Homoeopathy & Herbalism
Homoeopathy (also 'Homeopathy')
homoeopathy
/ ˌhəʊmɪˈɒpəθi,hɒm-/
noun
-
a system of complementary medicine in which ailments are treated by minute doses of natural substances that in larger amounts would produce symptoms of the ailment.
Origin
early 19th century: coined in German from Greek homoios ‘like’ + patheia (see -pathy).
Homoeopathy is a gentle and effective form of medicine that was initially developed in the 18th century by Dr Samuel Hahnemann. He discovered that remedies made from extremely dilute substances, usually taken from plants or minerals, could stimulate the body’s ability to heal itself.
Homoeopathic treatment may help with many ailments ranging from flu and gastric upsets to more chronic conditions such asthma, hormone imbalances, and high blood pressure, amongst others.
Remedies can also be supportive for people going through emotional trauma such as grief, addiction, exam nerves, anxiety, and stress, and to deal with the physical ailments that are the result of these states.
The aim of homoeopathy is to help alleviate specific problems and also to engender an increased sense of well-being and vitality, with less susceptibility to illness.
