What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is Greek for 'similar suffering'. It is a 200 year old empirical (based on observation and experiment) therapy developed from a German doctor's experiments in giving diluted medicines which create similar symptoms to the patient's complaint.

How does homeopathy work?
The exact mechanism of action is unknown but the aim of treatment is to trigger the body to counteract the medicine and cancel its own symptoms naturally and gently.
How are remedies made?
The remedies are prepared by a professional homeopathic pharmacy where the original substance is diluted and shaken many times in water and ethanol. Remedies come in the form of pleasant tasting dissolving pills or liquid drops.
What does a homeopath do?
A homeopath notes the symptoms of the body and some personality characteristics; treating the whole person rather than treating the parts separately. There are several thousand homeopathic remedies and up-to-date homeopathic software is used to select a relevant remedy and potency. At the follow-up appointment changes in all symptoms are monitored and the remedy or potency may be adjusted.
