About Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a safe, effective, scientific
system of medicine, which assists the natural tendency
of the body to heal itself. It recognises that all symptoms
of ill health are expressions of disharmony within the
whole person and that it is the patient who needs treatment
and not just the disease, and therefore can be helpful
in all cases of ill health no matter what the diagnosis
The scientific principles and practice of homeopathy
were developed more than 200 years ago by Samuel Hahnemann,
a German doctor. He was the first to introduce the scientific
testing of medicinal substances on healthy people, before
treating the sick. His greatest discovery, however,
was that highly diluted natural substances prepared
through a process called "potentisation" have a profound
healing effect, when used according to the ancient medical
principle of "Like Cures Like".
