Homoeopathy In My View

Homeopathy is highly effective in treating adults and children with either physical or emotional health problems.

Homeopathy is one of the oldest and most widely used forms of natural medicine, developed over 200 years ago, which uses remedies made from over 3000 plants, minerals and the animal kingdom to provide safe, non-toxic and effective health care. It can increase your vitality and help to keep you healthy so that you are less susceptible to diseases as well as treat illnesses when they arise.


Homeopathy is a holistic medicine; it treats the person as a whole, taking into account their personality and emotional state as well as their physical symptoms. As we know, people are all highly individual, unlike orthodox medicine each homeopathic prescription is carefully matched to the individual person. We do not prescribe according to the illness, "She has tonsilitis" or "He has migraine", we look at the person as a complete unit. No one remedy is indicated for every person withthe same disease, everyone will express their symptoms differently; different people need different remedies.

Homeopathic remedies act upon the body's own energy, which homoeopaths call the vital force, the force or energy responsible for the healthy running of the body and combating disease. Symptoms of illness are an outward expression of an imbalance in the vital force.
The remedies act to speed recovery by stimulating the vital force to bounce back and rid the body of disease.

Like cures like, the law of similars

Dr Samual Hahnemann developed homeopathy about 200 years ago in Germany, he was a chemist and a doctor who had withdrawn from practice after he became disillusioned with the medical procedures of the day. Dr Hahnemann's greatest discovery was 'the law of similars', he had set about to try to discover for himself the relationship between Cinchona, an anti-malarial drug made from the bark of a tree and the disease itself. By taking the drug repeatedly over several days he began to develop the symptoms of malaria, palpitations, trembling, thirst, chills and eventually a numb sensation. This principle is the cornerstone of homeopathy, any substance which, taken in its natural form causes symptoms to appear in a sick person.

Homeopathic remedies are prepared by a sophisticated process of dilution and succussion, after this process there is very little, if any of the original substance left and the remedy takes on the energetic pattern of the substance; therefore homeopathic remedies are completely safe and can be prescribed for everyone.

"The highest ideal of cure is the rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of health, that is the lifting and annihilation of the disease in its entire extent in the shortest, most reliable and least disadvantageous way, according to clearly realisable principles"
(Dr S Hahnemann, Organon of the Medical Art)
