The basic principle of Homeopathy has been known since the time of the ancient Greeks.
Derived from the Greek word ‘homoios’ meaning ‘like’ - Homeopathy is the medical practice of treating like with like.
This is to say, treating an illness with a substance that produces in a healthy person similar symptoms to those displayed by the person who is ill.
Current medical opinion believes that symptoms are caused by the illness.
Homeopathy, by contrast sees the symptoms as the body’s reaction against the illness as it attempts to overcome it, and seeks to stimulate and not suppress this reaction.
Homeopathic treatment can take place with or without orthodox treatment. It is a gentle treatment with no side effects, helping to increase the patient’s immunity. |
