1. Law of Similars (Like Cures Like):
The core idea of homeopathy is that substances that produce symptoms in a healthy individual can treat those same symptoms when administered in minute doses to someone who is ill. For example, a substance that causes a fever in a healthy person might be used to treat a feverish illness.
2. Minimal Dose:
Homeopathic remedies are prepared through a process of serial dilution and succussion (vigorous shaking). The belief is that the more a substance is diluted, the more potent it becomes. These dilutions often reach a point where the original substance is no longer chemically detectable, yet homeopaths believe the remedy retains a "memory" of the substance, which can stimulate the body's healing response.
3. Holistic Treatment:
Homeopathy treats the individual as a whole, considering their physical, emotional, and mental states. I take a detailed history to understand the your unique symptoms and select a remedy that matches your overall condition.
4. Individualised Remedies:
Treatment in homeopathy is highly personalised. Two people with the same illness might receive different remedies based on their specific symptoms and overall health profile.
