Homeopathy
Ill health and disease (whether it be physical or mental and emotional) is an indication of imbalance. Homoeopathy aims at helping to redress these imbalances gently and effectively. Homoeopathic remedies are made from a very wide range of substances many of which are toxic in their raw state. The substances go through a process of dilution and succession in order to render them totally safe for everyone from the very young to the very old. Selection of the correct remedy is based on symptoms that the person is producing. The selected remedy must be closely similar in symptom picture. For instance, if Arsenic is swallowed in it’s raw state some of the symptoms produced would be sickness, diarrhoea, thirst, abdominal pain, anxiety, etc., etc. Therefore, Arsenic is a useful remedy in some cases of food poisoning.
CONSULTATIONS
The first consultation usually lasts for one to two hours. Homoeopaths need to build a picture of you as a person therefore questions are asked about your medical history, disease symptoms, food likes and dislikes, emotional symptoms such as what makes you feel happy or sad. It’s also important to find out about things that have affected you personally such as passed grief.
Follow up sessions usually take place around 4 weeks later to check on progress and to see if a change of prescription or perhaps potency is needed.
The number of appointments required depends on a number of factors including, how well you respond, how long you have been affected by and the severity of the condition, external factors that can be a maintaining cause of a condition. Therefore, appointments are made one at a time, block bookings are not appropriate.
