Homoeopathy

Homoeopathy is a non-invasive and effective system of medicine developed over two hundred years ago, by Dr Samuel Hahnemann. Minute doses of substances are used on the principle of like cures like to stimulate the body’s own healing mechanism and bring it back into a state of balance.

A practical example of this is the onion from which the homoeopathic remedy Allium Cepa is made. Someone peeling an onion will exhibit various irritating symptoms, such as hot, itchy, weeping eyes and a streaming nose. These same symptoms in a hay fever sufferer can be treated by Allium Cepa, the homoeopathic equivalent.

In other words, the symptoms manifested by a healthy person can, in a sick person, possibly be cured by the same substance but in dilute, homoeopathic dosage.
