HOMEOPATHY - Lyssa Clayton
Homeopathy is a system of complementary, natural and energetic medicine. It uses remedies as a gentle stimulus to your body for self-healing.
The remedies come from a range of sources in nature and the world around us: from many different plants, minerals, animals and elements, all kinds of interesting things.
Homeopathy is a system of complementary, natural and energetic medicine. We use remedies as a gentle stimulus to your body for self-healing. The word Homeopathy (Homoeopathy) comes from two Greek words, 'homoios' and 'pathos' meaning 'similar suffering'. One of the fundamental Homeopathic principles is 'Like cures like' or the Law of Similars. This idea dates back to Hippocrates (c.460-370BC) and was used in Ancient Eygyptian and Greek medicine. It means if a substance can make you ill in large amounts, then smaller, specially-prepared doses, can help you get well.
For example:
Coffee is a stimulant and can make us more energised, buzzing and stay awake longer. It can also cause insomnia by making us over-excited and wound up. Homeopathically-prepared Coffee is one remedy we could use for sleep problems.
Cutting onions can cause your eyes to stream with watery tears and your nose to feel raw with a burning discharge. You may find it difficult to think or concentrate well – like having a bad cold or some kinds of hay fever. Allium – cepa, or Red Onion, is a remedy that might help you with those symptoms.
Homeopathic remedies are:
- Individually prescribed for you
- Safe
- Gentle
- Sustainable
- Non-toxic
- Not tested on animals
- Friendly for our environment
- Free from side effects
- Can be used alongside any other medications you take
Ideal for anyone to use, including: during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, for babies and children, teens, adults, and as we age and mature into our 90s and beyond.
Homeopaths treat people, not diseases. They find the remedy that matches the pattern of illness and the symptoms you have. Our life events and changes, exposure to bugs and viruses and stress affect our health. We get knocked off balance and become ill differently, so we experience illness and disease in individual ways. Your emotional, mental and physical symptoms are important expressions of your health. Homeopaths are interested in everything.
