The word homeopathy is from the Greek meaning "similar suffering or feeling", thus homeopathy treats by way of the use of similars.

Homeopathic medicine is in pill, powder or tincture form and the treatments are called remedies. They work by gently boosting the natural energy of the body and are very safe. There is no danger of addiction or toxicity, so they can be given in pregnancy, and given to babies, infants and children.

At the first consultation your homeopath will ask about your physical and emotional symptoms as well as taking a full medical history. Then she will give you a remedy which matches your symptoms as you experience them, and which also takes account of you as a person.

As with osteopathic treatment, the remedies work by stimulating the body's own healing capacity.
