Homeopathy
Homeopathic Consultation Is Whole Person Centred
Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a form of medicine obtained from mostly plant, mineral and animal sources and can treat both acute and chronic conditions. It has been around for over 200 years and is used in many countries world-wide. Homeopathy is based on the principle of like cures like. For example, a patient suffering from hay fever may benefit from the homeopathic remedy allium cepa (onion) as it produces similar symptoms such as watery eyes or runny nose in a healthy individual. Homeopathic medicines are ultra-high dilutions of a substance, designed to stimulate the body’s healing ability. Homeopathy can be used alongside conventional medication. The homeopathic prescription is based on the totality of information obtained during the whole person-centred consultation. Homeopathy is safe and can be used in all age groups.

The Homeopathic Consultation is whole person centred
A homeopathic consultation takes around one hour and is whole person centred. It takes into account a detailed description of your present symptoms and how this affects you in everyday life, past medical history, family history, allergic history, conventional medication, social history, diet and lifestyle, mental health and well-being. The aim of the consultation is to prescribe if appropriate a homeopathic remedy based on the totality of symptoms. Most patients seeking homeopathy have chronic symptoms. The patient is then followed up usually 6 to 8 weeks after the initial appointment. Homeopathy can be used alongside conventional medicine. Dietary and lifestyle advice can also be incorporated into the consultation at the appropriate stage for the patient and condition.
