HOMOEOPATHY
WHAT
IS IT?
Homoeopathy
uses very dilute preparations of natural herbs and minerals to
trigger the body into an appropriate response to disease. This is
"treating like with like", the opposite approach of
conventional medicine which tries to oppose the symptoms of disease
and over-rides the body's own defences.
WHAT
CAN IT HELP?
Migraine,
gynaecological problems, immune deficiency, emotional problems
(depression, anxiety etc), asthma, eczema, arthritis, digestion,
high blood pressure and hay fever are a few of the problems relieved
by Homoeopathy.
FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS:
Are
there any side effects?
No, and you cannot become addicted to them. This is because only a
very minute amount of the active ingredient is used.
How
does it work?
Homeopathy works by stimulating the body’s own healing
power.
What
will the treatment be like
? You will be given a remedy in the form of pills, which should
be dissolved under the tongue.
Nothing should be put in the mouth for 20 minutes before or
after including toothpaste and cigarettes.
No strong substance should be taken whilst having
homoeopathic treatment such as coffee or peppermint because they
will spoil the effect of the remedies.
Can
I take the remedies with prescribed medicine
? Yes, they won’t
interfere with conventional drugs.
How
quickly will I be cured? A very slowly developing complaint such as an ulcer will not
disappear overnight, but other complaints can get better quickly.
