How can homeopathy help?

Because homeopathy treats the person rather than the disease, potentially it can help any illness. People often turn to homeopathy as a last resort, having tried orthodox medicine which has either failed them completely or left them with unpleasant side effects from drugs. Others have suffered symptoms such as fatigue, or aches and pains, for many years, but despite tests and investigations, no diagnosis or cure has been found.

Illnesses commonly seen in clinic include:

Stress-related problems such as palpitations, high blood pressure, insomnia and headaches.

Childhood disturbances such as hyperactivity, nightmares, tantrums, extreme shyness and bedwetting.

Common infections such as bronchitis, flu, glandular fever, tonsillitis, cystitis and thrush.

Viral infections such as ME, hepatitis, shingles, herpes, impetigo and warts.

Skin problems such as eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis and acne.

Allergies and asthma, including hay fever, food sensitivities and candida.

Digestive and bowel problems such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, indigestion, gastric ulcer, ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.

Neurological problems such as Multiple Sclerosis and epilepsy.

Hormonal disturbances such as menstrual problems, menopause, infertility, thyroid function and diabetes.

Pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, back pain, anaemia, or a history of problems such as miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.

Migraine and headaches

Injuries and joint troubles such as Repetitive Strain Injury, arthritis, rheumatism and sprains.

Mental health problems such as depression, panic attacks, addictions, phobias, post traumatic stress syndromes and eating disorders.

How long does it take?

This varies depending on the kind of illness you have. It is possible to say that a slowly developing complaint or one that has been experienced for some years will not disappear immediately, although there may be some improvement soon after taking the remedy. In most cases, there will need to be at least three consultations at monthly intervals. Once you are progressing well, appointments can be less frequent.
