With so much information out there about alternative health and holistic medicine, it can be difficult to know where to start when researching alternative ways of balancing the body. While the majority of people still use traditional western medicine to treat illnesses and ailments, more and more people are turning toward gentler forms of treatment that have been around for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine that was created in 1796 by German Physician Samuel Hahnemann. Created on the basis of treating “like for like” ie, treating the body with ingredients that make the body react similarly to ones that are already being experienced, many people in the east and west of the world swear by the practice. One successful homeopath that has been practising the treatments for years is Grainne Adams, owner of Homeopathy for Health. Here, we will explain how homeopathy works with the help of her expertise.
What is Homeopathy?
As aforementioned, homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine used to help people suffering from a wide range of symptoms, from anxiety and nausea to pain, colds, flus, and muscle aches. Unlike most modern medicines, homeopathic remedies work on the basis of treating “like for like”, ie treating the symptom being targeted with a remedy that closely resembles this symptom. For example, if one was to suffer from a sore throat, the homeopathic remedy would often contain ingredients that will replicate these symptoms. This is believed to kick-start the body’s natural healing process and soothe the patient naturally. Interestingly, the remedies and tinctures used in homeopathy are so highly diluted that they are usually safe for both adult and child consumption.
What Happens During a Homeopathy Consultation?
Homeopathy practitioners, such as the Homeopathy for Health clinic, will always offer an in-depth consultation with clients to get a wide view of their overall health before deciding on a homeopathic remedy to suit them. During a consultation at Homeopathy for Health, the client is asked to describe the symptoms that they are experiencing, including how long they have been experiencing symptoms, the severity of the symptoms, other problems associated with the symptoms, etc. Other lifestyle questions including eating and sleeping habits, stress factors, and past medical history will also be asked. These questions are asked in order to get a holistic insight into the client’s health and lifestyle. After an initial consultation, which usually lasts an hour, the client is given a tailored remedy to suit their body. After taking the remedy for an agreed amount of time, a follow-up consultation is always given to check up on progress.
What Symptoms Does Homeopathy Treat?
Something important to remember when considering homeopathic treatments is that this form of alternative medicine treats a person rather than a symptom. Unlike modern medicine, homeopathy considers the holistic role of the individual before recommending a remedy. Past clients of Homeopathy for Health include men, women, and children who have suffered from the following symptoms: psoriasis, sinus problems, joint pain, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, constipation, IBS, high blood pressure, fertility problems, chronic fatigue, colic, ADHD, and more.
