What is Homeopathy?
Classical Homeopathy is a system of health care that concentrates on supporting the whole person by methods that are specific, gentle and sympathetic to the body's needs. As well as using remedies for first aid and acute situations, homeopathy is particularly effective in managing many long-term health problems. All remedies used are from Helios Pharmacy, London and are non-toxic to the body and have no side effects. They can be safely and effectively used from birth through to the last stages in life.
The Holistic Approach
The homeopathic process begins with an initial in-depth interview lasting between 1-2 hours. Homeopaths are interested in understanding all levels of function: mental, emotional and physical. For example, sustained emotional stress can cause problems in the immune system, difficulty in digestion or sleeping. Conversely, physical problems can result in emotional unrest or anxiety. Generally, all of the presenting symptoms of a person, behavioural tendencies and the person's personality traits are important symptoms in homeopathic analysis.
Each of us experiences episodes of stress that can begin early in life and continue as we grow and develop. Our body devises strategies that enable us to survive. In health, our bodies respond to stress in a variety of mechanisms that maintain a process of continual balance (known as homeostasis). When stress or trauma exceeds the body's ability to respond, the vital force (or internal defence mechanisms) will be unable to neutralise the stress. A variety of chronic symptoms can often be the result - including such diverse conditions as recurrent infections, digestive disturbances, headaches or emotional imbalances such as depression.
In homeopathy, the aim is not just the removal of symptoms but the recognition and removal of the underlying cause of the symptoms.
