Homeopathy was developed over 200 years ago by German physician Samuel Hahnemann, based on principles going back hundreds of years to the likes of Paracelsus & Hippocrates.

The practice of homeopathy is based on the Law of Similars, which means that a substance which can cause symptoms when taken in large doses by healthy people, will cure similar symptoms if taken in minute doses by sick people. The smallness of the dose is very important, and the second rule of homeopathy is known as the Minimum Dose. Extreme dilution and succussion (or shaking) enhances the medicine's curative properties, and all undesirable side-effects are lost.

For example, Allium Cepa is made from the onion, and is used in homeopathic potency to treat colds & hayfever which present with runny noses, itchy, watery eyes, discharges that burn & irritate the skin and a lot of sneezing, the very symptoms you may develop when peeling & chopping onions!

Homeopathy treats the whole person, not just the symptoms. There are over 3000 different homeopathic remedies, so we as homeopaths need to know as much as possible about you, in order to prescribe the correct homeopathic remedy for you. Disease is the disturbance of the vitality of the whole person, which can be expressed on any level - mental, physical, emotional or spiritual. It is the patient who requires treatment, not the symptoms, and homeopathy treats the whole person on all levels, not just the visible ones (i.e. the symptoms).

For example, two people with Arthritis may have been labelled with the same disease, but their symptoms may differ dramatically, and we believe that the treatment should differ accordingly. Some arthritis pains get much worse in cold, damp weather, which causes stiffness & discomfort, but another person's pains may feel worse in the heat of summer, as it increases the inflammation in their joints. There is no point giving both these people the same treatment. Homeopaths give individualised treatments for individual patients.

Instead of giving drugs to mask the symptoms of disease (e.g. painkillers, which by masking pain can actually encourage the sufferer to do themselves more damage, as they cannot hear their body telling them to stop the self-destruction), homeopathy aims to stimulate the body's own healing forces (the Vital Force) to combat the deep-seated causes, with one remedy for all symptoms, in the minimum number of doses. As a result the symptoms will disappear.

If you have a chronic, deep seated or long-term illness we strongly advise you seek the help of a fully qualified and experienced homeopath. Contact Us. Clinics.

In the case of acute illness (e.g. chicken pox, fevers, colds, digestive upsets), a limited number of homeopathic remedies appear to work best. These are known as "specific remedies", and make prescribing in these instances easier for the "novice." With accurate information and advice on choosing the correct remedy, most people can easily treat themselves and their family during minor complaints. For this reason we have used our experience to create a number of Homeopathic First Aid Kits for use at home, in the workplace and whilst travelling. Visit the online store.

Homeopathic remedies are safe, non-toxic, non-addictive & pleasant to take. They will not interact with any other medicines you may be taking, and they will not produce side-effects. This makes the practice of homeopathy safe for everyone, from babies to geriatrics, including pregnant & nursing mothers.

This means that with the right guidance, anyone can use homeopathic remedies to treat minor ailments. Free Spirit Remedy Homeopathy Kits provide the remedies and the guidance to enable you to treat yourself and your family in safety and confidence. Visit the online store.
