Homoeopathy is a gentle, holistic system of healing that is suitable for everyone--young and old. Homoeopathy focuses on you as an individual, concentrating on treating your specific physical and emotional symptoms, to give long-lasting benefits.
Homoeopathy, a centuries-old system of medicine, stimulates the body to heal itself of physical, emotional, and mental ailments. It uses natural and safe medicines (remedies) made from plant, animal, and mineral substances. The word Homoeopathy means similar disease or like suffering and exemplifies one of its basic principles: The Law of Similars or Like Cures Like. This principle states that if a substance is capable of causing symptoms, it is also capable of relieving those symptoms when it is prepared in the form of a Homoeopathic medicine. A common example is the remedy Allium Cepa, which is made from the onion. We all know what happens to us when we peel an onion: stinging, burning, watery eyes and a runny nose. Allium Cepa is used to treat a condition, like the common cold, that is characterised by stinging, burning, watery eyes and a runny nose.
Homoeopathy, unlike conventional medicine and some other natural therapies, considers a person’s total physical, emotional, and mental picture and thus is truly holistic.
