The basic principles (in plain language)
Homeopathy looks beyond the disease label. Instead of prescribing for “migraine” or “eczema” alone, a practitioner matches a remedy to the whole symptom picture — how the pain feels, what makes it better or worse, sleep and appetite patterns, and even mood. Remedies are highly diluted substances prepared through a process called potentisation.
How homeopathy differs from herbal & conventional medicine
Herbal medicine uses plant extracts and is often dosed for direct pharmacological effect. Conventional medicine tends to target specific pathways or symptoms. Homeopathy uses highly diluted substances to encourage a self-regulating response. It is safe, non-toxic in usual doses, and often used alongside other treatments.
Who usually benefits?
People with chronic conditions (allergies, irritable bowel, migraines), stress-related complaints (insomnia, anxiety), and many acute conditions (minor injuries, colds) often notice improvements. Because treatment is personalised, it’s useful for complex or multi-system problems.
What happens at the first consultation?
Expect a detailed conversation. A good homeopathic consultation asks about your medical history, current symptoms, emotional state, sleep, appetite and even life circumstances. This helps the practitioner choose the best remedy and a follow-up plan.
