Homeopathy Treatments

A number of ‘drop-in’ appointments are available each day for acute consultations.

These 15 – 30 minute appointments are suitable for urgent, intense conditions involving fever, pain, inflammation, suppuration (pus), or mild injury to tissues.

Examples of common ailments presenting at my clinic include colds, influenza, fever, earache, sore throat, tonsillitis, vomiting & diarrhoea, burns, bites, mild electric shock, conjunctivitis, cystitis, injuries, chickenpox and whooping cough.

An audit of my practice has shown that treatment will often speed up recovery from conditions that would normally take 1-2 weeks and/or over-the-counter medications to resolve.

These consultations are suitable for long-term chronic diseases.

Examples of adults who have attended include those with: allergies, asthma, eczema, psoriasis, hay fever, migraines, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid problems, hormonal problems, premenstrual syndrome,  back pain,  depression, anxiety and panic-attacks.

Your first visit to me requires a fairly lengthy ‘information-gathering’ conversation which lasts 1 – 1 ½ hours. A detailed case history is taken to look at your current health problems as well as past health issues and family traits so that your treatment can be planned according to your individual needs. My job as a homeopath is to then analyse this information in order to prescribe a remedy (or number of remedies) that most closely matches your unique pattern of symptoms. Your treatment is therefore individualised to support you as a whole, not just treat your separate symptoms. Homeopathy treats the causes of disease and not just the effects.

The duration of your treatment will depend very much on what sort of illness is involved and how long you have been suffering from the symptoms and the speed of relief will depend on the condition you have. It is my experience that acute conditions often respond very quickly to homeopathic treatment. In more chronic conditions recovery will depend upon your vitality, lifestyle and the length of time you have been ill. Even with chronic conditions patients often report a positive shift in health quite quickly.
