most ‘like’ the symptoms the person is suffering from. Homeopathic medicines can be in the form of liquid, granules, powder or tablets. Your practitioner might also advise general lifestyle and dietary changes as part of a treatment plan.

Homeopathy is generally considered safe since it does not have any adverse effects on other parts of the body and hence, is quite sought after for curative as well as palliative treatments.
