Homoeopathy

Homoeopathy is an alternative system of medicine that was founded in the early 19th century by a German physician. It’s a system of medical therapy that concentrates on care of the whole person by methods that are gentle and sympathetic to the body’s needs.

Homoeopathy rests on the principle ‘Like is cured by like’. This means that a disease can be cured by a medicine that is capable of producing symptoms similar to those experienced by the patient in a healthy person. An equally important concept is the use of a minimum dosage. The remedies are made from animal, vegetable and mineral sources. These are diluted to set formulae and the selected potencies are administered by the practitioner in accordance with the patient’s need.
