HOMEOPATHY

Homeopathy is a safe gentle healing system which uses remedies derived from natural substances in order to stimulate the bodies natural healing process. Homeopathy can help with a variety of health conditions both physically and emotionally.

Homeopathy works on the principle that “like cures like.” For example a substance that causes sleeplessness, like coffee, will cure sleeplessness in the remedy made from coffee – Coffea Cruda.

Some of the concepts of homeopathy can be traced to the ancient Greeks but modern day homeopathy was brought to us by German physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in the early 1800´s.

This is a holistic approach to medicine that works by treating the individual as a whole by taking into consideration the person's individual physical and emotional well being. The remedies themselves are essences of natural substances derived from the plant, animal and mineral kingdoms, these are then diluted and potentized in order to create an energetic form of medicine. The remedies are safe, non addictive and have no unpleasant side effects. They can also be used alongside conventional treatments.
