What is homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a natural form of medicine that uses highly diluted substances to stimulate the body's own healing mechanisms.
How are remedies made?
Homeopathic remedies are made by repeatedly diluting and shaking (succussing) a substance — a process known as potentization.
How is homeopathy different from conventional medicine?
Homeopathy treats the individual as a whole, focusing on the root cause rather than just the symptoms.
What conditions can be treated with homeopathy?
A wide range of concerns, including chronic illnesses, acute ailments and emotional complaints. See the areas-of-focus pages for examples.
What are the fees for a consultation?
Chronic cases require a full case-taking. Please see the Appointments & Rates page for detailed pricing.
What happens during a consultation?
A detailed case history — physical, emotional and mental symptoms — to find the most suitable remedy or remedies for you.
Are homeopathic remedies safe?
Yes. Homeopathic remedies are non-toxic and do not have the same kind of side effects as pharmaceuticals. They are safe for people and animals of all ages, even during pregnancy.
Can homeopathy be used alongside conventional treatments?
Yes. Please note any current medications on your intake form so they can be taken into account.
How long does it take to see results?
It varies by individual and concern. Some people notice improvement quickly, while for others it takes longer.
