Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a natural healing process based on the principle of treating like with like. It involves the use of a small amount of a drug that in a healthy person would produce symptoms similar to those of the disease being treated.
Homeopathy is recognised as a safe alternative form of medicine which has been used by the Royal Family for generations.

NATURAL HEALING

Remedies help the patient to regain health by stimulating the body's own natural healing forces.
The patient is treated as a whole person - not just as a patient with an illness.
Many factors are taken into account such as:

Medical history
Personality
Preferences
What makes the complaint worse
What eases the complaint
