What is Homoeopathy?

Homoeopathy has been widely used throughout the world for more than 200 years, but has an honourable tradition dating back to ancient Greece. It was Samuel Hahnemann, a brilliant doctor working in 1796, who developed the scientific and philosophical foundations of this gentle way of healing. These scientific principles form the basis of successful homoeopathic practice today..

Homoeopathy is a system of medicine which is based on treating the individual with highly diluted substances given in liquid or tablet form. These medicines trigger the bodys natural system of healing. It works on the principle of like cures like that is, a substance that would cause symptoms in a healthy person is used to cure those same symptoms in illness.
Scientifically it can not yet be explained precisely how it works, but new theories in quantum physics are going some way towards shedding light on the process. What we do know is that a carefully selected homoeopathic remedy acts as a trigger to the bodys healing processes.Based on symptoms and your history Chris will match you with the most appropriate medicine for your condition

What can homoeopathy treat?

Homoeopathy has a wide application, from acute fevers, sore throats and toothache, to chronic illnesses such as arthritis, eczema, asthma, anxiety, mild depression and chronic fatigue syndrome

What happens when in a homeopathic consultation?

As a Naturopath, Chris understands that establishing good health involves treating both mind and body, so time is taken to listen to your emotional and physical symptoms. To stimulate your bodys own healing process, a remedy closest to your individual symptom picture is prescribed. Healing begins from within your body, strengthening your health and immune system, without any danger of damaging side effects

Are homoeopathic remedies safe?

Homoeopathic remedies are a unique, potentised energy medicine, drawn from the plant, mineral and animal worlds. They are diluted to such a degree that, after the 12c potency, not one molecule of the original substance can be detected. The remedies work vibrationally by gently boosting the natural energy of the body, and are very safe, even for pregnant and sensitive patients. There is no danger of addiction or toxicity

If they are so dilute, how can they work?

After each dilution the mixture is vigorously agitated in a machine that delivers a calibrated amount of shaking. This is called succussion. It is thought that this process imprints a vibrational healing energy (frequency) of the medicinal substance throughout the body of water (the diluent) as if a message is passed on. The message contains the healing energy. Even in ultra-molecular dilutions, information specific to the original dissolved substance remains and can be detected.
