The highest ideal of cure is rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of health.
Samuel Hahnemann
Homeo history
Homeopathy has been around for over 200 years, though the principle of 'Like Cures Like' dates back to Hippocrates.
It was discovered and developed by a physician called Samuel Hahnemann.
Homeopathic philosophy (much like Ayuverdic and Chinese Traditional Medicine) bases itself on the belief that restoring wellbeing needs a holistic approach.
Remedy Pictures
Every remedy has a 'picture' which covers a wide range of symptoms or tendencies. Remedy pictures cover all aspects of a person.
In Homeopathy, we have hundreds of remedies that could be used to treat, for example, a headache. But not all of them will help everyone.
A Homeopath's job is to best match the picture you are presenting with a well suited remedy.
Your pathway to health
Our bodies know what they need to do to heal.
There is an inner wisdom in all of us but when something is out of balance we lose the ability to tune in.
Homeopathic remedies are like a powerful but gentle force that nudges you back onto the right path.
People who use homeopathic remedies often describe feeling a deep energetic shift.
How Remedies are made
Remedies are made from an array of substances found in the world around us, such as plants and minerals. The materials are first broken down, then diluted and finally shaken to the desired potency.
There are Homeopathic Pharmacies all around the world supplying its 200+ million users. When a new remedy is made there is something called a 'proving' whereby a large group of individuals takes the remedy and records all changes and symptoms. Only the common themes and symptoms are included in the picture.
It's pseudoscience!
It's just a placebo!
There is no evidence!
Research and Clinical Trials
Contrary to the rhetoric of sceptics...
there is, in fact, LOTS of clinical evidence that we can rely on; solid, double blind, clinical trials have been carried out proving that Homeopathy has significantly more efficacy than placebo. A great selection can be found at the Homeopathic Research Institute.
