Homeopathy
Homeopathy
A safe, effective system of healing using medicines, referred to as remedies, that activate the bodies innate healing processes to reawaken a healthy state.
Homeopathy is a holistic system meaning it looks at the whole of the individual rather than simply treating symptoms. True healing is not simply the removal of symptoms, it is the removal of the cause of the symptoms.
The second most popular system of medicine in the world, over 200 million people use homeopathy on a regular basis. Homeopathy can be safely used at the same time as conventional medicine.

Let’s find out how we can work together
Choosing a therapist is a very difficult decision to make. You might have already talked to many experts, and tried many different therapies … without success.
Mainstream medicine doesn’t have all the answers. Homeopathy and Bowen Therapy might be able to help you when all other treatments have failed.
FAQ
What to expect in a homeopathic consultation
I will be taking confidential, written notes. There is no physical examination, you will be seated in a comfortable chair and will be given all the time, space and attention you need to tell me everything you are able to about you.
At the end of the consultation we will discuss our plan of action moving forward. We will also discuss any measures that you will be able to take for yourself in improving your health and well-being.
I can conduct in person appointments in my clinic at West Chilla or via zoom if you are unable to travel to me.
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a holistic medicine which uses specially prepared, highly diluted, substances with the aim of triggering the body’s own healing mechanisms.
A homeopath will prescribe medicines according to the patient’s specific set of symptoms, and how they experience them, taking into account their overall level of health.
Homeopathy is based on the principle of “like treats like” – that is, a substance which can cause symptoms when taken in large doses, can be used in small amounts to treat similar symptoms. For example, drinking too much coffee can cause sleeplessness and agitation, so according to this principle, when made into a homeopathic medicine, it could be used to treat people suffering from sleeplessness and agitation.
How can homeopathy help you?
Homeopathy has a wide scope of application and can be used to help people with a broad variety of health-related issues. People consult a homeopath for all sorts of personal reasons.
Some use homeopathic treatment to deal with a specific medical problem, others may simply feel ‘out of sorts’, feeling that they are functioning under par. Homeopathy is a good choice for children too as they tend to respond particularly well to homeopathic treatment, and parents often don’t want to give their children pharmaceutical drugs.
Many people use homeopathy as an alternative to going to see their GP. However, it doesn’t need to be an either/or – Homeopathy can be used safely alongside conventional medical treatment.
What are homeopathic medicines?
Homeopathic medicines also known as “remedies” are made from substances designed to help stimulate the bodies innate healing ability. Remedies are made from small amounts of natural substances such as plants and minerals which are prepared, or “potentised” using a process of repeated dilution and succussion.
There remedies are made in licensed laboratories under strict controls. They are usualy taken as a tablet but are also available as liquids, powder or creams.

How long will it take for me to get better?
This varies enormously depending on how long you have been unwell in the first place. When a remedy is well-matched to the patient there are likely to be signs of improvement within the first month even if they have been unwell for a long time, but it would be unrealistic to expect a complete cure this quickly.
While conventional drugs work by suppressing or masking symptoms for immediate relief, the aim of homeopathy is to cure the underlying problem that is causing those symptoms. If the road into your present condition has been a long and gradual process, the road out of it may also be long and gradual, but at least it will be in the right direction.
I like to say to people that I will walk along side them on their road to improved health and well being. If I am working with you, I am 100% on your team.
I don't live in Devon or Cornwall, can you still help me?
Yes! Homeopathy sessions can be delivered in person, or remotely over Zoom.
