Homeopathy can be an effective therapeutic approach for the treatment of a wide range of common ailments, including allergies, colds, coughs, anxiety and muscle aches. Homeopathic medicines act by stimulating the body’s own healing mechanisms.
Homeopathy is a traditional form of medicine, along the same lines as acupuncture and phytotherapy. It draws on the therapeutic power of various natural substances derived from plant, mineral and animal sources.
Homeopathy has been around for over 200 years and today is embraced by more than 400,000 health care professionals and over 400 million patients worldwide.
Helping your body help itself.
Homeopathy is a medical technique that adheres to the Hippocratic tradition and espouses the following principles:
- The individual is seen as a whole person, and both the physical and psychological dimensions are taken into account;
- The environment an individual lives in is recognized as being inextricably linked to his or her health;
- The first rule of therapeutic care is to do no harm and protect the body from unnecessary distress.
Homeopathic medicines support and stimulate the body’s natural repair and defence mechanisms.
