Homepathic & Botanical Therapy

Homeopathic Therapy

A system of alternative medicine developed in the late 18th century by German physician Samuel Hahnemann. It is based on a holistic approach to health, treating the "whole person" rather than just the symptoms of a disease, using highly diluted natural substances to stimulate the body's self-healing mechanisms. 

Core Principles of Homeopathy

Homeopathic therapy is guided by two main, unconventional principles: 

• "Like Cures Like" (Law of Similars): This theory suggests that a substance that causes specific symptoms in a healthy person can, when given in a highly diluted form, treat similar symptoms in a sick person.

• "Law of Minimum Dose" (Law of Infinitesimals): This belief states that the lower the dose of the medication, the greater its effectiveness. Remedies are prepared through a process of "potentization" (serial dilution and succussion/shaking), often to a point where none of the original substance remains. 

What Conditions Are Treated?

Homeopaths claim to treat a wide range of acute and chronic conditions, including: 

• Allergies, asthma, and hay fever

• Skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis

• Mental health issues, including anxiety and depression

• Musculoskeletal pain, headaches, and migraines

• Digestive issues like irritable bowel syndrome
