About homeopathy

A holistic and individualised approach

Homeopathy is often used as a complementary approach alongside conventional medical care where appropriate.

Understanding homeopathy

Looking beyond individual symptoms.

Homeopathic remedies are derived from substances found in nature and are prepared through a process known as potentisation.

Homeopathic practice is based on the principle of “like cures like”, whereby a substance capable of producing certain symptoms in a healthy person may, when prepared as a homeopathic remedy, be selected to support someone experiencing similar symptoms.

Remedies are typically prescribed in highly diluted forms and are generally considered to be well tolerated.

Core principles

Treatment tailored to the whole person.

Homeopathy considers the individual's overall pattern of symptoms, experiences and wellbeing rather than focusing solely on a diagnosis.

01

Individualised care

Treatment is selected according to the person's unique pattern of symptoms and circumstances.

02

Whole-person perspective

Physical, emotional and psychological aspects of health and wellbeing are considered together.

03

Complementary approach

Depending on individual circumstances, homeopathy may be used alongside conventional medical treatment.

How homeopathy is used

Supporting a wide range of health concerns.

Rather than focusing solely on the suppression of symptoms, homeopathy aims to support the body's inherent capacity for healing by taking account of the individual's broader pattern of symptoms and experiences.

Homeopathy is used by many people for a range of acute and chronic conditions. It is commonly sought for self-limiting ailments such as colds, coughs, minor injuries, cuts and sprains, as well as for longer-term health concerns.

Depending on individual circumstances, it may be used either as a standalone approach or alongside conventional medical care as part of an integrated care plan.
