What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a system of holistic medicine founded by physician and chemist Dr. Samuel Hahnemann over two hundred years ago. Homeopathy is an alternative medical system in which extremely dilute amounts of specific natural substances are used to treat various ailments.
The holistic nature of homeopathy means each person is treated as a unique individual and their body, mind, spirit and emotions are all considered in the management and prevention of disease. It is a safe, non-addictive and non-toxic, curative system of treatment. Taking all these factors into account a homeopath will select the most appropriate medicine based on the individual’s specific symptoms and personal level of health to stimulate their own healing ability.
