The word ‘homeopathy’ is derived from the Greek 'homœos,' meaning similar, and 'pathos,' meaning suffering or disease. This name reflects its fundamental principle: 'like cures like'. In other words, homeopathy cures symptoms of all kinds with minute amounts of a substance that would produce those same symptoms if given to a healthy person in its original form.What Conditions Can it Help?
Virtually any physical or emotional, short-term or long-standing complaint! This includes first aid and emergency situations and any condition that doesn't respond well to ordinary medicine, including debilitating, chronic ill-health.
A homeopathic practitioner takes into account characteristics of the whole person to arrive at an individualised prescription
This means homeopathy can be used where people have a collection of apparently unrelated symptoms, or simply because they just 'don't feel well'. Homeopathic remedies can also be used to ease the transition of the terminally ill. Often, a formal diagnosis of a condition can be helpful, but because homeopathy takes your symptoms and their cause/s into account, labelling your complaint is not always necessary. This explains why homeopathy so often helps those conditions that conventional medicine either suppresses or doesn't really touch.
What Benefits can be Expected?
You don't necessarily have to be ill to benefit from a homeopathic consultation. Homœopathy enables the body to stimulate its own energy to promote good health and well-being. Your immune system receives a boost to enable you to resist illness, your energy levels rise as a result, your quality of sleep improves and you feel rejuvenated, restored and generally in tune with yourself.
Homeopathic remedies can also help to repair any damage which our body has the potential to repair and help restore the balances and mechanisms involved in recovery and health

Homœopathy has been used extensively, effectively and safely for centuries. It was developed to its present form over 200 years ago based upon the similarity healing principle that the ancient Romans and Greeks originally used. Today, people from all walks of life and age groups use and endorse homœopathy, most notably perhaps the British royal family, David Beckham and Tina Turner (see also 'Links' page).
