Homeopathy differs from conventional medicine in that it is aimed at stimulating your body’s immune system or own natural healing ability, instead of suppressing symptoms.
Homeopathy is a system of medical therapeutics based upon fundamental laws of nature. The rationale behind homeopathy is that “like cures like”. For centuries it has been understood that something that promotes the symptoms of a disease can also cure that disease.
A simple example of this is in the use of homeopathically prepared red onion (Alium Cepa), used in allergies or cold/flu like symptoms that produce runny eyes, runny nose, itching and burning skin- similar to what one experiences when chopping a strong smelling onion! Homeopathic medicines are traditionally referred to as “remedies”.
These remedies are made either from plant, mineral or animal sources and undergo a precise and lengthy process of successive dilution until only a very small amount of the original substance remains. The high dilution ensures that homeopathic remedies can be taken without any risk of drug side effects, and are very safe for children, pregnant and lactating mothers, and patients with chronic conditions. Homeopathy can be safely used at the same time as conventional medicine.
WHY CHOOSE HOMEOPATHY?
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), Homeopathy is the fastest growing form of treatment, as well as the most used form of medicine in the world. It is chosen by a growing number of patients that are concerned about the side effects of prescribed drugs, as well as patients who are interested in maintaining a healthy immune system.
A homeopath can treat a broad scope of many diseases/illness, ailments and conditions- such as common colds and flu, allergies, skin conditions, fertility, stomach bugs, sports injuries, acne, ADD, ADHD, stress management, mild depression, mild anxiety, chronic and recurrent illness, auto immune disease (support), viral support- to name a few.
HEALING THROUGH HOMEOPATHY
True healing is not simply the removal of symptoms in the process of disease and illness, but is rather the removal of the cause of the symptoms.
Homeopathy is popular with patients in South Africa, because it is shown not to only relieve them of their symptoms but to also address the underlying cause of the disease, therefore improving the overall wellbeing of the patient in its entirety. Homeopathy is the medicine of choice for those who wish to regain their health without conventional drugs, or alternatively to those already taking a conventional prescription it offers complementary support and constitutional healing without further drug intake.
Homeopathy treats each patient as an individual, finding the remedy most appropriate to their unique constitution, and picture of illness, disease or condition.
