Homeopathy

Homeopathy is one of the two most widely used forms of medicine in the world today, because people are discovering the benefits of a system of medicine that is safe, effective and treats them as unique individuals.

Homeopathy is natural, non-toxic, non-addictive form of medicine which is free from side effects.  Homeopathy is a gentle, holistic system of healing, suitable for everyone, young and old.  Homeopathy focuses on you as an individual, concentrating on treating your specific physical and emotional symptoms to give long lasting benefits.

The therapy is based on the theory of treating “like with like”. Homeopathic remedies are highly diluted natural substances that if given in stronger doses to a healthy person, would produce the symptoms the medicine is prescribed for.  

Remedies stimulate the built in self-healing response in the body to prioritize self repair. In this manner, it is a naturopathic form of medicine seeking to assist nature’s own healing energies rather than to attack them. It does not weaken the defence system by suppression.

Homeopathy considers all the symptoms of a person in order to prescribe a remedy to fit each individual as opposed to viewing the symptom picture as separate entities.  It can be used instead of, or alongside drugs prescribed by your doctor and will not interfere with their beneficial action. As your condition improves, you may be able to safely reduce your conventional medication, thereby avoiding the unwanted effects that sometimes accompany the long-term use of drugs.

Natural medicine is not always the only route to take – an integrated healthcare system where conventional and natural medicine work side-by-side, helping you as the patient to be empowered by a sense of choice and knowledge of the options that are available to you is key to Cleo’s practice and your health.

NB: you should always consult with your GP before making changes to your conventional medication.
