About Homeopathy
You are unique your symptoms are unique to you. Your constitutional type is what a homeopath uses to locate the most appropriate homeopathic remedy to match your symptom picture not just on a physical level but also a mental and emotional level.
Consitutional prescriptions are used to support the body as a whole. The basic premise of homeopathy is that the symptom, unless the result of an accident/intervention, is a representation of the disease and not the disease itself. Homeopathy does not treat diseases. Symptoms are manifested by the whole body. If the body is displaying symptoms of disease or illness, it is the body as a whole that is not well. These symptoms are there to help the homeopath formulate a map of the disease state.
The homeopath will systematically note all the symptoms expressed by the body as a whole, physical and emotional. They will also require your family history of disease, vaccination history, your personality traits and character, your preferred diet, dreams, fears and phobias. This is an important part of understanding the fuller picture of your health and well being and is required to assess your case correctly. They will consider this information fully before prescribing. They will discuss your treatment plan and how you can best work together.
Under allopathic medicine, drugs are prescribed for the specific symptom in isolation to everything else. This can be successful in the removal of the problem but will often contribute to unwanted side effects, such as poor digestion, depression and exhaustion. Under homeopathic treatment the prescription is targeted to the symptom and everything associated with the problem. The effects of the prescribed remedy act on the central nervous system to bring about dynamic changes in the whole system in a beneficial way. Not only does your presenting symptom disappear but you are then more capable of shifting perspectives as you experience the ease of symptoms. Thereby allowing you to make choices to feel more In control of your health.
Homeopathic remedies are derived from animal mineral and vegetable sources. The active ingrediants are diluted in alcohol to create a tincture then diluted in water bewteen 10 and hundreds of times. It is then added to tiny sugar tablets/liquid. Homoepathic remedies aid your immune system to counteract any illness your body maybe suffering with; thereby increasing your general level of health.
Homeopathy is based on like cures like for example in cases of streaming eyes and nose during a cold/flu a drug prescribed by the G.P. to dry up the mucosal lining can sometimes cause unwanted side effects such as disruption in sleep or palpitations. In homeopathy a minute dose of a substance such as onion may be prescribed which in healthy people in its natural form causes streaming eyes and runny nose. This remedy ‘allum cepa’ is very effective in easing the symptoms of onset of flu and colds in a natural way. Enabling the individual to better cope with their illness without putting excess demand on their system.
