Homeopathy – A real alternative…
How did it start?
As far back as Hippocrates, it was recognized that illness could be treated in two ways- by opposites, (today’s allopathy medicine) or similars, (which is today’s homeopathy).
It was a German doctor called Samuel Hahnemann in the 18th century, who discovered ‘like cures like’ and embarked on a journey that would bring us the homeopathy that we know of today. Unlike modern medicine, very little has changed in the way it is used and prescribed over 200years on and it is recognized as a system of medicine in its own right.
How does it work?
Disease, is ‘dis- ease’ within the body and our bodies will display this ‘dis-ease’ in many different ways. All of us are individuals and so our illnesses are individual to us as well. Much is made in recent times of the holistic approach to health, which means we need to look at the body as a ‘whole’ and not just the area, which is causing concern.
This approach, is what as a homeopath, I take. Homeopathy can only stimulate and enable the body to heal itself. By taking detailed information down about the symptoms being suffered, we then match the symptoms of the person to a remedy, which also displays similar symptoms, thus ‘like cures like’…
For example, if two people were suffering from a sore throat and the symptoms of each taken down, then the ‘picture’ of the sore throats would vary between the two people – i.e. the first sore throat could be worse on the left hand side, more swollen there, dark red/purple in colour and yet feel easier when swallowing food. The second sore throat could feel so raw, that the sensation is that of a fish bone stuck in it and is agony to swallow anything but warm drinks and may also have tiny ulcers on the tonsils. The remedies required to help these people, therefore, would be different and have to be chosen to fit each picture of symptoms separately.
Do I continue medication?
Homeopathy is safe to use alongside conventional medicine and is free from the worry of side effects that many modern medicines have. It has proven very effective on children and animals, so it cannot just be a ‘placebo effect’ that is often claimed.
The difference when treating someone homeopathically, is that it is not a quick fix and whilst consultations are only monthly to begin with, several visits are usually required over a period of time to make a difference to the problem.
Testimonials“I have been consulting Jo for xx years having first been introduced to homeopathy 12 years ago; it is an effective and powerful therapy treating mind and body together and it is a shame it is so little understood. Of the several homeopaths I have consulted Jo is outstandingly the best.
I initially consulted her with bereavement issues (both emotional and physical) but she has helped me resolve so much more. She is now an essential part of my support structure; I see her on a regular basis and we keep on top of whatever issues are around - maybe a bit of tendonitis, maybe disturbed sleep, hayfever, blocked sinuses - whatever. Sometimes these are linked to an underlying emotional issue - a difficult anniversary or anxiety about a forthcoming event. Homeopathy doesn't distinguish between the physical and emotional and a good homeopath - like Jo - will immediately make the connections and prescribe accordingly.
If you are familiar with homeopathy then you will find Jo immensely knowledgeable, brilliant at the very close observation that is part and parcel of homeopathy - and good fun as well! If you are searching for an alternative to current drugs based conventional medicine which sometimes seems not to see the whole person then I would recommend you give homeopathy a try - you could not be in better hands than with Jo.”
“Homeopathy has kept me afloat for years, without having to call on the medical profession” (a patient of 88yrs old)
'We have been seeing Jo for nearly a year now and the treatment we have received has been amazing. She is very professional and always willing to help where she can. She has been fantastic with my son who has Tourette's and suffers with OCD and anxiety. Since he has been receiving remedies from Jo his symptoms have improved dramatically! He is a different boy. She is brilliant at talking to children and working out how best to treat them. She is very committed to our family as a whole, which makes us feel like she genuinely cares about us and her profession. I would highly recommend her.'
'I was referred to Jo through my osteopath and at first was slightly skeptical about homeopathy. After over twenty years of fairly severe and persistent kidney infections I was desperate for a solution. I have been through every medical operation, investigation and medication. Nothing worked to eradicate these ongoing infections. I visited Jo after a particularly nasty bout which left me ill for a number of weeks. That was in October. Its now April and I have been infection free for 6 months, the longest period of time in over 20 years without an attack. Jo is a very good listener, she is thorough and has a sound medical background which really strengthens her ability to tailor the right homeopathic remedy for her patients. Jo has worked to strengthen my immune system and wellbeing as well as target specific ailments. My energy levels are up, I feel stronger and in better health than I have done for years. I look forward to our sessions every month and now recommend Homeopathic remedies through Jo to all my family and friends.’'
