Homeopathy is a system of complementary therapy that has been used worldwide for over 200 years and aims to heal the individual holistically with diluted substances, to trigger natural healing. It is based on the principle of treating like with like. Substances which can cause symptoms in large doses are used in small amounts to heal those symptoms produced in ill-health.

​

A homeopath will take in depth information including details of current illness plus past history, diet, lifestyle and personality. The first consultation lasts an hour, and after the prescription there
will be a half hour follow up to find out what changes have happened.

The number of consultations needed depends on how a person improves after taking the remedy. Ideally, just one remedy taken once would resolve the problem. For chronic problems that have been experienced for a number of  years, it may take several consultations. At the low-cost clinics I have participated in, we asked clients to commit to 4 sessions.
