What is Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a primary, holistic and natural health care system. It has been around for more than 200 years and according to the World Health Organisation it is the second largest therapeutic system in the world. As homeopaths we focus on treating the patient as a whole where we not only take into account your physical symptoms but your mental and emotional too, making it a true holistic treatment. This is in line with the World Health Organisation’s definition of health where health is defined as “a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease.”
Homeopathy makes use of homeopathic remedies and herbal products, and we also offer advice of lifestyle, diet and supplementation. We are medically trained and are therefore able to diagnose. That is why it is important that when choosing a homeopath to consult with you choose a fully qualified and registered homeopath that will be able to do that for you. Homeopaths are able to treat any condition whether it is acute or chronic and we treat from paediatrics to geriatrics.
Homeopathic medicine works by stimulating the body’s specific defence mechanisms that are needed to fight off the illness. The medicine stimulates the body to heal itself and therefore is a gentle and safer approach. Homeopathic medications are safe to use and they rarely have side effects.
What we offer
Along with Homeopathy, we offer the following:
Iridology
Iridology is the science of observing, studying and analysing signs in the iris. It is a safe, non-invasive diagnostic aid. It can be used in any health care practice to provide a comprehensive overview of one’s health status. It enables the practitioner to formulate effective, individualised natural treatment plans and sensible wellness support programs.
DNAnalysis
DNAnalysis is an individualised and personalised approach to health by using your genetic profile to guide the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease. By analysing your genes we are better able to understand the functioning of your body and we can offer you a tailored approach to your health through lifestyle, dietary and supplement interventions.
Biopuncture
Biopuncture is a natural injection therapy that involves the subcutaneous or intramuscular injection of homeopathic preparations into areas of acute or chronic pain. This type of therapy is able to stimulate and support the body’s natural healing process.
Ozone Treatment
Ozone treatment is a process where ozone gas is safely administered to stimulate the body’s immune system to treat a wound or disease. It is also able to detoxify the body, build health cells and relieve pain and inflammation. Ozone treatment helps to restore the body to optimal health.
“Homeopathy is one of the few medical specialties which carries no penalties - only benefits.”
