| Homoeopathy is a natural healing process in which the Homoeopathic remedies assist the patient to regain health by stimulating the body's own natural healing forces. Homoeopathy, therefore, treats you as a whole person, and not just as a patient with an illness. |

| What is Homoeopathy? |
| Homoeopathy as commonly practiced, was first established by Samuel Hahnemann in the 1820's. The term 'Homoeopathy', was coined by Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) from the Greek Word, homoio meaning similar and pathos meaning suffering. Just as an astronomer uses a telescope to view the mysteries of deep space, the homoeopath uses the vitalist principles to look deeply into the phenomena of disease and cure. |
| How it Works: |
| Homoeopathy is based on the principle of treating 'like with like'. An Homoeopathic remedy that would cause an healthy person to develope the particular symptoms you have, would be used to stimulate your own body's healing powers. In prescribing the right remedy for you, many factors that are unique to you, are taken into account; not only your medical history, but your personality, preferences and what worsens or eases your complaint, for example. |

| Homoeopathy can be used in the treatment of all kinds of conditions either on its own or if necessary, in conjunction with conventional medicine. |
| In chronic diseases, Homoeopathic treatment can often achieve results which would seem impossible with orthodox treatment. |
| At its deepest level, Homoeopathy is preventative medicine, strengthening your ability to withstand disease. |
