BODYWORKS HOMEOPATHY
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is
a safe and natural holistic form of treatment, which gently encourages the body
to heal itself. It is a system of medicine suitable for all ages, from
newborn babies and teenagers to pregnant women and the elderly, and can be used
to treat people with a wide range of ailments including coughs and colds,
digestive problems, skin complaints, allergies, joint problems, insomnia,
stress, anxiety and depression.
Homeopathy
was originally discovered by Samuel Hahnemann, a German Doctor over 200 years
ago and is now widely used throughout the world to restore and maintain great
health.
Like cures like
Homeopathy
works on the principle of 'like cures like', also known as the way of similars.
For example a person suffering from insomnia may be prescribed a minute dose of
a substance such as coffee, which would cause sleeplessness in a healthy person
if taken in large quantities.
Homeopathic
remedies
Safe and gentle
Homeopathic
remedies are diluted so they are safe and gentle. The dilution process not only
eliminates any toxic effects that the original substance may have had, but also
accentuates their healing properties. They act gently, stimulating the
body with as little of a substance as possible to affect healing. Remedies prescribed
by a homeopath are safe during pregnancy, safe for babies, children and elderly
patients.
Where mainstream drugs provide as much of a substance as a patient can
tolerate, homeopathic remedies provide as little as is needed to gently affect
change.
Helping the body
to heal itself
Homeopathic
remedies gently stimulate the body’s natural healing capacity is enhanced,
encouraging the body to heal itself. Remedies are made from naturally
occurring substances that have not been modified or synthesised.
Treating the
whole person
One of the
main reasons for its success is that homeopathy treats the individual as a
whole person, considering not only physical symptoms, but mental and emotional
characteristics too. So for example, a woman suffering from PMT who is angry
before her periods would be given a different remedy from a person who is
tearful before her periods.
Looking at the
whole body
Homeopathy
looks at all the symptoms of the body together and finds themes running through
the whole system. For example, a woman with fibroids, warts, sinusitis and
benign breast lumps may have a tendency towards overproduction in her system –
making too many cells and producing too much mucous. Remedies would be given to
address this theme so that all of these physical symptoms may be improved.
Addressing the
cause
Homeopathy
looks at the cause of symptoms, especially any emotional stresses or
events that happened around the time the symptoms started. For example, a man's
irritable bowel syndrome started 4 months after his wife passed
away. The feelings of loss, loneliness, fear of the future etc. may be the
cause of the physical symptoms therefore by using remedies
that address these emotions the IBS may be relieved.
