In much the same way that conventional medicine treats allergies with allergens, or mild forms of viruses inoculate against disease, homeopathy is based on the theory of "like treats like".
A minutely diluted natural substance is prescribed which, if it were given in a full dose, would most likely cause the symptom being treated. This dilution is often in the millionths of a fraction, so there are no potential ill-effects. It works by gently boosting the natural energy of the body, and is completely safe, even for children, pregnant women and sensitive patients.
Benefits of homeopathy
Homeopathy is extremely effective: when taking the correct remedy, the results can be rapid and permanent.
Homeopathy is completely safe: remedies can be taken alongside other medications without producing side effects.
Homeopathy is natural: remedies are based on natural ingredients.
Homeopathy works in harmony with your body: it supports and boosts your immune system, rather than working against it, making the longer-term prognosis more effective.
Homeopathic remedies are not addictive: patients typically stop taking the remedies once the symptoms are relieved.
Homeopathy is holistic: it treats all the symptoms as one, which in practical terms means that it addresses the cause, not the symptoms. This often means that symptoms tackled with homeopathy are far less likely to recur.
