Holistic Therapy Products & Practice

The British Royal Family, Mahatma Gandhi, John D. Rockefeller, Sr., Tina Turner, and Yehudi Menuhin don't have much in common, except for the fact that they all have been strong supporters of homeopathic medicine. No claims are being made that homeopathy can cure any medical condition.

What is homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a 'holistic' system of medicine that uses very diluted natural ingredients to help the body to heal itself and to build up its resistance to illness. The central axiom of homeopathy is "like cures like" a principles expounded in the saying "the hair of the dog [that bit you]"

It's approach is to view symptoms of ill health as expressions of inner disharmony, and that it is the patient who needs treatment and not the disease.

The remedies are believed to tackle the cause of someone's illness, rather than merely preventing or reducing the symptoms. Please note that no medical claims are made for homeopathy on this website; it is offered as an approach complementary to orthodox diagnosis and treatment by your own GP or specialist.

Homeopathy is not new, it was known to the ancient Greeks and has been practiced worldwide in it's present form for almost two hundred years. It was developed by Dr Samuel Hahnemann in the 18th century.

Hahnemann decided that the “medicine” required for proper healing must be used in the smallest of quantities. This small quantity was expected to produce least possible excitation of the vital force, while being sufficient to cause gentle, remedial changes to that force. Thus was born his "Law of minimum dose", and this concept lead to the that of potentization; a process in which serial dilutions of the homeopathic remedy along with vigorous shaking (succussion) was expected to increase its efficacy or ‘potency’.
