Homeopathy is a well-established system of natural medicine which has been practised for over 200 years. Initially developed in Germany, it is now widely used in Europe, the Americas, India, Russia, Japan and Australia.


Homeopathy works on the principle that "like cures like". To give an example, imagine the symptoms you experience when you slice an onion: watery eyes and a runny nose are the most common. If someone suffers from similiar symptoms during a cold or with hayfever, the homeopathic remedy made from onion, allium cepa, will alleviate the symptoms.


Homeopathy can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, and is safe for new born babies, pregnant women, elderly people and those with chronic conditions. Some commonly treated complaints include:

• Eczema, acne and psoriasis


• PMS, menopausal and menstrual complaints


• Tonsillitis, cystitis, sinusitus and other infections


• IBS, colic, colitis, constipation and diarrhoea


• Headaches and migraines


• Stress, panic attacks and depression


• Insomnia, nightmares and night terrors


• Pre and post operative care
