Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Homœopathy Work?Homœopathy enables your body to stimulate its own energy to promote a return to good health and well-being, making use of our own innate healing powers. It is YOU that is the focus of homeopathic treatment, not just a list of symptoms. Conversely, conventional medicine sees peoples' symptoms as direct manifestations of illness and seeks to suppress them.
Homeopathy sees symptoms as our body's reaction against ill-health as it attempts to overcome it and treats the cause of illness
It strengthens each individual (physically, mentally and emotionally), thereby releasing energy and enabling the body to heal itself.
What are Homeopathic Remedies Like?
I usually use little round pillules or soft pellets and sometimes liquids. The base is either milk sugar or sucrose for the pillules or water and/or alcohol (as a preservative) for liquid remedies. I also have a sugar-free alternative. They are easy to take and taste pleasant, and are not at all habit-forming! Children seem to particularly enjoy taking them.
Are They Safe?
ABSOLUTELY! For the physicists amongst you, substances are diluted to beyond Avagadro’s number which explains firstly, why there’s no physical trace of the original substance left and secondly, why it’s completely safe for everybody of all ages and in pregnancy.
Homœopathy works with the energy of the substance and not its physical form"
How Quickly Do Homeopathic Medicines Take To Work?
It depends on the nature of your illness, how long you've had it, your own constitution, and the specific remedy given. In acute cases, relief can often be felt a few minutes after taking the remedy and the first dose can cure the condition completely. Chronic cases take longer to respond and a full course of treatment may take a few months. Homeopathy aims for a rapid, gentle and permanent cure.
