An Introduction…

A German scientist, Dr.Samuel Hahnemann, first demonstrated that homeopathy could be used as a natural method of therapy in the early 19th century. It was found that a substance that produced symptoms of illness in a healthy individual could also produce curative effects in a sick person. He stated that what a substance can cause, it can cure.

He found that the closer the similarity between the physical symptoms of the remedy and the drug picture (the symptoms that the drug produces in a healthy person), the better the healing effect.

When sick, a 'vital force' within the person becomes temporarily unbalanced by the illness; when given the right remedy, this vital force is able to return to a normal healthy state.

This German scientist experimented with many substances to try to remove his patient's symptoms. When experimenting, he diluted the substance and found the effect was more potent and helped the body restore its vital force more efficiently.

The homeopath will examine the patient thoroughly by discussing all the person's symptoms until the right remedy is pinpointed.

Homeopathic remedies are generally side-effect free.
