Homeopathy Natural medicine for harmony and balance As more people turn to wholesome lifestyles, they are also looking for health treatments that are natural, with no side effects. Research has shown an increase in the use of complementary therapies due to their holistic approach to health, nurturing the whole person as opposed to treating isolated symptoms and diseases . Homeopathy is becoming increasingly popular, not only due to the lack of side effects but also due to its efficacy in a whole host of conditions. How it works Homeopathy is a system of medicine that is over 200 years old with its own unique philosophy and principles. Its emphasis is on the treatment of the whole person – mind and body. Along with the person’s mental, emotional and physical health, it also takes into account a person's background, environment, family history and other factors that affect health. Homeopathy works by stimulating the body’s self-healing power and harnessing the person’s energy or vitality to help bring about a cure. It utilises plant, chemical, mineral and other products and is extremely safe with few, if any, side or after effects. It is suited to many health problems. In long standing chronic ailments, it takes a while to rebalance the patient as “layers” of ill health need to be addressed. While some cases may respond to homeopathy after one treatment, many patients need a few sessions before they see a satisfactory outcome. Results vary from individual to indivdual depending on age, severity of the pathology, and long-term medication. Benefits Acute conditions and emergencies –fevers, colds, coughs, injury and trauma.
