Homeopathy

Frequently asked questions

 I’ve tried homeopathy in the past and it didn’t work for me

Quite often individuals will self prescribe by buying a remedy off the counter, for ailments such as coughs, colds, cuts and bruises. These remedies are sold in low potencies and may not necessarily be in the right potency or perhaps may be the wrong remedy altogether. Consultation with an experienced homeopath is recommended.

Another reason could be that there is an underlying cause or layer of toxicity that is preventing the remedy from working, again, this can only be identified by an experienced homeopath.

Is homeopathy safe to take and are there any side effects?

Homeopathy rebalances the whole body and the prescription is individualized. There are no side effects from taking the remedies. I and my family take homeopathic remedies on a regular basis.

Can homeopathy help with bedwetting?

There are some great remedies for bedwetting. I will take the child’s case and look for possible underlying reasons for this. Reflexology and reiki are also particularly helpful, even more so when combined with homeopathy as these therapies address the emotional and physical aspects of the individual.

My child suffers from eczema and is regularly taking anti histamines at bed time and steroid creams. I am concerned about the long term effects of these but life would be very difficult for both of us if I were to stop my child from taking them, can homeopathy help in any way?

Yes, of course it can. I would not recommend that you stop taking the treatment that child is currently taking. I would start your child on a programme of treatment to help support their immune system. Both forms of treatment can work together side by side. Gradually he/she would be able to wean off the prescribed medicine without experiencing any discomfort. You will see that with time your child will develop and flourish on a more holistic level both emotionally and physically.

My daughter who has suffered from eczema and food intolerances has been treated wholly by homeopathy and has grown to strengthen her immune system and broaden her range of foods. She has also become so much more confident through this treatment.

I’ve been suffering from sudden flushes of heat during the day and I wake up in the morning feeling sweaty and uncomfortable. My doctor says that I’ve got the first signs of the menopause and suggested that I can be offered HRT. I don’t want to go on HRT can you help in any way?

All the therapies I offer are great for treating menopausal symptoms. Reflexology is wonderful for rebalancing the endocrine system and reiki too can harmonise your imbalances and give you ‘space’  and help you to ‘focus’ on yourself during this stage in your life. Homeopathy too is very effective in rebalancing the body on an emotional and physical level and addressing the symptoms that you are experiencing. Menopause is a time of great changes for a woman, a period of life that should be embraced as a woman identifies new freedom, reflection and growth.

I’ve been on HRT for a while now but I’m worried that I may get my old symptoms back when I come off it. Can you help me in any way?

Yes! Before you consider stopping HRT I will help you prepare for this by looking at your lifestyle, diet the symptoms you experienced before taking HRT and give you appropriate homeopathic remedies and treatment so that when you do stop taking HRT the transition is as smooth as possible for you. We can then work together to deal with any symptoms you are experiencing once you have stopped taking HRT, these are likely to be the ones that caused you to go on HRT in the first place.

I’ve been suffering from uterine polyps and I’m told that I’m anaemic. I may have to have the polyps removed. Are there any other choices available to me?

Again, reflexology and reiki are great for stimulating the body’s energy pathways and working on specific organs and the whole body. Homeopathy is great too. I have treated women who have suffered from uterine polyps and have had great success which has resulted in increased iron levels and no surgery undertaken.

Can homeopathy help with depression and low confidence. I have been like this for years and I don’t know what the reason is. I hate being like this but it has affected every part of my life?

Basically, if there is a condition or form of dis-ease, then there is a cure with homeopathy! It is such a wonderful system of treatment and takes in to account the whole person. Combined with reflexology and reiki the results are profound.

Can a Reflexologist diagnose illness?

The answer is no! We are not licensed physicians. Even though my clients will say specifically what their problem is, we are not trained to cure these problems directly. I spend extra time working on the reflex area on the foot that corresponds to the body part that is troubled but our treatments cannot be classified as medical treatment as such.

I’ve been on a course of antibiotics. Although my health has improved slightly I’m feeling very weak and am not completely better yet. I don’t want to take another course of antibiotics, can you help at all?

Yes, homeopathy can help and so can reflexology and reiki. Not only can I support you with building up your immune system, I can help heal up the residual symptoms that you are left with, and more!

Homeopathy has been in the news a lot recently. What does this mean for me?

Homeopathy is an energy based system of medicine that has been used around the world for over 200 years and is continually growing in popularity. Many of the discussions have been around the subject of evidence based research. The system of medicine is unique and individualised and therefore requires the same approach to collating evidence.
