These pages aim to help you find accurate and helpful information about homeopathy - information you can trust.

Heightened public awareness of the dangers of chemicals in the food chain, growing resistance to antibiotics through over-use, and concerns about the side-effects from some conventional drugs are contributing to a massive rethink about the way we live and how we seek to regain health.

Homeopathy - with its use of natural substances in minute doses, absence of harmful side-effects, and holistic and person-centred approach - is attracting an ever-widening public.

Facts
Homeopathy is a therapeutic system which has been used for over 200 years.
  • It works on the principle that 'like treats like'. An illness is treated with a medicine which could produce similar symptoms in a healthy person.
  • The active ingredients are given in highly diluted form to avoid toxicity. Homeopathic remedies are virtually 100% safe.
  • Homeopathy is successful in treating a wide range of conditions, often after conventional medicine has failed.
  • Homeopathic doctors use history-taking, examination and investigation, just as all doctors do.
  • Prescribing is based on all aspects of a patient's condition. The patient's personality and lifestyle are important.
  • Homeopathy integrates well with conventional medicine.
