What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a very effective, clinically proven form of medicine that offers relief for a wide range of illness and disease. It works by understanding that the symptoms of ill health are actually signs of the body healing itself. The symptoms are then treated with a homeopathic medicine that stimulates this self-healing. For example a sore throat or a fever indicates that the body is fighting infection; homeopathic medicines are able to boost this self-healing ability to enable full recovery to occur.

Why chose homeopathy?

Most patients we treat come because they have been recommended to us by someone they know and who it has worked for. However, there are many different reasons why they come back, these include -

  • Being actively supported through the process of recovery by a professional who is accessible at all times and who works hard to advance the best health interest of the patient.
  • Being able to use homeopathic medicines alongside prescribed drugs to achieve better outcomes from conventional treatment. • Being treated with medicines that do not have the potential to cause side effects and yet are able to deal with their health problems effectively.
  • Concerns about taking over the counter medicine for acute conditions such as colds, headaches, hangovers, hay fever, coughs, period pains etc. They are able to keep a ‘homeopathic first aid kit’ at home to deal with these problems without needing to use drugs.
  • Treating their children with a form of medicine they know they can trust and that is gentle and effective. And really importantly to know that their homeopath is going to be on the end of the phone to help when their child is ill.
  • Using homeopathy in chronic health conditions to alleviate uncomfortable symptoms. • Wanting to deal with the underlying cause of an illness, rather than masking it with drugs that palliate the problems temporarily but do not address the cause.
  • Wanting a scientifically proven form of medicine. Homeopathy has a substantial base of scientific evidence behind it. For further information please look at www.homeopathy-soh.org/whats-new/research  or www.hpathy.com/homeopathy-scientific-research

Perfect health is more than just being symptom free. The benefits of homeopathy include more that just relief from a particular condition. Patients find that it leads to increased energy levels, better appetite and sleep as well as an enhanced sense of well being.

Homeopathic consultations – Homeopathy is available in the Maidenhead Clinic. Establishing good health involves treating everyone as an individual, so time is taken to listen and understand thoroughly what is happening to each patient. First appointments are therefore an hour and a half long, so a full health history can be taken. This is normally followed up with hour long appointments every four to six weeks until you are well. Once patients are well they usually only need to return occasionally to deal with any issues that may arise in the future.

“Homeopathy is one of the most common complementary therapies used by people with cancer. As with most types of complementary therapy, people use it because it makes them feel better or more in control of their situation. Some people choose homeopathy because it offers a completely different type of treatment compared to conventional medicine”
