Homeopathic consultations

Homeopathy is a system of medicine, which uses micro doses of substances derived from plants, animals and minerals for the purpose of stimulating a natural healing response. This system of health care originated in Germany and has been used worldwide for over 200 years. Homeopathy uses remedies which are prepared according to particular procedures of dilutions and dynamisation and chosen according to a complex methodology based on the “law of similars” (cures by symptoms similarity). For example, if you get a sting from a bee it will cause you to develop a wheal with pain and redness which might be relieved by a cold application on the affected area. A homeopath might administer a homeopathic remedy Apis Melifica (made from a bee sting) to help relieve patients presenting with urticaria characterised by red wheals and pain similar to those of bee stings. One of the unique features of homeopathy is that it treats individuals and not diseases. Our focus as homeopaths is to treat the individual and not to suppress symptoms. I carry out homeopathic consultations in Leigh-on-Sea, so that we can work with the body’s healing process together, and help rebalance it so that its vitality is restored. Homeopathy does not attack microorganisms, such as viruses and bacteria, but instead strengthens the organism’s capacity to defend and regulate itself. In so doing, homeopathic treatment can be healing in patients with physical, emotional and mental conditions, both acute and chronic.

Homeopathy is safe is for babies, children and adults, including pregnant women, nursing women, and the elderly. When used correctly and in consonance with the homeopathic principles, the remedies are totally safe as there's no toxicity, no addiction, no dependency, and no withdrawal. Millions of people use it to help themselves, their families and their pets without any dangerous physical repercussions. Contact me to arrange a homeopathic consultation in Leigh-on-Sea.

Homeopathy does not have the side effects associated with conventional drugs. Mild and transient symptoms (headache, diarrhoea, vertigo, tiredness, etc) or temporary aggravation of existing symptoms may occur in sensitive patients after taking the homeopathic remedy. These symptoms are a sign that the remedy is acting in the organism. They will go away by themselves after a short time.

During a homeopathic consultation I want to know what bothers the individual and will go through the complaints in detail. I might ask the person to fill up a form with some details of their complaints before our interview so no important information is missing. The first consultation will be the longest as many details need to be taken in the case history, usually 1-2 hours. The follow-ups usually take shorter time, they happen 4 to 6 weeks after your first consultation for your chronic ailment. They help the practitioner asses the effect of the remedy given and the progress of the treatment. Because homeopathy relies on the information given by the patient, it is vital that an accurate description is given in the consultation. Enough time and space will be provided for an open and full account of the symptoms and how they affect the person. The information is kept confidential at all times.

Yes. In fact, the correct homeopathic remedies can often help relieve the discomfort experienced after surgery, or after excessive use of antibiotics or steroids when this have created an imbalance in the body where you feel not completely well. It is not uncommonly used to relief, for example the nausea and discomfort felt after chemotherapy and radiotherapy without minimising the effect of it.
