About Me
I trained as a nurse at the Southend and Rochford hospitals and on qualification I worked as a Staff Nurse on medical wards and the Intensive Therapy Unit. After a couple of years I undertook midwifery training at the Basildon and Thurrock hospitals and on qualification I worked as a Staff Midwife on Basildon maternity unit.
I married a marine engineer and following my marriage I often accompanied my husband on his ship to various foreign ports. The birth of our first son put an end to my travels and I settled down to life ashore as a wife and mother, enjoying a family of three boys.
I found, much to my surprise, that conventional medicine did not solve all of the health problems I now encountered with my own family. Two of my sons seemed stuck in a cycle of cold, catarrh, ear infection, antibiotics, cold, and another was plagued by migraines. I was concerned principally by the amount of medication that seemed to be needed by all of them and became determined to seek a better option.
I had always thought of alternative therapies as of little use but now I felt they warranted further investigation. I considered herbal medicine, as I had seen its effectiveness during my travels abroad, but was concerned that this was also potent medicine. Homeopathy, with its minimal doses seemed a safer option, so after a little research and the go-ahead from the GP I took my children to a homeopath.
Within three months I was amazed by the changes such dilute and gentle remedies could bring. Colds were fewer, went quicker and did not always end in ear infections and the migraines just disappeared. It was of particular interest to me that not only had the physical health of my three boys improved but, also their temperaments. They were less grumpy (not something I had thought was curable) and they became happier, healthier children.
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a gentle holistic therapy that stimulates the body's ability to heal itself. It respects the efforts that the body makes to counter disease and instead of fighting these efforts it offers support and encouragement. It does this by matching the remedy's effect to the actions that the body is already taking through the symptoms of the disease.
A remedy is selected that given in a material dose would cause similar symptoms to those present in the individual. This substance is highly diluted and shaken in a carefully controlled way and when administered will stimulate the body to correct the problem.
Homeopathy is system of healing that has existed in its present form for over two hundred years but which has its roots in more ancient ideas.
The invention or discovery of Homeopathy is credited to Samuel Hahnemann who was born in Germany in 1755 and died in France in 1843. He trained as a doctor but became convinced that existing practises like purging and bloodletting did more harm than good and began to look for a safer gentler alternative.
How it can help you
Basically anything you might want to see the doctor for, or need to take some kind of medication for, can be helped to some degree by homeopathic treatment. Because it uses such immense dilutions it is a very gentle and safe form of medicine and does not interfere with conventional medicines.
This does not mean you should avoid going to your doctor. If in doubt always see him first and even ask his opinion about seeing a homeopath. The homeopath will never tell you to stop prescribed drugs. In some circumstances the homeopath may refrain from treating you until there has been some communication with the GP.
Homeopathy can be effective in physical, mental and emotional problems. It works just as well for a whole range of people from the strongest, most macho man to the smallest child, newborn baby, or frail elderly person.
Many women are attracted to homeopathy in pregnancy when most medication is frowned upon, and homeopathic remedies are invaluable throughout labour and the postnatal period. Menstrual and menopausal problems can also be successfully resolved with homeopathy.
