Homeopathy:
Homeopathy is a branch of medicine treating illness on
the basis of similarity to the whole health condition of the patient.
Homeopathic Medicines catalyze healing, directing your innate healing
mechanisms along the natural routes the mind and the body uses to
remove disease. Therefore, homeopathy is helpful in all forms of
illness.
The Homeopathic doctor prescribes on the basis of your individual
manifestation of illness, be it an acute flu or a longer standing
arthritis.
Homeopathic medicines are used to treat both acute and chronic illness;
physical, mental and emotional dis-ease. Medicines are safe, non
toxic and may be used by children, Infants and pregnant women and,
may be taken alongside conventional medication.
Homeopathic medicines are simple to take and medication is only
taken whilst needed.
Homeopathic medicines are being used successfully for many illnesses:
- Skin complaints-eczema and psoriasis
- Digestive complaints- heartburn, colic and constipation
- Respiratory complaints-respiratory tract infections, asthma
- Musculoskeletal complaints- arthritis, arthralgias
- Endocrine complaints-hyper/hypo thyroidism, diabetes
- Circulatory- hypertension
- Neurological- chronic headaches including migraines
- Immunological- allergic rhinitis (hay fever), autoimmune
and
HIV supportive therapy
- Psychological and emotional imbalance such as chronic anxiety,
depression, long-standing grief or insomnia
Single medicines are prescribed for the entire individual regardless
of the seemingly separate complaints (e.g. insomnia and heartburn).
Homeopathy cannot be used as prophylaxis- meaning that homeopathic
remedies cannot be taken for future possible infections (e.g. travel
to malaria-risk areas). Homeopathic medicines should only be taken
under the supervision of a well qualified homeopath.
Drop in Acute consultations may be made on Thursdays 12h00-14h00
and Fridays 12h00-14h00. No booking required.
The costs for these treatments can be found on our
