What is homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a system of medicine that helps the body to heal itself. A homeopathic consultation focuses on the whole person, and enables homeopathic medicines to be selected on the basis of all aspects of the patient and his or her symptoms. This means that each treatment – like each person – is unique.
Homeopathy works on the principle of using like to like cure. In other words, it treats with medicine made from a substance that would produce similar symptoms in a healthy person. For example, an onion can cause streaming eyes and a runny nose. A homeopathic medicine derived from onions, Allium cepa, can be chosen for someone suffering from hayfever.
