THE MOST COMMON QUESTIONS I GET ASKED IS - WHAT IS HOMEOPATHY??
Homeopathy, is a system of medicine that embraces a holistic, natural approach to individuals who are unwell. It celebrates your uniqueness and individuality, taking into account not just your symptoms but also your likes and dislikes, hope and aspirations, grievances and insecurities. Homeopathy is a complete system of medicine treating on all levels to bring back homeostasis to the body/mind.
Based on the use of nanoparticles'/quantum physics, Homeopathic medicines are produced using tiny amounts of substances that can (when taken in its crude state) create symptoms in a person that are most similar to what the person is currently experiencing. It acts like a catalyst or stimulus to the immune system/vital force, so that it can overcome illness without causing further complications to the body/mind.
It is a gentle, non toxic and safe to use medicine, from pregnancy & infants to the elderly, homeopathy has something to offer for everyone. has been used as a complementary medicine for over 200 years.
I am a firm believer that people have a right to the type of healthcare that they choose for themselves. I do not believe one modality is better than another, what I believe is that different things work for different people and choice MUST always be available. I also believe that modalities can also work together for the best outcome of the individual.
Homeopathy is all about gentle and holistic healing. The difference between homeopathy and other forms of treatment is that homoeopathy does not treat the disease but the person who is experiencing “dis-ease” – you.
Homeopathy respects the wisdom of the human body/mind, with the belief that the body and mind can heal themselves. When there is Dis-ease within the body/mind, homeopathy helps stimulate the body/mind back to homeostasis – back to balance.
Homeopathy has been used for well over 200 years in supporting people back to health. In some countries it is used alongside allopathic medicine and in some case it is used on its own, in its own right. It has a stood the test of time and continues to provide healing for many people.
Homeopathy is as unique as you are, your experiences and symptoms are individual and you need a medicine that will match what YOUR experiencing. This is where Homeopathy excels with over 8000 remedies to chose from, this is true holistic work, it is individual, safe and effective.
I love that I can work in both realms of health with my background in nursing/midwifery and now mental health, as well as having the skills to provide other alternatives and supportive options for people who are looking for the same options.
There are two main categories of treatment in Homeopathic Medicine; i.e., acute and chronic.
Acute treatment is for illness of recent onset; it may be self-limited (for example, the common cold), or it may progress if not treated (for example, pneumonia). In such an illness the body might overcome the illness, a cold for example, sooner or later, but the appropriate medicine gently stimulates the body to recover more quickly and efficiently.
Chronic or constitutional treatment is the other main category of treatment. A chronic disease is long standing or a recurrent health problem. The length of treatment and the challenge to achieve positive results is affected by many factors, including the nature of the problem, the early health history, the family medical history, the previous treatment, and the person’s inherent constitutional strength. The goal is to help the person to return to a state of well-being through individualized homeopathic treatment.
Homeopathic consultations are in-depth and require detailed information exploring not just the physical ailments but the mental and emotional changes that occur as well. When prescribing a remedy, the choice is made on the totality of the case, in other words, the total picture presented at the consultation - and this take time.
For a lot of new people to Homeopathy, be prepared for lots of questions. Details are important in the consultation and this is a great way for you to really TELL someone all the details about what your experiencing and how this is affecting you. It is set up very similar to a counselling consultation, providing you with a safe, non-judgemental place for you to really explore what is happening for you on all levels and we always start by looking at what brings you to seek some help. What I will stress at this point, is don't hold back on saying something because it sounds "weird". This is an important part of your case.
Some examples of questions to expect at a consultation include:
· What is bothering you most right now?
· What part of the body is affected?
· Describe the pain or discomfort you are experiencing?
· When did it begin?
. What time of the day or night is it worse or better?
· What was going on in your life at the time it began?
· How does it affect you?
. What makes it better? What makes it worse?
· Does anything else happen around the same time as your main complaint? e.g. sleepiness, insomnia, thirst, fever, vertigo etc.
· Do you have other conditions affecting your health?
Due to its wide scope of use consultations are normally set out as below:
You will also be emailed a history form where you can complete this prior to your appointment. This will assist greatly in ensuring we spend the time discussing what is happening for you rather than doing paperwork during your session time.
As previously outlined, Homeopathy has a very wide scope that it can treat however, my interest has always been in the maternity side of things, treating mothers and baby's when issues have arisen. I am now also using this as a support to people with mental health concerns such as mood disorders, stress and anxiety and birth trauma etc.
Examples of my focus areas are:
- Young women - irregular menses, painful menses, hormonal challenges and mood changes.
- Women in reproductive age - difficulty falling pregnant
- Pregnancy, birth and post birth - nausea, haemorrhoids, constipation, overdue baby, Braxton-Hicks, mental/emotional support during pregnancy, birth and postnatally, breastfeeding, mastitis, newborn challenges eg: colic, reflux etc.
- Perimenopausal/Menopause - hot flushes, sleep disturbance, excessive perspiration, fatigue, altered libido, emotional changes.
-Children - from newborns through childhood, Homeopathy can help with common childhood illnesses etc.
-Mood disorders - Homeopathy can provide relief with symptoms of anxiety, depression, birth trauma, trauma in general, grief and loss and works well along side current psychiatric medication.
Homeopathic Kits:
Kits are available for use at home. These are incredibly helpful for those mild things that crop up suddenly, to be able to reach for a remedy and find relief or give you time to get to help. Parents who use these kits find it empowering to know that they have the knowledge and skills to be able to treat mild illnesses etc at home themselves.
These kits are available after consultation where you will be taught how to use these. Price varies depending on number of remedies.
Homeobotanicals and/or flower essences may also be prescribed which will enhance the activity of the remedy if needed.
I use both single remedy prescriptions and combination remedies depending on the case.
