Homeopathy is a natural form of medicine which assists the body to heal itself.
The word ‘Homeopathy’ is made up of two words – ‘homeo’ or similar and ‘pathos’ or suffering. This refers to one of its founding principles of ‘like cures like’. In simple words, a substance used in small amounts will cure the same symptoms it causes, if used in large amounts.
Another central concept in homeopathy is that of the ‘vital force’. When in balance, this life energy maintains health, but on being disrupted can lead to illness. Homeopathic remedies stimulate this vital force of a body, prompting its inherent ability to heal itself.
With its natural remedies, homeopathy focusses on the unique needs of each person to provide individualized treatment plans and personalized healthcare to people.
