What is Homoeopathy?
Homoeopathy is a natural system of healing which recognises that we are individuals and react individually to illness.
Homoeopathy is a unique system of treatment for both physical ailments and emotionally based conditions.
Homoeopathy can treat clinically functional and structural manifestations of disease, as well as non specific distubances of body chemistry which may not have been diagnosed as such, but nevertheless cause a great deal of suffering to the individual.
"Let like Be Cured By Like"
Homoeopathy is based on the Law of Similars, that states what a substance can cause, it can cure. This is a natural law observed as far back as 500BC by Hippocrates. The development of this law into a system of therapeutics was achieved over 200 years ago by a German physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. He tested many medicinal substances on healthy people and found that each substance produced a specific set of symptoms. When the same preparation was administered in an extremely small dose to a sick person whose illness produced a similar set of symptoms the illness would then be cured - thus like (medicine) cures like (illness).
