Homeopathy
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine developed over 200 years ago in Germany by physician Samuel Hahnemann. It is based on the principle of 'like cures like' (similia similibus curentur), meaning a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can treat similar symptoms in someone unwell when prepared homeopathically.
Homeopathic remedies are made from natural substances including plants, minerals, and animals through a process of serial dilution and succussion (vigorous shaking). This process, which Hahnemann believed enhanced the 'spirit-like medicinal powers' of substances, creates remedies that work on an energetic or vibrational level rather than a purely physical one.
Homeopathy treats the whole person, addressing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of health. Rather than simply suppressing symptoms, it works with the body's vital force to restore balance and harmony, addressing the root causes of imbalance. The approach recognises that disturbances often begin at the energetic or spiritual level before manifesting physically.
For artists and creatives, homeopathy offers support tailored to the unique demands of creative life, seeking deeper alignment with your creative purpose. A qualified homeopath can select remedies specific to your individual constitution and circumstances.
How It Works
During a consultation, your homeopath takes a comprehensive history, exploring not just your physical symptoms but your emotional state, life experiences, personality traits, and what makes you uniquely you. Homeopathy is profoundly individualised; two people with the same diagnosis may receive entirely different remedies based on their distinct patterns of symptoms and being.
The homeopath selects a remedy that matches your specific energetic signature. This remedy works to remove blockages in your vital force, allowing your body's innate healing capacity to restore balance naturally.
