HOMEOPATHY FACTFILE

Homeopathy focuses upon treating the individual as opposed to treating the disease.  To accomplish this, the treatment encompasses the body as a whole, the physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual.  The belief is that all disease (dis-ease) originates as a result of an energetic disruption, commonly stemming from an emotional disturbance within a certain point of the clients life.  Homeopathy treats the overall flow of energy within a clients body, hence the term an, ‘energetic therapy’.  When the source of the energy block is found and released, rapid and deep healing can then begin to take place, usually with extraordinary results.

The foundation of Homeopathy is the belief that a substance, which has the ability of causing symptoms in a healthy person, can be utilized to treat a sick person that is displaying the same symptoms.  Additionally as homeopathy is a holistic treatment it’s healing benefits can relieve all of the client’s complaints.

The remedies used within homeopathy are predominantly animal, mineral or plant derivatives.  Belladonna, sulphur, arnica, mercury and cuttlefish ink are a few of the earliest remedies, whereas cadmium and dolphin’s milk are more recent additions to the materia medica.  A process called potentisation, which is a series of succussions and dilutions is performed to prepare the remedies.

Through the use of homeopathy and it’s remedies the client is able to regain the body’s own natural healing forces

FINDING A QUALIFIED HOMEOPATH

Research has shown homeopathy to be a safe therapy when applied by a trained or qualified homeopath and can be an effective treatment for people of all ages. It is wise to carry out some research and select a homeopath who is either a member of, or accredited by, an association or professional body such as the New Zealand Council of Homeopaths (NZCH).  Homeopaths are obligated to a code of ethics and procedure that determines the therapy is carried out in a suitable and safe environment.  These regulations also guarantee a specialist who has undergone certifiable training and receives professional upskilling.
