Homeopathy

The basic premise behind homeopathy is to ‘treat like with like’. In other words, to cure an ailment, you would administer a small dosage of a substance that would produce the same symptom in a healthy person.Homeopathic medicine was developed in the late 1700’s by a German doctor called Samuel Hahnemann, and is said to work by boosting the immune system of the body and stimulating the natural capacity of the body to heal itself.Homeopathic remedies are plant, mineral or animal extracts which are mixed with alcohol into a tincture and then diluted to varying extents. A mixture that has ‘30c’ potency contains less than one part per million of the original substance!Treatments are very individual, and are used to treat a wide variety of conditions ranging from eczema to chronic fatigue syndrome
