Homoeopathy works by matching the symptom picture of a remedy with the symptom picture of the patient like cures like as Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of Homoeopathy, described it. Everything that happens in the consultation is absolutely confidential, and information is never disclosed to anyone unless the patient gives permission. Homoeopathic remedies Homoeopathic remedies are mainly made from natural products from the mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms. In the case of remedies made from animal sources this is usually from the venom, or from part of a single specimen of the species. The mother tincture then undergoes a repeated process of dilution and succussion, known as potentization, which allows even poisonous substances such as Arsenic to become harmless, and which enhances the medicinal properties of the remedy.
Homoeopathic remedies are safe for use during pregnancy and by babies and children.
Homoeopathic remedies will not interfere with any orthodox medication you may be taking. Conventional medication may, however, interfere with the action of Homoeopathic remedies. Remedies are usually given in the form of a sugar pillule, which is allowed to dissolve in the mouth, but may also be given in tablet or liquid form. Precise directions for taking remedies are given at each consultation. Remedies should never be touched by hand.
