Homeopathy
The term homeopathy originates from the Greek word Homeo - which means similar - and Pathos - which means suffering, illness and emotion. Homeopathy is often referred to as an alternative medical system and takes a different approach from conventional medicine in diagnosing, classifying, and treating associated medical problems.

The principles of Homeopathy have existed for centuries and are based on fact, systems of theory and practice that evolved long before any kind of accepted conventional medical methods were introduced.

There are a number of key factors to Homeopathy, including:

• Homeopathy remedies will inspire and stimulate defense mechanisms and processes within the human body, treating illness and further preventing it.
• Treatment involves giving very small doses of substances that are referred to as remedies that, according to Homeopathy, will produce similar symptoms of illness in healthy people should they be administered in extreme or larger doses. It is often referred to as treating ‘like with like’ and actually dates back to Hippocrates (460-377BC).
• All treatment in Homeopathy is bespoke (specifically tailored to each individual). Homeopathic practitioners carefully select remedies according to the complete picture of the patient, that incorporate, not only symptoms of the illness, but lifestyle, emotional and mental states, nutrition also.
