Homeopathy is a gentle, non-invasive and amazing system of healing that involves finding balance in your body to facilitate the healing process.  Medicines used are based on substances from the natural world including flora and fauna. They are pleasant tasting and are given in drop doses which makes them especially suited to children, elderly and animals.  The wonderful world of homeopathy is however perfect for adults as well.

Homeopathy is the art and science of "like cures like". Ailments from acute to chronic are suitable for homeopathic use.  A homeopath goes through 4 years of full-time training in order to be able to accurately choose the correct remedy for you however a simple example of "like cures like" is the saying "fighting fire with fire".  When there is a bush fire firemen will backburn in order to stop an uncontrollable fire in it's track.  Our body works in much the same way - we take homeopathic medicines that would cause the same symptoms in a healthy person.  A homeopathic example is when you are stung by a bee you swell up in red lumps.  A remedy has been made out of the bee sting which is called Apis.  Apis is used for swelling that looks the same as a bee sting such as welts, punctures or allergic reactions.  The onion is another remedy that may clearly explain the concept of homeopathy.  When you peel an onion your eyes water profusely.  The onion homeopathic preparation may help afflictions where your eyes are continuously watering such as when you have an allergy.

The homeopathic consultation is unlike any that you may have experienced before.  The homeopath will try to determine the underlying cause of your problems, eg. your tendency to get a rash after being disappointed.  Investigating and treating a health problem holistically will help to alleviate not just that problem but the predisposition to react to particularly situations through changes in your health.  This is called a constitutional remedy.

A Homeopathic First Aid Kit can be a wonderful addition to your family home.  Remedies such as Arnica can quickly heal a bruise or Apis for bites and stings.
