Are You Homeopathic Curious?
I could bore you with historical facts and figures because Homeopathy has been around for over 200 years, or tell you about Samual Hahnneman, the German creator or even let you know about the homeopathic concept of The Law of Similars dating back to Hippocrates. But what you really want to know if it works and if you should try it.
“It didn’t work for me.”
I hear a lot of people saying they tried homeopathy and it didn’t work. Ok that’s fair. Homeopathy won’t fix every problem but, almost without exception, they tell me they tried something from the health food shop or something a friend gave them. Often, it’s for a chronic issue that they may have had for years. It really should be no surprise that one homeopathic dose of something vaguely matching a single symptom failed to work.
“Why should I see a Homeopath?'“
This is vastly different from how a homeopath, like myself, will work. We ask questions. Lots of questions from what the current concern is to your favourite foods. We want to know if the symptoms are better or worse for warm weather or in the morning. We ask about your childhood and things that drive you bonkers or what soothes you when you are anxious. We seek to find the closest possible remedy that encompasses everything you are telling us. We look for the totality of the case.
Will that, well chosen, remedy fix everything? If this is a chronic condition no. There will be layers that we uncover. Homeopaths are not miracle workers. We are just like other health practitioners in that respect. We don’t deal in magic or spells or cure alls…but it will make some change in your life. Be guided by your practitioner as to what may happen next but if it’s the right remedy you will notice some change. As you keep working with your practitioner you will find that there is sometimes big shifts and other times small shifts as you gradually unravel the health issues that have been plaguing you. This is realistic!
“But can it help me feel better?”
So, in answer to the question will homeopathy work for you? If you consult a professional homeopath, follow the instructions, be on the look out for changes both subtle and big then yes, it is very likely it will work for you! With over 200 years of accumulated knowledge in our hands, thousands of remedies to chose from, research that constantly brings more information to us (yes, there is a lot of research. Here’s a great place to start https://www.hri-research.org/) we have a better chance than ever of bringing your body back into balance and creating ease in your body instead of ‘dis-ease’.
How I work with homeopathy…
On a personal note, in my practice I use a combination of homeopathy, herbs and nutrition (qualifications in all of them) as clients need and want. There are many reasons for why I practice like this, but I find that in chronic and complicated cases a multi modal approach can pull you through the tough times a little bit easier. It supports the homeopathic remedy by removing obstacles. I take a very individualised approach but often with Homeopathy at its core.
If is what you are wanting in your life, then make an appointment here. I work online as well as in the clinic. No, it doesn’t matter that you are taking other medications. I can work around them. No, I won’t tell you to come off them. I will work in with your doctor or other practitioners. Yes, I want to see your blood tests for safety as much as treatment. And yes, I want to know everything so I can get you the best possible treatment plan!
I look forward to seeing you!
